Stoma cleaning wipes are used to clean the skin around a stoma during ostomy pouching system changes. They may help remove output, mucus, urine, light residue, or other debris from peristomal skin before applying a new ostomy wafer or skin barrier.
Some stoma cleaning wipes are also formulated to help remove ostomy adhesive residue, while others are intended mainly for cleansing. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm the wipe formula, alcohol-free or no-rinse design, ingredients, adhesive-friendly use, and compatibility with the ostomy pouching system being used.
