BodyFit Technology is our new innovation platform within ostomy care. The knowledge that no two bodies are the same is at the core of our thinking and drives us on in our quest to design and develop solutions that can fit securely and comfortably to any body shape. We call this human-centric innovation.

Human bodies share the same basic form but vary infinitely in terms of size and shape. What’s more, bodies don’t remain constant. We lose weight, or put it on. Our stomachs can bloat, our muscles contract. We move around, often vigorously. For some people, there are also hernias and scarring to consider.

The challenge is made all the more pressing by the knowledge that appliances that don’t fit securely to the body are a major cause of leakage – often the wearer’s biggest concern. By taking our starting point in people’s needs, Coloplast has set out on a journey to develop products that deliver a close fit to the peristomal area.

BodyFit Technology now and in the futureThe BodyFit Technology platform is already having a positive impact. For instance, SenSura Mio features the first elastic adhesive that gives the appliance greater fitting performance. But our work continues. We dedicate all of our R&D resources to the platform, and seek to forge more meaningful connections with the people who use our products and the healthcare professionals who work with them.

By working together we can learn more about the needs and challenges that exist and speed up the development of products and materials that can make a true difference in people’s lives.

People with a stoma should feel at ease every day. Our portfolio offers a range of innovative stoma appliances and accessories that help people living with a stoma feel secure and confident, no matter, who they are, where they are, or what they’re doing.

SenSura® Mio: A secure fit for people with a colostomy
The latest addition to our portfolio, SenSura^® Mio, sets a new standard in fitting performance. Each and every body is different, and people with a stoma often face challenges in finding a product that fits their individual body shape. This is why we developed SenSura Mio with BodyFit Technology^®. Thanks to its unique elastic adhesive, this stoma appliance can fit individual body contours and respond to body movements.

SenSura®: Trust in double-layer security
All SenSura stoma appliances come with a unique double-layer adhesive. A protection layer protects the skin against stoma output, and a skin care layer keeps the skin healthy by absorbing excess moisture.  In fact, the DialogueStudy demonstrates that the combination of evidence-based nursing and SenSura double-layer adhesive reduces incidents of leakage, improves peristomal skin conditions and increases quality of life*. See how SenSura reduces costs associated with treating peristomal skin complications.
