Homepage > Ostomy Pastes and Powders >

Ostomy paste and ostomy powder are skin care products used to improve the fit and seal of an ostomy appliance and protect the peristomal skin.
Ostomy Paste fills in skin creases and uneven areas around the stoma to prevent leakage and ensure a better seal. Ostomy Powder absorbs moisture from irritated or weepy skin, helping adhesives stick better and promoting healing. These products are not adhesives themselves but are used alongside skin barriers to enhance comfort and protection.

At ATC Medical, we offer a trusted selection of medical-grade skin barrier paste and skin barrier powder products suitable for both home and clinical skin and stoma care. These wound-safe formulations are designed to protect sensitive peristomal skin, enhance barrier adhesion, and reduce discomfort during daily use. Available in convenient packaging for easy application, they can be seamlessly integrated into any ostomy system, helping users stay confident and comfortable throughout the day.

What Are Ostomy Pastes and Powders?

Ostomy pastes are soft, moldable stoma pastes or barrier pastes that fill in minor creases, folds, or uneven skin around your stoma. By creating a smooth surface, they allow the pouching system or wafer barriers to adhere more securely, reducing the risk of leakage and prolonging wear time. Pastes also provide gentle protection for peristomal skin, helping to prevent skin irritation caused by friction between the ostomy skin barriers and the skin.

Ostomy powders serve a complementary role by absorbing excess moisture from the skin around your stoma, which is critical for maintaining skin health and preventing adhesion issues. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to irritation, breakdown, or compromised barrier performance. Certain powders also support the healing of minor skin damage, promoting a healthy peristomal environment for optimal pouching system performance.

Benefits of Using Ostomy Pastes and Powders

Incorporating these products into an ostomy care routine provides multiple benefits for both comfort and protection. By enhancing barrier adhesion, pastes reduce the risk of stoma leakage and increase the reliability of pouching systems, giving users peace of mind throughout daily activities. Powders effectively manage moisture, reducing irritation and skin maceration while creating a drier, healthier surface for adhesion.

These products also support wound care and skin and stoma care by minimizing friction and pressure, preventing discomfort, redness, or irritation for active users or those who wear a pouch for extended periods. Skin adhesive products such as Coloplast ostomy paste deliver added security and flexibility.

By creating a smooth, even surface, pastes and powders help extend the lifespan of wafers and other ostomy appliances, reducing the need for frequent changes and promoting healthier skin for more comfortable wear.
