Why Click Coupling for Urostomy

Urinary diversion requires continuous drainage and night collection, making secure pouch attachment critical. The Click coupling provides audible confirmation of connection while the soft tap and anti-reflux system ensure reliable drainage day and night—delivering attachment confidence with practical urostomy functionality.

Usage & Application

Sizing & Preparation:

• Verify you have a compatible SenSura Mio Click 50 mm barrier already applied
• Confirm barrier has been in place long enough for proper adhesion (typically 30-60 seconds)
• Check that barrier coupling ring is clean and free from urine or residue
• Ensure hands are clean and dry before handling pouch
• Remove pouch from packaging and inspect for any defects
• Verify drain tap is closed before attachment
• Check that night drainage adapter is included if needed

Application:

1. Hold pouch with drain tap pointing downward
2. Align the pouch coupling ring with the barrier coupling ring at 12 o'clock position
3. Place rings together and press firmly around entire circumference
4. Listen and feel for the audible "click" confirming secure attachment
5. Run finger around entire 50 mm coupling to verify complete connection
6. Gently tug on pouch to confirm it's locked in place
7. Adjust pouch position for comfort (drain tap usually angled toward thigh)
8. Ensure drain tap is securely closed before dressing

Understanding Anti-Reflux Design:

• Anti-reflux feature prevents urine from flowing backward toward stoma
• Critical for preventing infection and stoma irritation
• Works automatically—no special operation needed
• Keep pouch below bladder level to assist gravity drainage
• Do not allow pouch to become completely full—may compromise anti-reflux function
• If urine refluxes, check pouch positioning and fill level

Emptying the Drain Tap:

1. Position over toilet or collection container when pouch is approximately ⅓ to ½ full
2. Open drain tap by rotating or pulling (depending on tap design)
3. Allow urine to drain completely
4. You may gently compress pouch from top to assist complete drainage
5. Clean tap opening with toilet paper or tissue
6. Wipe both inside and outside of tap
7. Close tap securely—verify it's completely closed
8. Test closure by gently pressing on pouch
9. Typical emptying frequency: every 2-4 hours during day
10. Empty before bedtime if not connecting to night drainage

Connecting to Night Drainage:

1. Before bedtime, empty pouch completely
2. Attach night drainage adapter to drain tap if not pre-attached
3. Connect night drainage bag tubing to adapter
4. Ensure connection is secure to prevent disconnection during sleep
5. Position drainage bag lower than bed level for gravity drainage
6. Open drain tap completely to allow free flow
7. Verify tubing has no kinks or obstructions
8. Check that anti-reflux feature remains functional
9. In morning, close tap before disconnecting night bag
10. Disconnect night drainage tubing from adapter
11. Empty and clean night drainage bag per manufacturer instructions
12. Wipe adapter clean before next use

Monitoring & Replacement:

• Empty when ⅓ to ½ full to prevent weight strain on barrier seal and maintain anti-reflux function
• Check 50 mm coupling throughout day—should remain secure with audible click
• Monitor for urine leaking under barrier
• Verify anti-reflux is functioning (urine flows down, not back toward stoma)
• Check that drain tap closes securely after each emptying
• Assess MAXI capacity fill level regularly
• Replace pouch when coupling loosens, material wears, tap fails, or when changing barrier
• Two-piece flexibility allows pouch changes without barrier removal (typical barrier wear: 3-5 days)

Pouch Changes (Without Barrier Removal):

• Empty pouch completely, hold barrier steady, push down on coupling to release click
• Peel pouch away from 50mm barrier ring, wipe coupling clean if needed
• Apply fresh pouch following attachment steps and listen for click confirmation
• This allows multiple pouch changes per single barrier

Pouch Removal:

• Empty completely, hold barrier steady, release click mechanism, peel away
• Dispose of pouch, clean barrier coupling if applying new pouch
• If removing entire system, proceed with barrier removal per barrier instructions

Tips for Urostomy Success:

• Empty regularly to maintain anti-reflux effectiveness
• Keep pouch below waist level when possible
• Ensure drain tap closes completely after each emptying
• Connect to night drainage for uninterrupted sleep
• Check coupling security after position changes
• Monitor urine color and characteristics through pouch
• Clean tap thoroughly to prevent odor and blockage
