ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste - Protective Skin Barrier and Filler (56.7g)
GMD15418773218A

ConvaTec Stomahesive Paste is a hydrocolloid-based protective skin barrier. Use as a filler in uneven skin surfaces to help increase ostomy system wear-time and protect skin. Suitable for all types of ostomies and sensitive skin.

Directions For Use:
There are two ways to apply Stomahesive Paste: apply directly to skin barrier or directly to skin.

Application to skin barrier/wafer (pre-cut or cut-to-fit):

• Prepare the skin barrier as described.
• Apply a thin bead of paste on the back of the skin barrier around the opening on the adhesive side. Do not spread the paste. Do not apply it to the outer rim of the skin barrier.
• Center the skin barrier over the stoma. Apply gentle pressure over the entire skin barrier, especially around the stoma to ensure a good seal. The pressure will distribute the paste under the skin barrier and will cause it to rise around the stoma, creating an additional seal.

Application to skin:

• To protect skin around the stoma: Apply paste directly to the skin immediately surrounding the stoma. Apply enough paste to cover any exposed skin between the skin barrier and the stoma.
• To create a level pouching surface: Apply Stomahesive® Paste directly to the skin where folds, uneven surfaces or scars are present. To move or manipulate the paste, wet finger first. Wetting the finger allows movement of the paste, and prevents it from sticking to fingers.
• Center the skin barrier over the stoma. Apply gentle pressure over the entire skin barrier, especially around the stoma to ensure a good seal. The pressure will distribute the paste under the skin barrier and will cause it to rise around the stoma, creating an additional seal.

Removing Stomahesive Paste:

• Stomahesive® Paste is easily removed with the skin barrier after it has been in place for 48 hours.
• To remove the skin barrier from your skin, support the skin with one hand and gently peel the skin barrier away from your skin. Adhesive Remover Wipes may be used to facilitate skin barrier and/or adhesive residue removal.
• If not all Stomahesive® Paste was removed, use warm water and a soft cloth to remove the remaining paste. It is not necessary to remove all of the paste prior to a new application.
• The portion that is not easily removed should be left in place, rather than risking irritation to the skin by scrubbing to remove it.

Caution:

• For external use only.
• Do not apply into an open wound or skin ulcer.
• Contains alcohol.
• Contains biological material of animal origin.
