SenSura Mio Concave Ostomy Bag (REF 18230)

A one-piece ostomy collection bag with an integrated concave (curved inward) adhesive baseplate designed for retracted or flush stomas. The SenSura Mio Concave features a soft, flexible baseplate that curves gently to fit body contours, an inspection window for monitoring stoma health without removing the bag, and an integrated Circle Filter 500 to neutralize odor and prevent ballooning. The opening is adjustable from 10-60mm diameter to accommodate various stoma sizes. Manufactured in neutral grey color for discretion.

Common humanitarian uses:

• Post-surgical ostomy management in field hospitals or emergency medical facilities
• Long-term ostomy care for patients with colostomies, ileostomies, or urostomies
• Management of retracted or flush stomas that require additional support and stability
• Ostomy care in displacement settings where patients need reliable, easy-to-use supplies
• Rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from abdominal surgery or trauma
• Chronic disease management in areas with limited access to specialized ostomy care

Key information:

• System type: One-piece (bag and baseplate integrated, changed together)
• Baseplate design: Concave (curved inward) for retracted or flush stomas
• Opening size: Adjustable/cut-to-fit from 10mm to 60mm diameter (Maxi range)
• Bag style: Closed or drainable (verify specific model configuration)
• Inspection window: Transparent viewing area to check stoma condition
• Odor control: Integrated Circle Filter 500 for gas release and odor neutralization
• Color: Neutral grey for discretion under clothing
• Package contents: 10 bags per box
• Wear time: Typically 1-3 days depending on output and skin condition
• Storage requirements: Room temperature in dry location, protect from extreme heat
• Shelf life: Several years when properly stored (check expiration date)
• Requires prescription: Varies by region; ostomy supplies often covered by healthcare systems

Important safety notes:

• Proper sizing critical: Measure stoma accurately; opening should be 2-3mm larger than stoma diameter to prevent contact between stoma and adhesive while minimizing exposed skin
• Concave design indication: Use only for retracted or flush stomas; do not use on protruding stomas as excess pressure can cause tissue damage
• Skin protection: Check peristomal skin regularly for irritation, allergic reaction, or breakdown; change bag immediately if leakage occurs
• Filter maintenance: Do not cover filter with tape or stickers; blocked filters cause bag ballooning and potential leakage
• Application technique: Ensure skin is clean, dry, and hair-free before application; press firmly for 30 seconds to activate adhesive
• Signs requiring medical attention: Significant stoma bleeding, stoma color change (dark purple, black, or very pale), severe skin irritation, or inability to achieve secure seal

SenSura Mio Concave Advantages: The concave baseplate design provides gentle pressure around retracted or flush stomas, helping create a secure seal where flat baseplates often fail. The flexible, body-hugging design follows natural movements, improving comfort and reducing leakage risk during physical activity. The inspection window allows healthcare workers to assess stoma health without removing the entire appliance, reducing skin trauma from frequent changes. The integrated filter prevents ballooning while neutralizing odor, important for patient dignity in shared living spaces common in humanitarian settings.
