Invisi-Close Issues with New Convatec Pouches

This topic is about a concern with the new design of Convatec's Invisi-Close ostomy pouch closure. After many years of reliable use, a user has found that the redesigned closure, which now has a smaller attachment area, has been opening unexpectedly. This has happened seven times in six months. When the user contacted Convatec, the company seemed to suggest that this issue is not widespread. The user is curious if others have faced similar problems.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. Some users are not satisfied with the latest Convatec products overall. They suggest trying a different manufacturer if the new Invisi-Close design continues to be problematic.

2. One person recommends going back to Convatec’s older system, which uses a separate plastic clip on the tail. They believe this clip provides a more secure closure compared to the current Velcro-style Invisi-Close.
