Ostomy pastes and powders are essential products for individuals with an ostomy, designed to enhance the fit and performance of ostomy barriers and appliances.

Ostomy pastes are primarily used to fill gaps or folds in the skin, ensuring a tight seal that minimizes the risk of leaks and skin irritation. They also help extend the wear time of ostomy appliances. Ostomy powders, on the other hand, absorb excess moisture around the stoma, which can be caused by sweat or wound drainage, helping to keep the skin dry and reduce the risk of irritation or breakdown.

What Is Ostomy Paste?
Ostomy paste helps your skin stay healthy and clean. Ostomy skin barrier paste is used as caulking to fill in gaps and creases between your skin and the skin barrier. Ostomy Paste will help even-out the skin surface around the stoma. The paste helps to make a better seal with the pouching system and prevents leakage. If the skin around your stoma is smooth, you should not need any ostomy paste. Some ostomy pastes contain alcohol, producing a burning felling when used on open skin. Ostomy paste should not be used to seal an already leaking ostomy pouch. Ostomy paste is not a leak patch. Instead, replace the pouch.
What Is Ostomy Powder?
Ostomy Powder is used to dry and prepare the skin for an ostomy appliance. Moist skin can be prepped with an ostomy powder to keep the skin dry for skin barriers attachment. Ostomy Powders reduce skin irritation. Only a light dusting of an ostomy skin barrier powder is needed. Some stoma powders can shield naked, sensitive skin from irritating discharge by forming a protective gel like Hollister Adapt.
