NAT Inviclse Ostomy Pouch Clear 45 mm Clipless Closure Box of 10 416416

Product Overview

The Convatec Natura+ InvisiClose Drainable Pouch (416416) is a two-piece ostomy collection pouch designed for patients with colostomies or ileostomies producing liquid to semi-formed effluent. The 45 mm flange variant is suited for patients with smaller stoma diameters (up to 32 mm when paired with the corresponding cut-to-fit skin barrier). The pouch features the InvisiClose tail closure, which replaces traditional external clips with an integrated fold-and-press mechanism that tucks securely into the Lock-it Pocket, achieving the discreet profile of a closed-end pouch while retaining full drainable functionality.

The transparent pouch body allows healthcare professionals and patients to visually monitor stoma output colour, consistency, and volume without pouch removal. The integrated charcoal filter manages flatus through a deodorising membrane, while the anti-clog film layer prevents liquid output from obstructing the filter. Constructed from soft, low-noise materials, the pouch is designed for comfort and discretion under clothing. The Snap-Lock coupling ring connects to SUR-FIT Natura and Natura+ skin barriers with an audible series of clicks confirming secure attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 416416 (45 mm) and 416419 (57 mm) pouches?

The primary difference is the flange diameter. The 416416 has a 45 mm (1¾ in) flange (green colour code) designed for smaller stomas, while the 416419 has a 57 mm (2¼ in) flange (red colour code) for larger stomas. The pouch body, filter, and InvisiClose closure system are identical across both sizes. The flange must match the corresponding skin barrier flange size for a secure Snap-Lock connection. Stoma care nurses should measure the stoma at its widest point and select the appropriate flange size.

How do I empty the pouch using the InvisiClose tail?

To empty: (1) Open the Lock-it Pocket by pulling the tab at the bottom of the pouch. (2) Unfold the tail over the toilet. (3) Gently squeeze the pouch contents into the toilet. (4) Wipe the tail with toilet paper. (5) Refold the tail and tuck it back into the Lock-it Pocket until it clicks into place. The entire process can be completed with one hand, and the integrated closure does not require any additional accessories or clips. Detailed instructions are included in each box, per Convatec clinical guidance.

Is this pouch suitable for swimming or bathing?

The Natura+ InvisiClose pouch and Snap-Lock coupling system are designed to maintain a secure seal during bathing and showering. For swimming, patients should ensure the skin barrier is well-adhered and consider covering the filter with the supplied filter cover sticker to prevent water ingress through the filter membrane. Convatec and the WOCN Society recommend consulting with a stoma care nurse for specific guidance on aquatic activities, as individual factors such as skin barrier wear time and stoma location affect water resistance.

Can I purchase ostomy supplies through EMIS in Singapore?

Yes, EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies) stocks the full Convatec Natura+ range, including the 416416 drainable pouch, in Singapore. The product is HSA-registered as a Class B medical device and is available for purchase without a prescription. Healthcare institutions and home care providers can arrange bulk procurement through EMIS. Individual patients may order directly via the EMIS online store at emis.asia with delivery across Singapore.

What skin barrier should I use with this pouch?

The 416416 pouch requires a 45 mm flange skin barrier from the SUR-FIT Natura or Natura+ range. Common compatible barriers include the Stomahesive Flexible Cut-to-Fit Wafer (REF 125259) and the Stomahesive Moldable Wafer. The barrier type should be selected based on stoma output consistency, peristomal skin condition, and body contour. Patients with semi-formed to formed output are typically suited to Stomahesive barriers, while those with liquid output may benefit from extended-wear formulations. A stoma care nurse can recommend the most appropriate barrier for individual clinical needs.
