Why Choose SenSura® Mio Light Convex

The elastic adhesive technology stretches and contracts with your body movements—breathing, bending, sitting, standing—rather than pulling away from skin like traditional rigid adhesives. This flexibility reduces edge lift and maintains seal integrity during daily activities. The light convex profile provides gentle, supportive pressure for shallow, irregular, or slightly retracted stomas without the aggressive push of firm convex barriers. The mechanical Click coupling delivers audible and tactile confirmation when your pouch locks onto the barrier, eliminating guesswork about secure connection. The neutral grey textile backing feels soft against skin and looks discreet under clothing, moving away from the clinical plastic appearance of traditional barriers.

Key Features & Benefits

Light Convex Profile:

• Gentle convex shape provides supportive pressure for shallow stomas
• Less aggressive than standard or firm convex barriers
• Ideal for stomas that need some support but not maximum convexity
• Helps slightly retracted or flush stomas protrude for better drainage
• Comfortable for extended wear without excessive pressure
• Bridges gap between flat and firm convex options

Elastic Adhesive Technology:

• Stretches and moves naturally with body contours and motion
• Follows skin movement during breathing, bending, and activity
• Reduces stress on adhesive-skin bond during movement
• Minimizes edge lift that leads to leaks
• More comfortable than rigid adhesives during wear
• Maintains secure seal through daily activities

Mechanical Click Coupling:

• Audible "click" sound confirms secure pouch attachment
• Tactile feedback ensures proper connection
• Visual confirmation—you can see when coupling is fully engaged
• Eliminates guesswork about whether pouch is securely attached
• Confidence in secure connection throughout the day
• Easy to attach and remove pouches

Cut-to-Fit 15-30mm Opening:

• Customize opening for stomas ranging from 15mm to 30mm diameter
• Wide sizing range accommodates most small to medium stomas
• Trim precisely to fit your exact stoma size (2-3mm larger than stoma)
• Single product covers multiple stoma dimensions
• Flexibility for stoma size changes during recovery

Neutral Grey Textile Backing:

• Soft woven fabric feels comfortable against skin
• More breathable than all-plastic barriers
• Water-resistant textile withstands showering and perspiration
• Neutral grey color is discreet under light and dark clothing
• Flexible fabric moves with body better than rigid plastic
• Modern, non-clinical appearance

Integrated Belt Tabs:

• Optional belt attachment for additional security
• Helps stabilize barrier during physical activity
• Useful for users with parastomal hernias
• Provides extra confidence during exercise or work

Clinical Applications

Ideal for:

• Shallow, slightly retracted, or flush stomas needing gentle support
• Irregular or uneven peristomal skin contours
• Users requiring some convex support without aggressive pressure
• Active lifestyles needing flexible, movement-adaptive adhesive
• Stomas between 15-30mm diameter
• Users wanting audible pouch attachment confirmation

Ostomy Types:

• Colostomy (all output types)
• Ileostomy (liquid to formed output)
• Urostomy (continuous liquid drainage)

Common Scenarios:

• Post-operative soft abdomen with slight retraction
• Weight changes causing minor stoma position changes
• Active users needing secure, flexible barrier
• Users transitioning from flat to convex support
• Those wanting modern textile barrier vs. traditional plastic

Light Convex Technology

How Light Convex Works:

The light convex profile creates a gentle dome shape that applies supportive pressure around the stoma base:

• Helps shallow stomas protrude slightly above skin surface
• Creates better drainage angle for output to enter pouch
• Reduces risk of output flowing under barrier edges
• Supports peristomal skin without excessive force

Light vs. Firm Convex:

• Light convex (this product): Gentle, comfortable pressure for mild support needs
• Firm convex: More aggressive pressure for severe retraction

Light convex is the comfortable "middle ground" for users who need more than flat but less than firm convex support.

Elastic Adhesive Technology

How Elastic Adhesive Works:

Traditional rigid adhesives create a fixed bond that can pull away from skin during body movement. SenSura® Mio's elastic adhesive:

• Stretches during movement (bending, sitting, standing)
• Returns to original position without losing adhesion
• Follows natural skin expansion and contraction
• Reduces mechanical stress at adhesive-skin interface

Benefits of Flexibility:

• Reduced edge lift during movement
• Better seal maintenance throughout wear time
• More comfortable during daily activities
• Less skin trauma from adhesive tension

Click Coupling System

How Click Works:

The mechanical Click coupling features:

1. Alignment guides on both barrier and pouch
2. Interlocking mechanism that snaps together
3. Audible click when fully engaged
4. Visual confirmation of secure connection

Advantages:

• Instant feedback—you know it's secure
• No guessing about proper attachment
• Easy for users with limited vision or dexterity
• Simple pouch changes without removing barrier
• Confidence throughout the day

Usage & Application

1. Measure stoma: Use measuring guide to determine diameter (must be 15-30mm range)
2. Cut opening: Cut barrier opening 2-3mm larger than stoma size
3. Prepare skin: Clean and dry peristomal skin completely
4. Remove protective paper: Peel backing from adhesive surface
5. Position barrier: Center opening over stoma with light convex against skin
6. Apply pressure: Press firmly around entire barrier, especially edges; hold 30-60 seconds
7. Attach pouch: Align pouch with barrier coupling and press together until audible CLICK confirms secure connection
8. Verify connection: Gently tug pouch to confirm it's locked in place
9. Optional belt: Thread belt through tabs if additional security desired

Wear Time:

• Typical wear: 3-5 days depending on output type and activity
• Change sooner if leakage, odor, or skin irritation occurs
• Monitor barrier edges daily for signs of erosion

Pouch Changes:

• Remove old pouch by releasing Click mechanism
• Snap fresh pouch onto barrier without removing barrier
• Listen for click to confirm secure attachment
• Change pouches as needed while barrier remains in place
