Convatec Stomahesive Protective Powder 1oz/28g

Why Choose ConvaTec Stomahesive Protective Powder

Peristomal skin that is moist from output exposure, weeping from contact dermatitis, or macerated from prolonged adhesive contact cannot hold an ostomy barrier effectively — wet skin surfaces prevent the barrier's hydrocolloid adhesive from achieving the dry-skin bond it is designed to form. This creates a progressive problem: leakage exposes more peristomal skin to output, which causes more skin breakdown, which makes barrier adhesion harder to achieve, which leads to more leakage. Stomahesive Protective Powder interrupts this cycle by absorbing surface moisture from compromised peristomal skin — the sodium carboxymethylcellulose base draws moisture into the powder particles, creating a dry surface that the barrier adhesive can bond to. Applied lightly and the excess brushed away before barrier placement, the powder dries the skin surface sufficiently to restore meaningful adhesion even when the underlying skin is weeping or moist. This approach — powder first, then barrier — is the standard ostomy clinical protocol for managing acute peristomal skin breakdown, often combined with barrier film to create a sealed surface. Stomahesive powder works directly within the ConvaTec product system, compatible with Durahesive and other Stomahesive-based barriers. Apply lightly — excess powder impairs rather than improves adhesion. Use under stoma care nurse direction.

Key Features

✔ 1oz / 28g compact bottle for ostomy care kit and travel

✔ Used as part of standard peristomal skin breakdown management protocol

✔ Apply lightly and remove excess before barrier placement

Benefits

✔ Interrupts the leakage-skin breakdown-adhesion failure cycle on compromised peristomal skin

✔ Restores barrier adhesion on skin that wet conditions would prevent bonding

✔ Compact 28g bottle is convenient for daily use and travel

✔ Compatible with ConvaTec Stomahesive and Durahesive barrier systems

✔ Standard clinical tool for acute peristomal skin management under stoma nurse direction

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Moist or weepy peristomal skin from output exposure or contact dermatitis

✔ Macerated peristomal skin where adhesive fails to bond to wet surfaces

✔ Acute peristomal skin breakdown management in combination with barrier film

✔ Ileostomy users with frequent leakage causing progressive peristomal skin damage

✔ Any peristomal skin condition where moisture impairs barrier wear time

Usage & Care

Apply a light dusting of Stomahesive Protective Powder to the affected moist or weepy peristomal skin area. Brush or gently pat away excess powder — only a thin layer should remain. Apply barrier film over the powder layer if directed by the stoma care nurse. Apply the ostomy barrier immediately. Do not apply thick layers of powder — excess powder prevents barrier adhesion rather than supporting it. Consult a stoma care nurse for peristomal skin breakdown management protocol and appropriate barrier selection during skin recovery.
