The Esteem synergy® + system features an innovative Adhesive Coupling Technology™. Instead of plastic rings, a foam adhesive securely couples the pouch to the skin barrier's clear plastic “Landing Zone.". The result is a low profile, flexible, secure system, with the convenience of a one-piece and the versatility of a two-piece. Esteem synergy® skin barriers feature Stomahesive® or Durahesive® technologies and are designed to be gentle yet durable to protect sensitive peristomal skin. Pouch allows for draining at bottom.

The Esteem synergy® + pouching system offers the latest technologies from ConvaTec, including:

• A state of the art filter with anti-clogging film layers – these prolong the life of the pouch, keep the pouch flat and virtually eliminate odour
• Soft and quiet materials – these resist water and dry quickly, the shape is streamlined for added comfort and discretion
• The security of the InvisiClose tail closure with Lock-it Pocket^™ – this hides away the flapping tail to provide the security and comfort of a closed end pouch.  The closure has fewer steps so is easier to use

To close the pouch

• Holding the white outlet end strips, roll the end of the pouch up tightly towards you three times until the interlocking InvisiClose^® strips line up
• Press the interlocking InvisiClose^® strips together from left to right in a ‘pinch and push’ motion along the width of the pouch until you feel everything knit together securely
• For added discretion and security, place your thumbs into the bottom corners of the Lock-it Pocket^™ and turn it inside out, as if closing a money bag, to hold the tail closure securely

To empty the pouch

• Un-fold the Lock-it Pocket^™ to reveal the tail
• Undo the interlocking closure and unravel three times
• To make cleaning easier, you can open the outlet of the tail by pushing the sides of the white outlet end strips inwards with your thumb and forefinger
• Wipe around the inner area of the outlet with tissue.  The outlet may be cleaned with gentle soap and water if necessary
