Curvex^®

Who is a Curvex^® pouch suitable for?

The Curvex^® plateau has been uniquely designed to be soft and mouldable with any type of peristomal skin irregularity. It achieves a leak-free fit by conforming gently around or into skin folds, scar tissue, moats or recesses without the need for paste, washers, pressure or a belt.

Curvex^® is Ideal for:
	Ostomates who experience slight leakage from flat flange pouches
	Ostomates who have uneven skin dips, moats or scar tissue surrounding the stoma
	Ostomates who have parastomal hernias
	Ostomates with peristomal recesses due to weight gain or loss, or reduction in abdominal swelling post operatively
	Ostomates who have stomas positioned in a crease or skin fold
	Recessed stomas requiring only light pressure to protrude or which do not need the pressure exerted by conventional convexity products
	Ostomates with a recess only on one side of the stoma
	Ostomates who have poor dexterity and find it difficult to use washers or pastes

Curvex^® should not be recommended for the following people:

1.	Ostomates with deeply recessed stomas requiring substantial pressure to protrude the stoma to ensure a leak-free fit of an appliance
2.	Ostomates with severe management problems due to deep and uneven scars
