Aurega 1 Drainable Convex Light
The Aurega 1 Drainable Convex Light is a one-piece ostomy bag available in both transparent and beige non-woven backing variants. The flange convexity is intended to manage flat or retracted stomas and to help compensate for skin irregularities such as creases or folds. Aurega Convex Light offers extra thinness which translates into higher elasticity and much better adaptation to the irregular skin surface. The bag is equipped with a longitudinal active carbon filter which prevents the bag from ballooning. The bag is intended to be used with different types of stoma depending on the place of its emergence: small intestine (ileostomy or jejunostomy), large intestine (colostomy) or esophagus (salivary gland fistula).
Extra elasticity
Aurega Convex Light, thanks to its extremely small thinness, offers improved elasticity and ensures perfect flange adaptation to the irregular skin surface.
Reduction in thickness offers better adherence, which in turn counteracts the leakage of the intestinal contents under the surface of the adhesive. The elastic properties of Aurega Convex Light flange also let it stretch and return to its original shape, following the natural movements of the body.
The convex flange is recommended for ostomates whose stomas are flush to the skin or retracted. Convex curve can also provide sufficient tension to flatten peristomal skin folds, thus creating a flatter surface for flange application.
Velcro fastening
The Aurega Drainable ostomy bag series is equipped with an integrated Velcro fastener, making the opening and closing of the bag extremely quick and easy. Closing the bag takes place by folding its outlet 3 times towards the body and joining the rolled up tip with the material overlap fastened to the bag’s foil. Opening the bag is an even simpler task – just disconnect the material layer from the Velcro tip, and then unfold the previously rolled-up bag outlet.
The base of the bag outlet include a special overlap which greatly facilitates emptying of the bag’s contents without the risk of soiling your hands.
Outer non-woven backing
In the production of Aurega bags we use only specially selected soft and light non-woven fabrics which are skin-friendly and does not cause strong friction with the clothing. The beige material colour has been chosen to ensure the optimal level of discretion by matching the natural skin colour of the user. In the case of beige bags with a viewing window, the double non-woven layer reduces the rustling of the film.
The fabrics used for Aurega bags production are waterproof and offers high breathability, which prevents the formation of sweat on the skin at the place where the bag comes into contact with the body. The hydrophobic properties of the non-woven material allow the bag to dry quickly after swimming or taking a shower.
Viewing window
All Aurega bags with a double-sided non-woven material have a viewing window located on the outer side of the bag. The window allows easy monitoring of the stoma as well as the amount and state of the bag’s content. It is also helpful when attaching the bag, making it easier to precisely match the hole in the flange to the stoma on the body.
