Finding the right ostomy pouching system can be a game-changer for those living with a colostomy, urostomy, or ileostomy. This is especially true for ostomates with flush or retracted stomas, which are common but can pose challenges like pouch leakage, skin irritation, and other difficulties. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Convatec’s new Esteem Body™ Soft Convex Ostomy Pouches, specially made to adapt to your unique body and stoma.

Esteem Body™ Soft Convex Ostomy Pouch Options
The new Esteem Body™ Ostomy Pouching System line offers three primary options to fit a range of needs: drainable, closed, and urostomy.
Learn more about each option below.
Soft Convex One-Piece Drainable Pouch with Window
The Esteem Body™ Drainable Pouch, available for those with a colostomy or ileostomy, offers a modern 8-shaped pouch that helps reduce bulging and sagging as it fills.
The gray colostomy bag’s water-repellent, soft fabric keeps it discreet under clothing, even when wet. This clever design ensures the pouch remains visually discreet, so you can have some peace of mind and confidence whether you’re at home, at work, socializing, working out, or traveling.
Soft Convex One-Piece Closed-End Pouch
For those who prefer the simplicity and convenience of a closed ileostomy bag, the Convatec Esteem Body™ Soft Convex One-Piece Closed-End Pouch is a great option.
With gold-standard adhesives that help stop skin irritation before it starts, you can feel confident that your skin barrier stays secure until you’re ready to change out your closed pouch for another.
Do you have liquid output? The superior Durahesive® skin barriers are designed to provide a secure seal and extended wear time by swelling or “turtlenecking” around your stoma for a secure, snug, and comfortable fit. Plus, its modern 8-shaped design helps ensure a streamlined appearance and discretion, even under light-colored clothes.
Soft Convex One-Piece Urostomy Pouch
If you live with a urostomy, you know the challenges commonly faced with other urostomy bag options. As your pouch fills, you may notice sagging or bulging. Not with the new Esteem Body™ Soft Convex One-Piece Urostomy Pouch!
The modern opaque gray design conceals your pouch contents, and its top-quality adhesives maintain proper adhesion around your stoma while protecting your skin. Also, a secure tap is located at the bottom of the pouch for convenient emptying as needed. This tap is compatible with the Convatec Night Drainage System for continuous, no-hassle overnight drainage while you sleep.
What are the Benefits of a Convex Ostomy Pouch?
If your stoma is flush to the skin or retracted below the skin surface, a convex pouch can help in several ways.
The dome-shaped barrier design can apply gentle pressure around your stoma, creating a more consistent and secure seal. This is also helpful for ostomates with uneven skin surfaces, folds, or creases around their stoma.
If you live with a flush or retracted stoma, a convex ostomy pouch option may help reduce the risk of pouch leakage while also promoting a better output flow.
Talk to your prescribing doctor or an ostomy nurse who can help you determine whether a flat or convex skin barrier may be right for you. 180 Medical’s friendly, knowledgeable Ostomy Specialists are also here for you every step of the way. We can help you measure your stoma and try out samples. Plus, we can guide you through finding the right size and convexity level for achieving your best pouch fit.
