Alginate stoma bags help keep skin drier and more comfortable

Introducing Alginate

Alginate-infused skin protection designed to absorb up to 1.5 times more fluid* for improved moisture management.

Unora’s Alginate baseplate is formulated with 15% alginate, a naturally derived ingredient known for its moisture absorbing, soothing properties. As it absorbs fluid, it forms a soft, elastic gel that adapts to the skin surface - supporting comfort, adhesion and peristomal skin integrity.

Our convex and flat Alginate ranges are available in closed and drainable bag options, in beige and selected black styles, making them suitable for both colostomy and ileostomy users.

*Based on standardised laboratory testing showing up to 1.5 times higher absorption compared with our standard hydrocolloid materials.

Alginate technology

Alginate-infused hydrocolloid technology

Enhanced absorption supports the management of excess moisture and may help to maintain skin integrity and consistent adhesion. Alginate closed and drainable stoma bags are suitable for patients with active lifestyles, perspiration-prone skin, or moist peristomal environments.
