How to use Adapt Stoma Paste?

1. Wash and dry skin thoroughly
2. Apply a small bead of Adapt Paste at the inner edge of the skin barrier, next to the opening where the stoma will be
3. Let it sit while the user removes the used pouch and cleans and dries the skin
4. Apply additional adapt colostomy paste to uneven areas near the stoma if needed
5. Apply ostomy pouch as usual

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

1. What is Adapt ostomy 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.

2. 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.

3. Do I need to let the paste “set up” before applying my pouch?

   Some people find the paste performs better if allowed to sit briefly before it is applied to the skin. If so, refer to step 1 above.
