About ConvaTec Natura Plus Closed End Pouch with filter, Opaque
The ConvaTec Natura Plus Closed End Pouch with Filter is a one-piece, closed-end ostomy pouch designed for colostomy users who prefer a hygienic, disposable pouching option after each bowel movement. The closed end eliminates the need for draining and resealing — the pouch is simply removed and disposed of after use, making it a convenient and sanitary choice. The built-in filter contains activated charcoal to neutralize and quietly release gas from the pouch, preventing ballooning and reducing the risk of odor. The opaque film provides complete visual privacy by concealing stoma output from view, which many users find more comfortable and discreet. The Stomahesive skin barrier on the body-side adhesive is gentle on peristomal skin and provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal.

ConvaTec Natura Plus Closed End Pouch with filter, Opaque FAQs
What does "closed end" mean?
A closed-end pouch is a single-use, non-drainable pouch. Once it has been used, it is removed from the skin barrier or base plate and disposed of. It is not emptied and reused like a drainable pouch.
Is this pouch suitable for ileostomy use?
Closed-end pouches are primarily recommended for colostomy users who have more predictable, formed output. Ileostomy users typically require drainable pouches due to higher output frequency. Consult your ostomy nurse for guidance.
How does the filter work?
The integrated charcoal filter allows gas to slowly escape from the pouch, reducing ballooning and releasing odor in a controlled, nearly undetectable way.
Which size should I choose — 1-3/4 inch or 2-1/4 inch?
The opening size should match your stoma size as measured by your ostomy nurse or surgeon. Selecting the correct opening size is critical to protecting the peristomal skin from exposure to stoma output.
Can I swim or shower with this pouch on?
Yes. The Natura Plus pouch and Stomahesive barrier are water-resistant and can be worn during bathing or showering. Extended water exposure may gradually affect adhesive performance.
