Convatec Velcro Pouch Leakage Issues?

This topic is about the experiences people are having with the Convatec “InvisiClose” Velcro Pouch, specifically regarding issues with leakage at the closure. Here’s what people are saying and some advice they’ve shared:

- Many users have noticed that the newly redesigned Convatec InvisiClose Velcro drainable pouch tends to leak, particularly at the side seams of the Velcro strip.
- One person mentioned that they had two pouches in a row that leaked right away, describing the product as a “fail.”
- Another user experienced leakage only after the pouch was untucked for emptying. However, their replacement pouch has not leaked yet, which might indicate occasional manufacturing defects.
- Long-time users of Convatec products noted that the older version, which had a “double security” Velcro pouch with two locking flaps, never leaked. Unfortunately, this version has been discontinued and replaced by the single-flap InvisiClose design.
- Some users have called Convatec to report the issue, and company representatives have admitted to receiving “lots of complaints.”
- At least one person has decided to stop buying Convatec products because the leakage problem hasn’t been fixed, and there’s no alternative double-closure pouch available.
