SenSura Mio

SenSura Mio fits regular body profiles and has twice the stretch of a conventional product. The elasticity enables the appliance to move with your body, while maintaining a secure fit. The appliance stays securely in place, giving you more confidence and peace of mind throughout the day. Read more about SenSura Mio.

SenSura Mio Convex

SenSura Mio Convex is proven to reduce leakage for inward areas around the stoma. The adhesive stays securely on the skin, creating a reliable seal between the skin and the baseplate. Flexlines ensure the convex shell bends around the stoma - not in the middle of it, so you can bend and stretch without worrying. Read more about SenSura Mio Convex.

SenSura Mio Concave

SenSura Mio Concave is the first product specially designed for outward body profiles. The curved, star-shaped baseplate hugs the body for a good fit with less creasing and folding. Fit zones in the centre zone and outer rim provide extra flexibility, so the baseplate stays in place during body movement. Read more about SenSura Mio Concave.

Available in 1-piece and 2-piece, with Click coupling.

There are two main types of appliance:

One-piece system - this consists of a collection bag with an integrated adhesive baseplate, which firmly fits around your stoma (eg. SenSura® Mio 1-piece urostomy)

Two-piece system - the collection bag is separate from the adhesive baseplate, and the two halves are securely clipped or sealed together (eg. SenSura® Mio Click urostomy or SenSura® Mio Flex urostomy). This means that you don’t have to remove the adhesive plate from around the stoma every time you change the bag.

What is a urostomy?

If your bladder or urinary system is damaged or diseased and you are unable to pass urine normally, you will need a urinary diversion. This is called a urostomy, an ileal conduit or a Bricker bladder. An isolated part of the intestine is brought onto the surface of the right-hand side of your abdomen and the other end is sewn up. The ureters are detached from the bladder and reattached to the isolated section of the intestine. Because this section of the intestine is too small to function as a reservoir, and there is no muscle or valve to control urination, you will need a urostomy pouch to collect the urine.
