Why Mechanical Click Coupling for 2-Piece Systems

The SenSura Click mechanical coupling system uses an audible "click" to confirm secure attachment between pouch and baseplate, eliminating guesswork and providing immediate confidence that the connection is secure. This mechanical lock is more reliable than adhesive-only coupling, especially for active users or those with dexterity challenges. The 2-piece design allows users to change pouches multiple times throughout the baseplate's 3–5 day wear period without removing the skin barrier, protecting peristomal skin from repeated adhesive trauma while maintaining security and convenience.

Usage & Application - Patient Guidance

For 2-Piece Ostomy System Under Healthcare Provider Direction: This pouch is designed to attach to SenSura Click baseplates as instructed by your healthcare provider or ostomy nurse. Proper training ensures safe, effective use of the 2-piece system.

Understanding the 2-Piece System:

• Baseplate (skin barrier): Adheres to peristomal skin, worn 3–5 days
• Pouch: Attaches to baseplate, changed as needed (daily or multiple times daily)
• Benefit: Change pouches without removing baseplate, protecting skin

Initial Baseplate Application:

• Apply clean SenSura Click baseplate following ostomy nurse instructions
• Ensure baseplate is securely adhered and coupling ring is clean and dry
• Wait 30–60 seconds after baseplate application before attaching pouch
• Press baseplate firmly to ensure good adhesion before adding pouch weight

Attaching the Pouch:

• Ensure baseplate coupling ring is clean, dry, and free from output
• Hold pouch with coupling ring facing the baseplate coupling
• Align the two coupling rings carefully
• Press pouch ring firmly onto baseplate ring
• You should hear and feel an audible "CLICK" confirming secure attachment
• Gently tug on pouch to verify secure connection
• If no click is heard, remove and reattach until click confirms lock
• Run finger around entire coupling to ensure complete seal

Verifying Secure Attachment:

• Listen for audible click during attachment
• Feel for tactile confirmation of lock engagement
• Perform gentle tug test to confirm pouch won't separate
• Visually inspect coupling ring to ensure complete connection
• If uncertain, remove and reattach until confident

Removing the Pouch:

• Empty pouch completely before removal when possible
• Support baseplate with one hand to prevent pulling on skin
• With other hand, press release tabs on coupling ring
• Gently separate pouch from baseplate in downward motion
• Dispose of used pouch in appropriate waste receptacle
• Clean coupling ring on baseplate if continuing to wear
• Attach fresh pouch immediately or apply closure cap

Changing Schedule:

• Baseplate: Change every 3–5 days or when adhesive loosens
• Pouch: Change daily or multiple times daily as needed
• For drainable pouches, empty when 1/3 to 1/2 full
• For closed pouches, change when full or at scheduled intervals
• Always change pouch if coupling shows signs of wear or damage

Coupling Ring Care:

• Keep baseplate coupling ring clean and dry between pouch changes
• Wipe with dry tissue or soft cloth if output contacts coupling
• Do not use water or cleaning products on coupling ring
• Inspect coupling for damage, cracks, or wear at each pouch change
• Replace baseplate if coupling ring is damaged

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

• No audible click: Remove pouch, inspect both coupling rings, ensure proper alignment, press firmly
• Pouch detaches easily: Check coupling for damage, ensure baseplate adhesive is secure
• Difficulty attaching: Ensure coupling rings are clean, dry, and properly aligned
• Output leaking at coupling: Verify click confirmation, check coupling seal
• Skin irritation: May need baseplate change, consult ostomy nurse

Skin Care:

• Change baseplate every 3–5 days as recommended
• Inspect peristomal skin at each baseplate change
• Clean skin gently with warm water only
• Pat completely dry before applying new baseplate
• Report any redness, irritation, or skin changes to healthcare provider

When to Contact Healthcare Provider or Ostomy Nurse:

• Persistent coupling detachment or connection issues
• Skin redness, irritation, or breakdown around stoma
• Stoma bleeding beyond slight spotting during cleaning
• Change in stoma size, color, or appearance
• Output leaking between coupling and baseplate
• Coupling ring damage or wear
• Difficulty manipulating coupling mechanism
• Questions about proper attachment technique
