Hello everyone
I have recently started using a Coloplast 2-piece system. I just put it on yesterday. I guess what my question is, I noticed that the edges of the wafer are slightly lifted, not a lot but slightly. Is this normal for a Coloplast product. I'm using the Mio Click 2-piece.

Thanks for the input

That's the thing I do not like with wafers/bags that don't have a cloth edge like Hollister does. That lifted edge drives me nuts and I like the soft edge of the cloth ones from Hollister, plus it's one more barrier from a leak.

So, this lifting is normal for Coloplast then?

I've only tried a couple of samples, but the edge lifted for me as well.

Ok, I see. Well, I'll give it a try right now and see how things go, I reckon. Thank you for the input.

I use 2 pieces and find that as long as I warm up the base plate before use, it's great.

Amazing! I have the same problem with that particular wafer. I wore a belt and stuck a tape over it if it looked too shaky, but it never actually came apart. Their agent who sells their products here is not very helpful. I would suggest that you find out from that company directly, you will get a better response than I will from over here. Please let us know what they have to say. I don't think this is a normal thing, some sort of defect somewhere.

I use a Coloplast Sensura Mio Click. The edges of the wafer don't lift on mine. When I put it on, I smooth the wafer out all the way to the edges.
