Convatec Stomahesive Paste

Convatec Stomahesive Paste - 2 oz Tube

Convatec Stomahesive Paste from IndeMedical.com is designed for use in conjunction with Stomahesive and Durahesive skin barrier/wafers in the protection of the skin around the stoma. Stomahesive Paste is not a glue or adhesive. It is used as a filler or "caulking" substance to increase skin barrier wear time by providing a flat pouching surface and helping to prevent leakage under the skin barrier.

Stomahesive Paste Benefits:

• 2 oz. Tube
• Provides optimum seal
• Use as a filler in uneven skin surfaces
• Increases wear-time and protects skin
• Non sensitizing ingredients help prevent irritation
• Use for Colostomy, Ileostomy, and Urostomy
• Apply directly to the skin or to skin barrier

Applying Stomahesive Paste

• Application to Skin Barrier/Wafer (pre-cut or cut-to-fit):
  • Apply a thin bead of paste on the back of the skin barrier around the opening on the adhesive side.
  • Do not spread the paste.
  • Do not apply it to the outer rim of the skin barrier.
  • Center the skin barrier over the stoma.
  • Apply gentle pressure over the entire skin barrier, especially around the stoma to ensure a good seal. The pressure will distribute the paste under the skin barrier and will cause it to rise around the stoma, creating an additional seal.

• Application to Skin:
• To protect skin around the stoma:
• Apply paste directly to the skin immediately surrounding the stoma.
• Apply enough paste to cover any exposed skin between the skin barrier and the stoma.
• To create a level pouching surface:
• Apply Stomahesive Paste directly to the skin where folds, uneven surfaces or scars are present.
• To move or manipulate the paste, wet finger first. Wetting the finger allows movement of the paste, and prevents it from sticking to fingers.
• Center the skin barrier over the stoma.
• Apply gentle pressure over the entire skin barrier, especially around the stoma to ensure a good seal. The pressure will distribute the paste under the skin barrier and will cause it to rise around the stoma, creating an additional seal.

• Stomahesive Paste is easily removed with the skin barrier after it has been in place for 48 hours. To remove the skin barrier from your skin, support the skin with one hand and gently peel the skin barrier away from your skin. AllKare Adhesive Remover Wipes may be used to facilitate skin barrier and/or adhesive residue removal. If not all Stomahesive Paste was removed, use warm water and a soft cloth to remove the remaining paste. It is not necessary to remove all of the paste prior to a new application. The portion that is not easily removed should be left in place, rather than risking irritation to the skin by scrubbing to remove it.
