NAT Inviclse Ostomy Pouch Clear 57 mm Clipless Closure Box of 10

Product Overview

The Convatec Natura+ InvisiClose Drainable Pouch is a two-piece ostomy collection system designed for patients with colostomies or ileostomies producing liquid to semi-formed output. The pouch features the InvisiClose tail closure system, which eliminates the need for traditional clips by incorporating an integrated fold-and-press closure mechanism. The Lock-it Pocket securely conceals the folded tail, giving the drainable pouch the low profile and discretion typically associated with closed-end pouches.

The transparent film construction allows direct visualisation of stoma output for clinical assessment without requiring pouch removal. An integrated anti-clog filter with a multi-layer film barrier manages gas release while preventing liquid leakage through the filter membrane. The pouch body is constructed from soft, quiet materials designed to minimise rustling noise under clothing. The 57 mm flange connects to compatible SUR-FIT Natura and Natura+ skin barriers via the Snap-Lock coupling ring, which provides a series of audible clicks to confirm secure attachment.

• Patients with high-output stomas requiring a filtered drainable pouch to manage gas and odour

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the InvisiClose tail closure over traditional clips?

The InvisiClose system replaces the external clip with an integrated fold-and-press mechanism. The tail folds flat and is secured within the Lock-it Pocket, creating a low-profile closure that lies flat against the body. This eliminates the risk of clip dislodgement, reduces bulk under clothing, and simplifies the emptying process. Clinical feedback from the WOCN Society indicates that clipless closures improve patient confidence and reduce leakage incidents associated with improperly applied clips.

Is this pouch compatible with all Convatec skin barriers?

The 416419 pouch is compatible with all SUR-FIT Natura and Natura+ skin barriers that have a 57 mm (2¼ in) flange. It is not compatible with Convatec Esteem+ one-piece systems or other flange sizes. Ensure the skin barrier flange size (indicated by the red colour code for 57 mm) matches the pouch flange for a secure Snap-Lock connection.

How often should the pouch be changed?

Drainable pouches should be emptied when approximately one-third full to prevent excess weight from compromising the skin barrier seal. The pouch itself can typically be worn for 1 to 3 days before replacement, depending on output volume and personal preference. The skin barrier may remain in place for 3 to 7 days. Patients should follow guidance from their stoma care nurse or enterostomal therapist (ET) regarding individualised change schedules.

Does the filter prevent odour?

The integrated charcoal filter is designed to deodorise flatus as gas passes through the filter membrane, significantly reducing odour. The anti-clog film layer prevents liquid stoma output from blocking the filter. However, the filter is not designed to eliminate all odour during pouch emptying. Convatec recommends using Diamonds deodorising gel drops inside the pouch for additional odour management between changes.

Can this product be purchased in Singapore without a prescription?

Yes, the Convatec Natura+ InvisiClose Pouch is available for purchase through EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies) in Singapore without a prescription. As an HSA Class B medical device, it is available for direct purchase by ostomates and healthcare institutions. Singapore patients may be eligible for partial reimbursement through MediSave for ostomy supplies, subject to prevailing Ministry of Health guidelines and physician documentation.
