ConvaTec Natura Stomahesive surgical ostomy system pouch-flange coupling mismatch
ConvaTec Natura Stomahesive ostomy kits contain a 45mm flange but 57mm pouch, creating an incompatible coupling. The mismatch prevents the components from fitting together properly.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving a functional component mismatch that prevents proper ostomy system operation. Ostomy devices are risk-of-harm medical products, and improper fit could lead to leakage and skin complications. No injuries have been reported, but the defect creates significant risk.
