ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste - Hydrocolloid-based Protective Skin Barrier

Highlights:

• Hydrocolloid-based Protective Skin Barrier: The paste provides a protective barrier for the skin, helping to prevent irritation.

• Filler for Uneven Skin Surfaces: Used to fill gaps or uneven skin surfaces, allowing for better adhesion and longer wear time of ostomy systems.

• Increased Wear Time: By providing a flat pouching surface, it helps increase the wear time of ostomy systems and reduces the risk of leakage.

• Pectin-Based Formula: The paste is formulated with pectin, which is gentle on the skin while providing effective protection.

• Contains Alcohol: The paste contains alcohol, which may cause stinging on sensitive or irritated skin.

• Not an Adhesive: While it helps secure the ostomy system by filling in uneven areas, it is not an adhesive.

Overview:

The ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste is a hydrocolloid-based protective skin barrier that is commonly used by individuals with ostomies to improve the fit and wear time of their ostomy systems. It functions as a filler for uneven skin surfaces, ensuring that the skin barrier adheres securely, reducing leakage, and creating a smooth surface for the pouch to attach to.

While it is an essential accessory for prolonging the wear time of ostomy systems, users should be cautious when applying it to irritated or sensitive skin due to its alcohol content, which may cause a stinging sensation. The paste acts as a "caulking" agent, helping to prevent leakage and ensuring a comfortable, secure fit for the ostomy pouch.
