Flexi-Seal^® SIGNAL Fecal Management System

Flexi-Seal™ SIGNAL™ Fecal Management System (FMS) is an indwelling fecal management catheter intended for use to manage fecal incontinence through the collection of liquid to semi-liquid stool and to provide access to administer medications. Flexi-Seal™ SIGNAL™ FMS includes the SIGNAL™ indicator that provides visual indication to help prevent overfilling and a patented blue finger pocket for ease of insertion.

• Proven in vitro to contain the spread of C. difficile and prevent C. difficile from spreading into the environment¹
• The indicator is designed to prevent overfilling of the retention balloon
• Excess gas released through the collection bag filter minimizes the need for frequent bag changes, potentially reducing the aerosolized spread of C. difficile spores^3,4
• The filter also reduces or eliminates the need of manually releasing the excess gas from the collection bag³
• Odour barrier runs the length of the catheter, providing an end-to-end odour barrier²
