Description
ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste is a hydrocolloid-based protective skin barrier and filler for ostomy care. It helps to create a secure seal between the skin and the ostomy appliance, protecting the skin from irritation caused by stoma output. The paste is available in a 2 oz (56.7 g) tube.
Uses and benefits
- Fills uneven skin surfaces: The paste acts as a caulk to fill in gaps, creases, and skin folds around the stoma, creating a smooth and even surface for the ostomy appliance.
- Increases wear time: By creating a secure seal and filling in crevices, the paste can help prolong the wear time of the ostomy appliance.
- Protects sensitive skin: It forms a protective barrier to shield the skin from irritation and breakdown caused by moisture and stoma output.
- For multiple ostomy types: The product is suitable for use with colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy stomas.
- Not an adhesive: The paste contains alcohol and is not meant to be a glue or adhesive. It works in conjunction with skin barrier wafers to improve the seal.
How to use
To apply ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste, follow these steps:
- Apply a thin bead of the paste to the back of the skin barrier or wafer, closest to the opening for the stoma.
- Do not spread the paste. If you need to touch it, moisten your finger first.
- Wait about one minute after applying the paste before continuing.
- Apply the skin barrier and pouch as usual.
