What is a Baseplate

A baseplate adheres to your peristomal (around the stoma) skin, helping protect your skin from stoma output, and attaching the pouch to your body.

Basplate include:

• Standard wear: Best for colostomy.
• Extended wear: Designed to provide greater protection from stoma output for people living with an ileostomy or urostomy as output can cause skin irritation.

Baseplate openings vary in fashion, including:

• Cut-to-fit: Can be cut to accommodate your unique stoma size.
• Pre-cut: Available in a wide variety of sizes to accommodate your stoma, without the need for cutting.
• Mouldable: By moulding around the stoma, this skin barrier creates a snug fit designed to provide greater leakage protection than traditional baseplates.

Convatec baseplates come in the following varieties:

• Stomahesive® technology for standard wear.
• Durahesive® technology for extended wear.
• Convatec Moldable Technology™ baseplate for a customised fit.
