CONVATEC 183910 SQU183910 Stomahesive Paste

Works great if you apply it right next to, around stoma in pencil diameter size. Apply Skin Prep first, then Stomadhesive, (this) then gently & evenly press down around stoma so Stomadhesive flattens a bit to seal around stoma. Prevents leaks that leak down between stoma and wafer and frequent wafer changes. Only complaint is the tube is too small for the $.

I tried adapt, which is what seems to be the hospital standard. I was leaking ALL the time. So, I tried this product. It is not only more secure, but easier to work with.

It's messy should be a better way to apply it

I've used this paste in the past and it works great with any brand colostomy bag.

So, I have had an ostomy since the end of December 2018. I have tried everything ever suggested to prevent "breeches" of my pouching system.I had been using another brand of stoma paste, but it was messy to apply and even messier to remove. As luck would have it, my insurance didn't cover enough to get me through all of my pouch changes in a month (because I had to use a lot each time to prevent leaks / breeches).I was looking for something to hold me over until I got my next shipment from my ostomy supply company. I remembered that the hospital had convatec stomahesive, so when I saw the price, I HAD to get it.It works so much better than my old adhesive. It also comes off 100x easier and with much less residue.I can't speak highly enough about this product.

This product was used by me after being out of the hospital about a month. I was able to keep the same bag on for 7 to 10 days without leaking, the longest was 14 days. I am not an energetic person but I do alot of walking so I think this extra paste gives longer staying time and use of a waste pouch. Some people change it daily but for me I have to pay for pouches out of pocket. I have no insurance to cover them so the longer the better. This is an excellent product in my mind and have been using it for 2 years now.

Buying it in case of an emergency so I hope I don’t have to use it until it gets close to its due date. If I do use it I’ll let you know about its quality. Otherwise I’m just happy to have it on my shelf and know that I am stocked up.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Melts easily and does nothing to stop leaks.
