Ostomy appliance cleanser is used to clean compatible ostomy appliances or related supplies, while ostomy deodorant is used inside an ostomy pouch to help manage odor. Appliance cleansers may be used with items such as ostomy pouches, drainage bags, tubing, or other components listed in the product instructions.
Ostomy appliance cleansers may help remove residue, odor, mineral buildup, calcium deposits, or urine crystals from compatible supplies. Ostomy deodorants are typically added to the pouch to help control pouch odor during use or after emptying, depending on the product directions. Product specifications should be reviewed carefully to confirm intended use, appliance compatibility, deodorizing function, dilution or rinsing requirements, and compatibility with the ostomy pouching system.
