Securi-T USA Pectin Stoma Paste

Securi-T Stoma Paste is a skin barrier that helps seal ostomy wafers and bags. In a perfect world, skin would always be completely smooth and baby soft. Unfortunately, most skin isn't so uniform and even. For those who have a stoma, this has a big impact when using pouches. Wafers help create seals around stomas to prevent leaks from the ostomy pouch. However, uneven skin from scaring can be difficult to seal properly. This increases the chances that the wafer will fail and cause an embarrassing leak. Whether at work, at school, or while running errands, no one needs their day interrupted by an unintended leak. Securi-T USA Pectin Based Stoma Paste prevents leaks by aiding wafers in creating seals on uneven skin surfaces. Stoma paste is closer to caulking, not an adhesive, so it should not replace products like Securi-T Adhesive Barrier Strips. Its purpose is simply to fill holes that wafers can't. This product (Securi-T USA 200000) contains alcohol, meaning it may sting when applied near the stoma. Avoid using it on open wounds or ulcers. Ultimately, proper use of this product will create better seals and longer wear times with ostomy pouches, saving money and the headache of a leak.

How to Use

Stoma paste is best when applied to a wafer. While direct skin application is sometimes necessary for really deep pits in the skin, most of the time applying a ring to the back of the wafer will be sufficient. To apply, squeeze a ring of stoma paste around the inner edge on the back of the wafer. Do not smooth or spread the stoma paste. Wait for about a minute for the paste to dry slightly before placing the wafer around the stoma as normal, keeping the paste between the skin and the wafer. Repeat this process when replacing the wafer.

Material Highlight: Pectin

Pectin is a natural fiber that exists in fruits and vegetables alike. Pectin dissolves in water easily without noticeably changing the consistency of the water. However, when heated then cooled, pectin aligns itself in such a way that it creates a gel. Pectin is rather common as an ingredient in food thickeners and jams/marmalades. It also appears as an ingredient in many dietary products. Pectin is safe for human consumption and is harvested from natural sources. Currently, pectin is manufactured from discarded fruit peels during fruit juice production.
