ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste is a protective hydrocolloid skin barrier paste designed to fill uneven skin surfaces and create a secure, comfortable seal around the stoma. By providing a smoother pouching surface, it helps prevent leakage and extends ostomy system wear-time while protecting against irritation, redness, and inflammation.

Formulated with non-sensitizing, pectin-based ingredients, this irritation-free paste is safe for sensitive skin and easy to apply directly on the skin or on the barrier. It is not a glue but rather a filler or caulking agent, designed to enhance the performance of Stomahesive and Durahesive skin barriers. The hydrocolloid formula absorbs moisture, reduces skin complications, and improves overall pouching security.

Features:

• Volume: 2 oz (56.7 grams)
• Hydrocolloid protective paste: Pectin-based formula that protects skin and fills gaps.
• Leakage prevention: Creates a flat, sealed surface to prevent stoma leakage.
• Extends wear-time: Helps barriers adhere longer and more securely.
• Gentle on skin: Non-sensitizing, ideal for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
• Easy application: Smooth, light tan paste in a convenient 2 oz. tube.
• Moisture-absorbing: Keeps the skin dry and reduces irritation.

Ideal For:

• Individuals with flush or retracted stomas.
• Users needing to fill uneven skin surfaces for a better seal.
• Those seeking extended ostomy wear-time and improved pouch security.
• Hospital and colostomy care applications requiring reliable protection.

Application to skin barrier/wafer (pre-cut or cut-to-fit):

• Prepare the skin barrier as described in the Instructions for Use accompanying the wafer.
• 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:

• Prepare the skin barrier as described in the Instructions for Use accompanying the skin barrier.
• 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.

Removing Stomahesive Paste:

• 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.
