Stoma paste can be applied to the skin around the stoma, to the wafer or skin barrier, or around the wafer opening depending on the product instructions and pouching system. It acts as a caulking or filler product to help fill small gaps, folds, scars, or uneven skin contours.
Application directions can vary based on the paste formula, tube or strip format, wafer style, skin barrier type, and one-piece or two-piece ostomy system. Product instructions, product specifications, and healthcare guidance should be reviewed carefully before use to confirm where and how the paste should be applied with the ostomy pouch, wafer, or skin barrier being used.
