2650 Coloplast Paste 60g

This product is a skin barrier paste designed to create a secure seal between a stoma appliance and the peristomal skin. It is formulated to fill uneven contours such as scars, folds, and wrinkles, ensuring intimate contact and preventing leakage of ostomy output. The paste's composition aims to provide a protective layer that shields the delicate skin surrounding the stoma from irritation and damage caused by bodily fluids.

Its application is intended to enhance the adhesion and effectiveness of ostomy barriers, contributing to patient comfort and skin integrity.

The paste functions by conforming to the unique topography of the skin around the stoma. When applied, it molds into deeper cavities and creases, effectively leveling the surface. This creates a smooth and uniform interface, allowing the ostomy barrier, such as a skin barrier or wafer, to adhere more completely.

By filling these irregularities, the paste minimizes potential gaps where effluent could escape, thereby reducing the risk of skin breakdown and appliance dislodgement. The formulation is designed for ease of use, allowing for direct application and shaping around the stoma.

Key features of this product include its ability to create a reliable seal and its formulation that aims to minimize discomfort during application. It is designed to be pliable and moldable, facilitating a precise fit. The inclusion of a tube key is intended to assist with dispensing the paste evenly and to maximize product usage, reducing waste.

Furthermore, the paste has a lower alcohol content compared to some alternatives, which is intended to reduce the sensation of stinging or burning upon application, particularly on compromised skin.

This product is utilized by individuals with ostomies, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals such as stoma nurses and wound care specialists. Patients managing their ostomy at home can use it as part of their daily appliance change routine. Caregivers assisting patients can also employ this paste to ensure a proper seal.

Medical professionals recommend and demonstrate its use to optimize stoma care practices and maintain peristomal skin health.

Typical applications involve the management of various types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies. It is used in conjunction with ostomy skin barriers and pouches to create a complete and secure ostomy appliance system. The paste is particularly beneficial for individuals who have undergone surgery resulting in stomal irregularities, such as retracted stomas, hernias, or significant skin folds, which can otherwise compromise the seal of their ostomy appliance.

It serves as a crucial component in preventing peristomal skin complications.

When using this product, it is important to apply it to clean and dry peristomal skin. The paste should be applied directly around the stoma, filling any depressions or folds. Once the paste is in place, the ostomy skin barrier should be pressed firmly onto the prepared skin, ensuring it adheres smoothly over the paste and the surrounding skin.

Avoid over-application, as excessive paste can sometimes affect the adhesion of the barrier. It is recommended to follow the specific instructions provided by a healthcare professional or the product's accompanying literature for optimal results and to address individual stoma care needs.
