Ostomy appliance cleanser is used to clean compatible ostomy appliances or related supplies, while stoma cleaning wipes are used to clean the skin around a stoma. Appliance cleansers are intended for items such as ostomy pouches, drainage bags, tubing, or other appliance components listed in the product instructions.
Stoma cleaning wipes are used on peristomal skin before applying an ostomy wafer, skin barrier, or pouching system. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm whether a product is intended for appliance cleaning, skin cleansing, adhesive residue removal, deodorizing, residue-free use, or compatibility with specific ostomy or urinary supplies.
