Instructions for use
One-piece drainable pouch with flat or convex skin
protector*, for collection of body effluents for any
person having undergone an intestinal surgery of
the ileostomy type.
1
Preparation of the skin:
Wash your hands.
Gently clean the area around the stoma with
lukewarm water and carefully dab with soft tissues.
Avoid using any disinfectant (ether, alcohol or other
antiseptic...) as it damages the skin and prevents the
proper adhesion of the pouch.
2
Fitting your appliance:
Cut the skin protector so it fits the size of your stoma,
taking good care not to perforate the film of the
pouch (do not cut beyond the limit) (A).
Close the outlet system. Separate the pouch walls by
crumpling it slightly to introduce air into it.
Peel the protective paper from the skin protector.
Position the bottom of the flange opening around the
base of the stoma (B).
Press the bottom part of the skin protector smoothly
onto the skin, then place and press onto the upper
part.
Smooth the entire surface of the skin protector,
working from bottom to top, to ensure perfect
adhesion (C).

If you wish to use a belt (with a convex product), choose
two notches that are diametrically opposed (D-E).
3
Removing your appliance :
Pull slightly on the top of the pouch and remove the
pouch from the top to the bottom, while maintaining
gentle pressure on the skin around the stoma with
your other hand.
4
Use of patch cover for filter protection:
If you wish to inactivate the filter (bath, shower...), stick
an adhesive patch on both sides of the top of the pouch
so that the hole for gas evacuation is blocked (F).
5
Drainable pouches:
Drainable pouch with a classical clamp*
Please ensure that your pouch is closed before
applying it.
Use the clamp provided in the box to close the pouch
(G-H-I).
When you want to empty the pouch, remove the
clamp and direct the open end of the pouch over the
toilet. Wipe the end of the pouch with a tissue after
it has been emptied and reapply the clamp.
Drainable pouch with the Roll'Up integrated outlet*
- Closing of the outlet:
Fold three times the remaining sleeve onto itself (J).
