ConvaTec Launches SUR-FIT Natura(R) Low-Pressure Adaptor
Date:10/28/2008

Once tenderness subsides, the SUR-FIT Natura(R) Low-Pressure Adaptor may be removed thus creating a lower profile (closer to the body) system composed of the skin barrier and pouch only. The SUR-FIT Natura(R) Low-Pressure Adaptor will work with any ConvaTec Moldable Technology(TM) skin barrier in flat and convex shapes. The ring, or flange, size of the SUR-FIT Natura(R) Low-Pressure Adaptor must match the ring or flange size of the skin barrier.

"ConvaTec is committed to improving patient care and comfort and we hope that products such as the SUR-FIT Natura(R) Low-Pressure Adaptor decrease the pain and discomfort associated with ostomy surgery," said Pionati.
