Exploring Coloplast Sensura Mio Pouches for Ileostomy

This topic is about exploring the Coloplast SenSura Mio pouches that are specifically designed for people with ileostomies. These pouches, identified by part numbers like 12243 and 11443, feature a narrower drain spout and a filter tailored for ileostomy output. The discussion includes experiences and feedback from users who have tried these products. Here are some insights and advice shared by the community:

1. **Filter Performance**
- There is curiosity about whether the ileostomy-specific filter works differently compared to the standard SenSura Mio filter.
- The ileostomy model has a narrower outlet and a modified filter with fewer pin-holes, which some users find reduces ballooning.

2. **Closure Style & Emptying Techniques**
- Some users find the self-adhesive or "Velcro" closure challenging when emptying large volumes, especially while seated.
- Others appreciate the hard-plastic end that flips over the outlet, making the process easier.
- A few prefer using a container to empty the pouch, which helps control the flow and reduce mess.

3. **Filter Preferences**
- Some users opt for pouches without a filter due to issues with clogging or ineffectiveness.
- The modified filter in the ileostomy-specific pouches may help reduce ballooning, though experiences vary.

4. **Product Identification & Variants**
- The standard SenSura line comes in tan bags, while the SenSura Mio line is grey.
- The standard Mio Click pouch is PN 11472, and the ileostomy-specific version is PN 11473.
- Users have successfully paired the Hollister Adapt O-Ring 8805 with the Mio Click 11472 for a better seal and longer wear time.

5. **Skin & Wear-Time Management**
- A nine-day wear time was achieved using the Mio Click 11472 with the Adapt O-Ring 8805, and skin issues were managed with topical Nystatin.
- A secure seal is crucial for long wear, and experimenting with different rings, convexity, and wafer types is recommended to find the best fit.

6. **Sampling & Ordering Tips**
- Coloplast customer representatives are expected to provide samples that match the user's specific needs. If ileostomy pouches are not included, they should be requested explicitly.
- Persistence in trying different samples is encouraged to find the ideal combination for adhesion, comfort, and minimal skin issues.
