Flair Active® Xtra

Simply peel and flush – Welland Medical’s latest flushable innovation!

 

Simply astonishing, Flair Active® Xtra offers more than a new pouch; it offers a new lifestyle. After using it just once, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!

‘The new flushable pouches are quite remarkable, I can’t find anything bad to say about them…’ (K.F – Norwich)

How does using a flushable pouch improve your life?

Being out and about, away from home, brings with it a number of challenges. Where do you dispose of your pouch? Delayed at an airport? At a friend’s house? In a restaurant? Shopping? The easy answer is, Flair Active® Xtra.

Flair Active® Xtra is about natural living, allowing a discreet, quick and hygienic disposal of your pouch, completely in private. Less time is spent worrying and more time is spent on enjoying the best things in life!

A BIG environmentally friendly step forward 

The biodegradable inner liner and flange makes Flair Active® Xtra the ‘greenest’ option among ostomy pouches.

Our extensive and independent testing shows that the inner liner and flange, when flushed, starts to break up and begin the process of biodegrading as soon as it enters the main system. As a result, less waste ends up in landfill sites thereby helping to protect the environment.

What makes Flair Active® Xtra different from Welland’s other flushable pouches

Flair Active® Xtra has been designed to be:

• Quick to use
• Discreet
• Hygienic
• Environmentally friendly

And the action which separates the inner liner (complete with flange) from the outer cover, ready for flushing, couldn’t be easier! It is as straight forward as opening a yoghurt!

Where can I dispose of my flushable pouch?

Flair Active® Xtra is flushable in any toilet system that takes toilet tissue paper. This includes:

• Portaloos
• Sceptic tanks
• Aeroplane toilet systems
• Vacuum extraction systems
• High rise flat toilet systems
• Single flush Siphonic systems

Setting the standard for all colostomy pouches!

Flair Active® Xtra is Welland’s latest flushable innovation. The pouch is made up of the identifiable features of the Flair Active® range, but with a new system to remove the outer cover from the inner liner and flange.

The action which separates the inner liner (complete with flange) from the outer cover, ready for flushing, couldn’t be easier! It is straight forward and can be completed in just 2 steps.

2 step method to remove the outer cover

Support the flange with one hand and with your other hand pull the release tab in a downward movement. ‘As easy as removing the lid from a yoghurt pot’.

This will leave the inner liner and flange on your skin. Peel these off together and flush away. Then, pop the outer cover into any bin of your choice.

Other benefits of the new range

Clear and easy to follow cutting guide

Welland’s established Hyperflex® hydrocolloid provides consistent adhesion with unsurpassed care for vulnerable skin. The softness and flexibility of the Hyperflex® and the clear cutting guidelines allow it to be easily cut to size and conform and adapt to the body.

Reduced ballooning and odour with the new improved filter

Reduced ballooning is achieved through utilising the latest in laser technology, a reassuringly accurate process which ensures a clear, clean cut of the Dual-Carb® filter every time one is made; allowing gas to disperse at a natural rate, whilst effectively managing all types of odour.

Super softness against the skin with Welland’s soft comfort layer

The soft comfort layer, a visually appealing pouch covering, offers exceptional comfort against the body, even during extended wear. The material is quick drying which helps prevent perspiration build up whilst making it an ideal choice when swimming or bathing.

Moreover, greater discretion and enhanced confidence is achieved through combining the new soft comfort layer and Welland’s quiet film.
