How To Remove Ostomy Paste - Stomahesive Paste, Adapt Barrier Paste and More!

Below is the procedure to remove ConvaTec's Stomahesive Paste!

 

Stomahesive Paste is not a glue or adhesive, but a filler or caulking agent to smooth the area of skin around your stoma to create a flat surface for the ostomy appliance.  It does contain alcohol so it may sting if your skin if it contacts an open wound or skin ulcer.  Stomahesive Paste is one of the most popular ostomy accessories we sell and it works great so long as you know how to remove it!  

 
The removal process is simple and easy.  Just remove the ostomy skin barrier by supporting the skin with one hand and gently peel the skin barrier away from your skin.  Adhesive remover wipes such as AllKare Adhesive Remover Wipes or Smith & Nephew Uni-Solve Wipes are commonly used.  If you don't get all of the Stomahesive Paste removed, used warm water and a soft cloth get the excess.  It isn't necessary to remove all of the paste before a new application of an ostomy appliance. It is better just to leave it than to irritate the skin with scrubbing.

How To Apply Stomahesive Paste To The Skin

Stomahesive Paste can also be applied to the skin around your stoma.  To do so simply prepare the skin as you would normally when putting on your ostomy appliance.  Apply enough paste on the skin to cover exposed skin between the skin barrier and the stoma.  To fill a crevice and create a level pouching surface, apply Stomahesive Paste on the uneven surface, scare or crevice.  Wet a finger and then you can manipulate the paste to better smooth it out.  The water will keep it from sticking to your fingers.  Then apply your ostomy skin barrier over the stoma and apply pressure over the barrier around the stoma.  Pressure will also cause Stomahesive paste to rise up around the stoma for an additional seal.

Stomahesive® Paste Useful Facts

Stomahesive Paste Facts That Can Benefit Every Ostomate

1. Alcohol is a component of the formula in Stomahesive paste and should be noted as it can cause stinging in raw/denuded skin.
2. Stomahesive paste is not an adhesive.  
3. The role Stomahesive paste plays is that of caulk.  It seals the border of the ostomy skin barrier to keep stomal output from contacting the skin.  
4. Using Stomahesive paste can help you get the best fit possible.
5. Stomahesive paste can be used on all types of ostomies.
6. Application is either directly to the skin or on the skin barrier / wafer.
7. Stomahesive paste is pectin based and protects skin as well as fills in uneven crevices to create a flat surface for the ostomy pouch.
8. The amount used to circle your stoma is about equal to the thickness of toothpaste that fits on your toothbrush.
9. Be sure to screw on the cap after using Stomahesive paste because it will harden and be useless if left exposed to air for extended periods of time.

What is Stomahesive® Paste and Why Is Ostomy Paste Something Ostomates Should Consider Using?

 Stomahesive® Paste works with the ostomy skin barrier to protect the skin around the stoma.  Stomahesive® is not a glue or adhesive, but a filler or caulking agent to fill crevices and grooves used to fill uneven areas around the stoma to seal the ostomy appliance.  Stomahesive paste can be used by all types of ostomies (colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies).  It helps you improve ostomy pouch wear time.  Do not apply Stomahesive paste to an open wound or skin ulcer as it contains alcohol. 

Why use ostomy paste?

By properly applying Stomahesive paste skin barrier wear time is increased by creating a flat surface for the ostomy pouch and preventing leakage under the skin barrier. There are several pastes to choose from that are very similar to Stomahesive paste such as: Hollister's Adapt Paste, and Coloplast's Ostomy Paste.  They all contain alcohol and so they may sting on irritated skin.

How to Use Stomahesive Paste - An Ostomy Accessory Guide

ConvaTec's Stomahesive Paste sku# 183910 is probably one of the most common ostomy accessories.  We find that a few people have the wrong idea about ostomy paste in general referring to Stomahesive 183910, Adapt Paste 79300, Coloplast's paste, and Hollister's 7910 Karaya Paste.  Imagine it as caulk for your ostomy appliance which is applied as a bead around the barrier opening.  The ostomy paste is meant to keep stomal output from getting to peristomal skin and minimize irritation.  It is not so much an adhesive and can't be expected to demonstrate great adhering qualities even though it's tacky.  There are two ways to apply Stomahesive Paste, sku# 183910: apply directly to the ostomy skin barrier; apply directly to the skin.  Stomahesive Paste will fill in uneven areas around the stoma to prevent leaks.  It will complement the fit of your ostomy appliance and improve wear time. All ostomies meaning colostmies, ileostomies, and urostomies can benefit from its use.  Keep in mind that it does contain alcohol so it will sting a little on sensitive skin!
