The topic is about someone considering switching to the Coloplast Sensura Mio convex flange, specifically product number 16481, and they are seeking feedback from others who have used it. Here are some insights and advice from users:
1. For those who have used the 1-piece Sensura Mio Convex Light system (#16481) for about a year, it is noted to be very flexible and provides secure support. The fabric is considered superior, and there has been only one reported incident of leakage.
- However, some users mention that the powerful deodorizing filter can cause pancaking, and not everyone likes the clear plastic "inspection" window beneath the fabric.
2. Regarding supply and samples:
- There are stock shortages in Australia and Germany, and Coloplast is not shipping Mio Convex samples while demand is high.
- To work around this, you can join the Coloplast waiting list, request samples through an ostomy or stoma nurse or therapist, or try other Sensura Mio models until the convex stock is available again.
3. As for alternative Coloplast options:
- The Sensura Mio soft-convex flange (#16716) has received positive feedback for its fit and comfort.
- The Sensura Mio Flex flat 1-piece drainable pouch, when used with Coloplast or Eakin moldable rings, may help seal around dents or creases.
4. In terms of product comparison, users find Sensura Mio bags to be soft and adaptive, though they are slightly firmer than the Eakin Pelican 1-piece appliance.
