MediCross DSA is designed to control the viscosity of discharge fluids within the drainage pouch. This is achieved by the patient inserting a sachet of the product into the drainage pouch when it is being changed. The sachet is designed to fit through the aperture of all devices without difficulty.

Contained in the water soluble sachet there are super absorbent granules in sufficient quantity to gel 450gms of discharged waste materials. The increase in viscosity occurs continually as the pouch receives discharge without increasing the volume of the pouch contents. The superabsorbent solidifying agent is non-toxic with no known skin sensitisation properties from continuous usage.

Application: One Sachet administered during pouch changes

Benefits to Patients

• Reduces pouch expansion and therefore facilitates a better body conformance of the device.

• Reduces the potential for leakage thus increasing patient confidence

• Facilitates the emptying of the pouch in certain circumstances

• Reduces the potential for odour by binding the contents

• Can reduce noise emanating from the pouch during use.
