Stoma powder is used to help absorb moisture from moist, weeping, raw, or irritated skin around a stoma. It is an ostomy accessory used on peristomal skin before applying an ostomy wafer or skin barrier.
By helping create a drier skin surface, stoma powder may support wafer or skin barrier adhesion as part of an ostomy pouching system. It may also be used with a skin barrier wipe as part of a crusting technique when directed by product instructions or healthcare guidance.
