About ADAPT OSTOMY BARRIER PASTE
Adapt Ostomy Barrier PasteAdapt Ostomy Barrier Paste is a product used to fill uneven skin contours around a stoma to improve the seal of the skin barrier. Here are some key points about Adapt Ostomy Barrier Paste:
- Adapt Ostomy Barrier Paste: This paste is used to fill or caulk uneven skin contours to create a flatter surface. It can help prevent drainage from getting under the ostomy skin barrier and may extend the wear time of the skin barrier.
- Application: Apply a small bead of Adapt Paste at the inner edge of the skin barrier next to the opening where the stoma will be. You can let it sit while you remove your used pouch and clean and dry your skin. Additional paste can be applied to uneven areas near the stoma if needed.
- Safety: Adapt Paste will not harm your stoma or cause it to stop draining. When you remove your ostomy pouch, the paste should come off. If a small amount of paste residue is still adhered to your skin but it appears clean, you can apply your new ostomy pouch over it.
- Ingredients: Adapt Paste contains alcohol, which may cause stinging if not used carefully. However, it is designed to be gentle and minimize discomfort.
- Packaging: Available in 0.5 oz and 2 oz tubes, the product can be purchased individually or in packs of 20.
