Vitala™ Continence Control Device
Introducing security and temporary continence up to 8 hours daily.
Vitala™ Continence Control Device (CCD) is a unique, non invasive pouchless Ostomy Device that allows individuals to manage their colostomy without a belt or irrigation. Indicated for use up to 8 hours, Vitala™ CCD is a single-use, disposable device that is worn together with the ConvaTec SUR-FIT Natura® skin barrier.
Vitala™ CCD functions by sealing against the stoma to prevent the release of stool while permitting gasses to vent through an integrated, deodorizing filter. Vitala™ CCD recommended for use 6-12 weeks after surgery
Benefits:
- Eliminates the need for a pouch for an extended period of time each day
- Minimizes noise and odors that sometimes accompany pouch use
- Discreet low profile helps make the presence of an ostomy less noticeable
INDICATIONS:
The Vitala™ Continence Control Device is a single-use device intended to prevent the release of stool from an end colostomy while allowing any flatus from the stoma to be deodorized and released. To be used with a 1-3/4 in. (45 mm) or 2-1/4 in. (57 mm) ConvaTec SUR-FIT NATURA® skin barrier. Currently, not intended for use with ConvaTec Moldable Technology™ skin barriers or convex products.
