EN Instructions for Use

The 2-piece collection system for enterostomy
or urostomy patients is made up of:
A base plate - at or convex - with a skin
barrier and a coupling ring for attaching
the pouch;
Dierent types of pouches:
> Closed;
> Drainable with an integrated “Roll’Up” soft
clamp system or a drainable High Flow cap,
connectable to a remote collection pouch;
> Drainable (for urostomies) with a drainage
tab connectable to an overnight pouch.
The innovative semi-soft coupling set-up
guide increases ease of use.
1Before placing the base plate
Cut the skin barrier to the size of your stoma
(A) using the measuring guide, remaining
within the maximum possible cut-out and
always allowing 2 to 3 mm around your
stoma: it should not be strangled by the
base.
2Preparing the skin
Gently clean the peristomal area with warm
water. Ether, alcohol and other antiseptics
may prevent the base from staying in place,
and should therefore be avoided.
Carefully dab dry.
3Placing the base plate
Remove the protective cover.
Place the base plate around your stoma
taking care to place the 3 buttons at the top
(B).
Carefully press the skin barrier onto the skin.
4Placing the pouch (closed & drainable)
Check that the outlet of uro pouches is closed.
Separate the internal sides of the pouch by
creasing them lightly to allow some air in;
Hold the pouch by its side wings (C).
Insert the guiding tab, (situated at the
bottom of the pouch’s coupling ring) into
one of the slots at the bottom of the base
ring (depending on which way up you want
to use the product) (D).
Starting at the bottom of the rings, interlock
the two rings by pressing them together
progressing from bottom to top (E1, E2)
over the entire circumference (F). It is
possible to place the thumbs under the base
plate ring to obtain a better grip and so
avoid pressing against the abdomen; this
must be done gently to avoid accidently
perforating the film under the base’s
coupling ring (G).
Finalise the coupling of the two rings.
Clip the pouch’s upper tab on the
corresponding base button (H).
5Removing the pouch
Unclip the pouch’s upper tab (I).

> Then close the pouch.
Please note: the closed sleeve is hidden under
the non woven (K3).
Drainable High Flow pouches:
Use the cap provided in the box to close the
pouch.
To empty your pouch, remove the cap and
point the pouch’s opening towards the toilet
bowl. Once the drainage is complete, clean
with toilet paper and close with the cap.
If necessary, the pouch can be connected to a
higher capacity collection pouch (Flow
Collector).
8Urostomy pouches
Handling the drainage tap:
Point the drainage system towards the toilet
bowl, slowly turn the cap counter-clockwise
until the desired ow rate is obtained (L1).
To close the cap once the pouch has been
emptied, turn clockwise until it has returned
to its original position (L2).
Connecting to an overnight or leg pouch:
Connect the pouch cap to the overnight or leg
pouch using the supplied connector.
Open the tap on the emptiable pouch to
allow the urine to ow. Close the tap before
disconnecting from the collection pouch.
Please note: If you would like to use a belt,
ensure you use two diametrically opposed
slots.
Separate the two rings by pulling gently on the
pouch’s upper tab in a downward motion (J1,
J2).
If necessary, clean the base plate with a
non-shedding cloth or towel.
6Using adhesive obturators on the lter
Before bathing or showering, hide the filter’s
gas evacuation vent.
To do this, stick an adhesive patch on the
openings (M).
> The openings are situated on the same side
of the pouch.
7Drainable pouches
Drainable pouch with integrated Roll’Up
clamp:
Closing the drainage sleeve:
> Fold the sleeve four times using the guide
and fold the tab back.
> To seal the pouch, apply pressure to the two
self-fastening strips facing each other.
Emptying the pouch:
> Position yourself to carry out the drainage,
release the two self-fastening strips and
unroll the sleeve. Be careful, the drainage
will start at this point. To fully open the
outlet place your fingers on each side (K1).
> Once the drainage is complete, expel, as
much as possible, any matter still in the
sleeve by pressing it lightly from top to
bottom. Carefully clean its extremity (be
careful: use non-shedding material) (K2).
