Our bodies are different, and it is a challenge to create products to fit individual bodies. This is also the case when it comes to premature babies and kids. That is why Coloplast is proud to present two additional and customised SenSura® Mio ostomy care products, SenSura® Mio Baby and SenSura® Mio Kids. Coloplast now offers a full range of ostomy care products to fit everyone and every body profile.

While SenSura® Mio, SenSura® Mio Convex, and SenSura® Mio Concave are designed to fit the individual shapes of adults with regular, inward, and outward body profiles, SenSura® Mio Baby and SenSura® Mio Kids are designed and developed especially for babies and kids.

“While it is uncommon for babies and kids to undergo stoma surgery, we want to make sure those who do have the best possible products. Despite it being difficult to create a great fit for the littlest of users, our latest products do just that,” says CEO Kristian Villumsen, Coloplast.

"As a market leader, we are proud to offer innovative products like SenSura® Mio Baby and SenSura® Mio Kids, which helps these little ostomates live healthy lives and not be limited by their conditions,” says Mr. Villumsen.

New best practice guidelines by stoma care professionals

The SenSura® Mio Baby products aim to provide longer wear time, as especially premature babies have sensitive skin, which needs as much peace and quiet as possible.

The new products include a best practice guideline developed by pediatric stoma care nurses with solid experience with babies and kids living with a stoma.

Red Dot award winner

Both SenSura® Mio Baby and SenSura® Mio Kids have won the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2019. The 'Red Dot' is the award for high quality design, and the international jury grants this seal of quality to products that feature an innovative and outstanding design.

“With the star-shaped baseplate, SenSura® Mio Kids is designed specifically for children’s round bellies. It is exciting to see the innovative SenSura® Mio Baby and SenSura® Mio Kids products being recognised for its design. I believe that these products successfully combine functionality and design – this is design with a purpose,” says SVP of Global Marketing Rasmus Hannemann, Coloplast.

Coloplast continues to expand its SenSura® Mio ostomy range with the new, innovative, first-of-its-kind SenSura® Mio Convex Flip ostomy product.

Designed specifically for the outward body shapes – and the first of its kind in the ostomy market – the new SenSura® Mio Convex Flip is now available in the United States.

All bodies are different, and it is a challenge to create products to fit individual bodies. The SenSura Mio ostomy care portfolio is intended to meet the differing needs of ostomates through its BodyFit Technology®. Flat and convex barriers are common, which the SenSura Mio offers a solution for.

SenSura Mio Convex Flip is a new solution for people with an outward body profile and is the first ostomy appliance designed specifically for those that are overweight, obese, or have parastomal bulges or hernias.

“With the addition of SenSura® Mio Convex Flip, we continue to build out our ostomy SenSura® Mio portfolio to meet more people’s needs. It is difficult to make a great fit for people with outward body profiles, but the curved, star-shaped barrier can do just that. We are confident that this will make a big difference to our users and give Coloplast a strong competitive edge,” says CEO Kristian Villumsen, Coloplast.

Committed to improving outcomes via quality products and life-long patient support

Ostomy care is the 2^nd leading cause of 30-day readmission rates in the United States. Coloplast® Care, a comprehensive patient support program, provides patients with individualized support, education, and tools via a patient-focused advisor. The program has been shown to reduce 30-day readmission rates by 30 percent and ER visits by 45 percent.

“SenSura® Mio Convex Flip provides a new option for those living with an ostomy. By offering a new innovative product that supports the needs of more users, combined with the Coloplast Care program, we not only impact the quality of life for people living with a stoma – we also make a positive effect on health outcomes,” says Senior Vice President Manu Varma, Chronic Care in North America.

Coloplast is the global market leader in ostomy care products, holding 35-40% of the market. Ostomy care products experienced 9% organic growth in 2018, with double-digit growth coming from the United States.
