ConvaTec Natura+ InviClose Ostomy Pouch – Clear, 45mm (416416) | Drainable Pouch with Anti Clogging Filter & Clip Less Tail Closure | Box of 10

Product Overview

The ConvaTec Natura+ InviClose Drainable Ostomy Pouch (45mm, REF 416416) is a two-piece pouching system designed for ostomates with smaller stoma profiles. The 45mm (1-3/4 inch) flange accommodates stomas with a diameter of up to approximately 32mm when paired with a compatible cut-to-fit or pre-cut Natura skin barrier. The integrated InvisiClose tail closure eliminates traditional clamps, using a fold-and-lock mechanism with Lock-it Pocket technology for a streamlined, low-profile wear experience.

Constructed from soft, quiet, water-resistant transparent film, the pouch enables clinicians and patients to visually monitor output colour, consistency, and volume without pouch removal. The integrated charcoal filter incorporates an anti-clogging film layer that maintains gas venting performance even in the presence of liquid or semi-formed output. The snap-on coupling system provides audible click confirmation when the pouch is securely attached to the Natura skin barrier flange.

Specifications

Clinical Indications

• Post-operative colostomy or ileostomy management in patients with smaller stoma diameters requiring a 45mm flange system
• Paediatric and adolescent ostomates who benefit from a compact flange profile for improved comfort and discretion
• Visual monitoring of stomal output in acute care, post-surgical, or home-care settings through transparent pouch construction
• Patients requiring simplified pouch emptying without traditional clamp mechanisms, reducing manual dexterity demands
• Long-term stoma care where frequent pouch changes without skin barrier removal help maintain peristomal skin integrity
• Healthcare facilities requiring standardised two-piece pouching systems compatible with the ConvaTec Natura flange platform

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What stoma size is appropriate for the 45mm flange?

A: The 45mm (1-3/4 inch) flange is typically suited for stomas with a diameter of up to approximately 32mm when using a cut-to-fit skin barrier, or matched pre-cut sizes. Stoma sizing should be performed by a qualified Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse (WOCN) or Enterostomal Therapist, particularly in the first 6-8 weeks post-operatively when stoma size may change as oedema resolves.

Q: How does the InvisiClose closure compare to a traditional clamp?

A: The InvisiClose system replaces the external plastic or wire clamp with an integrated fold-and-tuck mechanism. The Lock-it Pocket securely contains the folded tail within the pouch body, reducing profile under clothing by approximately 50% compared to traditional clamp closures. This design also simplifies the emptying process for patients with limited hand dexterity.

Q: Can this pouch be used for ileostomy output?

A: Yes. The drainable design with InvisiClose closure is suitable for both colostomy and ileostomy output. For high-volume liquid ileostomy output, the anti-clogging filter helps maintain gas venting while the drainable tail allows frequent emptying as recommended by the World Council of Enterostomal Therapists (WCET) when output exceeds one-third of pouch capacity.

Q: Is this product available for purchase in Singapore?

A: Yes. ConvaTec Natura+ pouches are distributed in Singapore through authorised medical suppliers including EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd). The product meets HSA (Health Sciences Authority) medical device registration requirements. Healthcare professionals and institutional buyers may contact EMIS for bulk pricing and scheduled delivery arrangements.

Q: How should used pouches be disposed of in Singapore?

A: Used ostomy pouches should be emptied, rinsed, and disposed of in accordance with Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA) guidelines for clinical waste. In home-care settings, pouches may be sealed in opaque disposal bags and placed in general waste. In hospital or clinical settings, used pouches are classified as regulated medical waste and should be disposed of through licensed clinical waste contractors.
