Finding Holes in Coloplast Bags

This topic is about a recurring issue with Coloplast SenSura Mio 1-piece pouches, specifically the transparent version. The original poster has been experiencing problems with these pouches having visible holes or tiny pinholes in the plastic film over the past six months. Despite receiving replacement boxes directly from Coloplast, the defects persist. Here are some suggestions and insights that might help:

1. If possible, try another brand or request samples from other manufacturers until Coloplast resolves the quality-control issue. However, if you have allergies to other brands, at least test samples of alternative products, including Coloplast’s rotatable two-piece systems, to see if they are compatible with your skin.

2. Some users have not experienced holes in the SenSura Mio 1-piece opaque bags, which might indicate that the defect is specific to a certain production run or the transparent variant. Consider ordering from a different supplier to see if the issue is with a particular batch.

3. Before using a pouch, fill it with water or hold it up to strong light to check for leaks. Make sure it dries thoroughly before use.

4. Report every faulty pouch to Coloplast. The more complaints they receive, the more likely they are to investigate and fix the manufacturing problem.

5. Request reimbursement from Coloplast for any clothing or items damaged by leaks.

6. If private complaints do not lead to a resolution, consider escalating the issue publicly. Posting photos and descriptions of the defective pouches on Coloplast’s social media pages can help draw attention to the problem.
