How does the Adapt Ostomy work?

This helps to fill in gaps and create a secure seal between the skin and the ostomy appliance. It is applied to the skin around the stoma (the opening in the abdomen), and it helps to prevent leaks, skin irritation, and skin breakdown by providing a smooth surface for the ostomy appliance to adhere to.

How to use Adapt Ostomy Paste?

How do you remove Adapt Paste from the skin?

1. The Hollister adapt paste will come off when the user removes the pouch
2. If the user is changing the pouch after a very short time (less than a day), the user may see paste residue that should be gently lifted from the skin
3. If a small amount of paste residue still adheres to the user's skin but it appears clean, the user can apply the new pouch over it

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Adapt Stoma Paste used for?

The Adapt skin barrier paste is specifically designed to help provide a seal between the skin and the ostomy appliance (such as a pouch or bag) that collects waste. It is typically used in cases where there are irregularities or uneven surfaces around the stoma, making it challenging to create a secure and leak-proof attachment.

Can stoma paste touch the stoma?

No, adapt paste for ostomy should not directly contact the stoma. The paste is intended to create a seal around the stoma, not to be applied directly. The stoma is a delicate and sensitive area; applying the paste directly can cause irritation, discomfort, or injury. Though, Adapt paste will not harm your stoma or cause it to stop draining. As you press your skin barrier into place, you may see the paste filling in the area around the stoma.

Is this paste easy to remove?

Yes, the Adapt Ostomy is easy to remove with mild soap and water. Gently clean the area around the stoma and pat it dry before applying a new barrier paste and ostomy appliance.
