Ostomy pouching supplies are the main products used to collect stoma output, while ostomy accessories are supplemental products used to support the pouching system. Pouching supplies usually include the ostomy pouch and wafer or skin barrier, while accessories may support fit, skin barrier care, odor control, cleaning, or pouch security.
Examples of ostomy accessories may include barrier rings, stoma paste, stoma powder, ostomy belts, deodorants, adhesive removers, appliance cleansers, skin cleansers, and wipes. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm whether an item is a core pouching system component or an accessory compatible with the ostomy pouch, wafer, or skin barrier being used.
