Not all convex products are the same

To ensure a convex baseplate can provide a secure and predictable seal to prevent leakage and support peristomal skin health, an expert group of clinicians agreed on 5 key characteristics defining a convex ostomy solution.3 These characteristics work together to conform to the stoma shape, adapt to body movements and apply and distribute the needed pressure on peristomal skin with creases and folds.3

The right balance of depth and slope, determined by the peristomal skin creases and folds and stoma position, is essential to create a mirror image of the peristomal plane and ensure a secure seal.3

Tension Location positioning is key<sup>3</sup>

Tension Location positioning is key3

The size of the convex shell decides tension location – either help the stoma protrude or help flatten creases and folds in the peristomal area.

Tension close to the stoma helps it to protrude above skin level.



Tension further away from the stoma helps to flatten creases and folds in the peristomal skin.

Compressibility & Flexibility in action

Compressibility & Flexibility in action

A more flexible convex baseplate will conform to peristomal contours,
especially around the stoma. A softer convex baseplate compresses more
easily for more flexibility, while a less compressible convex baseplate
provides more stability.3

The combination of adhesive and shell makes SenSura ® Mio Convex unique

The combination of adhesive and shell makes SenSura ® Mio Convex unique

SenSura Mio Convex reduces leakage by providing a secure and reliable seal. It offers a significantly higher contact area † to peristomal body profiles compared to other ostomy products. This is due to the combination of:


A. Elastic adhesive with BodyFit Technology

  • Secure contact to the skin
  • Flexibile fit during movement


B. Convex shell with integrated flexlines


  • Flexibility & Stability

  • Protection of the stoma when moving
  • Stoma protrusion when needed
