Looking for a One-Piece Pouch with Convex Flange and Velcro Closure

This topic is about finding the right ostomy pouch for someone who has had a total colectomy and now has an ileostomy. The person is looking for a one-piece pouch that features a convex flange and a Velcro closure. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights from others who have experience with these products:

1. Coloplast
- Many people recommend Coloplast's one-piece convex pouches with a Velcro tail.
- Coloplast offers an online tool to assess body shape, which helps in selecting the most suitable products and allows you to request samples directly.
- The Sensura Mio from Coloplast is noted for being particularly gentle on the skin around the stoma.
- Coloplast provides three levels of convexity: soft/light, medium, and deep. Some users have found the soft option to be the best after trying different types.

2. Convatec
- Convatec also offers a one-piece convex system with a Velcro closure.
- Their customer service can help recommend the right model and send samples. You can reach them at 1-800-422-8811.

3. Hollister
- Hollister has a product, #8958, which is a one-piece pouch with a soft convex flange and Velcro tail closure.
- By contacting Hollister, you can receive free samples and assistance with fitting.

4. General Tips
- All three major manufacturers—Coloplast, Convatec, and Hollister—offer free samples. It's a good idea to reach out to their product specialists for advice.
- Since fit and comfort can vary greatly, be prepared for some trial and error when selecting the right convexity depth and pouch style.
