ConvaTec's Stomahesive Stoma Powder helps to safeguard the fragile, exposed skin around the stoma, absorbing any excess moisture and forming a gel that hardens into a crust. In doing so, it helps keep the skin dry and alleviate any irritation.
How to use?
Before applying your ostomy appliance to your body, use Stomahesive powder as a form of protection. It will absorb any moisture, lengthen the wear time of the device, and can help raw and weepy skin. Keep in mind that this powder does not work as an adhesive. An old technique known as crusting, which involves dabbing powder onto the skin, followed by a protective spray or wipe, can be used. It is not a surefire way of ensuring healthy skin around the stoma, but it is worth trying for those who have difficulty keeping their peristomal skin healthy.
