Coloplast Paste 2650 60g

This product is a skin barrier paste designed for ostomy care. It is formulated to create a smooth, even surface on the skin around the stoma, filling in any uneven areas, folds, or scars. By providing a uniform base, it helps to ensure a secure and reliable seal for ostomy appliances, thereby reducing the potential for leakage and protecting the peristomal skin.

The paste is intended for external application and is suitable for individuals managing a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. Its composition aims to offer a comfortable and confidence-inspiring experience for the user by minimizing skin irritation associated with appliance wear and output exposure. The product is supplied in a 60g container.

The mechanism of action for this ostomy paste involves its physical properties to conform to the contours of the skin. When applied to the peristomal area, the paste spreads and adheres to fill irregularities. This creates a level surface that enhances the adhesion of ostomy appliances, such as pouches and wafers.

The barrier it forms helps to shield the skin from direct contact with ostomy output, which can be irritating and lead to skin breakdown. The formulation is designed to be gentle on the skin, making it appropriate for regular use by individuals with sensitive peristomal skin.

Key features of this ostomy paste include its ability to fill skin cavities and folds, thereby improving the fit and seal of ostomy appliances. It acts as a protective barrier, mitigating the risk of skin irritation and damage. The paste is characterized by a smooth consistency that allows for easy application and spreading, which can be beneficial for users who may have limited dexterity or find application challenging.

Its formulation is intended to provide comfort and promote confidence in managing an ostomy. The product is composed of ingredients such as Butyl ester of polyvinyl methyl ether/maleic acid, polysaccharide, ethanol, propylene glycol, Isopropanol, smectic clay, silicon dioxide, vinylpyrrolidone/Vinyl acetate copolymer, water, and preservatives.

This product is utilized by individuals who have undergone ostomy surgery, including those with a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. It is also a valuable tool for healthcare professionals such as stoma nurses, wound care specialists, and general practitioners who advise and manage ostomy patients. Caregivers assisting individuals with ostomy care may also use this paste to ensure proper appliance application and skin protection.

The primary application is the preparation of the peristomal skin prior to the application of an ostomy appliance to achieve a secure and leak-proof seal.

Typical applications involve the daily management of an ostomy. Before applying a new ostomy pouching system, the paste is applied to the clean and dry peristomal skin, focusing on any areas where the skin is uneven or has folds. This ensures that the adhesive barrier of the ostomy appliance can create a complete seal.

It is also used to address minor skin irritations by creating a protective layer. The product is intended for external use only and should be stored in cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight. Users should ensure the product is kept out of reach of children and follow storage recommendations to maintain its efficacy and integrity.
