FAQ

What is Stomahesive Protective Powder used for?

Can Stomahesive Powder be used with a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy?

How do I apply Stomahesive Powder?

Follow the package instructions. Convatec directs users to gently apply a thin layer to the moist area and remove powder that lands on dry skin with a damp cloth. Do not apply it directly to the wafer or baseplate.

Should I apply Stomahesive Powder to all the skin beneath my wafer?

The manufacturer’s directions focus on applying a thin layer to moist areas, not coating all surrounding skin. Powder that lands on dry skin should be gently removed as directed before applying the ostomy system.

What ingredients are in Stomahesive Powder?

Is Stomahesive Powder the same as Stomahesive Paste?

No. The powder is intended to absorb moisture and protect skin. Stomahesive Paste is a separate product used to fill skin folds and uneven surfaces. Choose the accessory that matches your needs and your ostomy care professional’s recommendations.

Does Stomahesive Powder contain latex?

Convatec states that Stomahesive Protective Powder does not contain latex. This does not mean it is free of all potential allergens; do not use it if you have a known sensitivity to the product or its ingredients.

How to Use Stomahesive Powder?  

Use Stomahesive powder to dust onto the skin before placing your ostomy appliance onto your body. It acts to protect the skin by absorbing moisture and extend wear time. Used when peristomal skin is raw and weepy and Stomahesive powder will turn to a gel and slowly dry. Note: it is not an adhesive. Stomahesive powder and ostomy powders can be used to "crust." The crusting technique, in summary, is the process of applying ostomy powder and then dabbing it or spraying with a skin protective wipe or protective spray. Let dry and then apply your skin barrier or 1-piece ostomy system. This technique has been used for decades and is not 100% guaranteed to improve skin health, but is considered a good option for ostomates struggling to improve their peristomal skin.
