Ostomy
pastes—Packaged in a tube
Comes
in paste form used to fill small defects to create flatter pouching surface
Used
to “caulk” the junction between the skin and the barrier or wafer to reduce
undermining
Most
contain alcohol so better used on intact skin
You
can also apply the ostomy barrier paste on the back of the skin barrier and
allow alcohol to dissipate first before application.
Reference:
Emory University, 2013
Alcohol
may take about 30 seconds to dissipate (personal communication, Hollister
representative, 2014).
Other
brands, example Brava by Coloplast has no alcohol (personal correspondence,
Coloplast representative, 2014)
This is one example of a paste. There are numerous brands out in the market.
