Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder is a non-medicated powder designed to manage moisture from the skin around a stoma. It helps to absorb moisture from raw or broken skin, which allows for an ostomy skin barrier to adhere more securely. This action helps protect the skin from irritation caused by stoma discharge. The powder is not intended for preventing skin irritation but for managing existing moisture issues.

Moisture Absorption: The powder absorbs excess moisture or exudate from weeping skin around the stoma. Improved Barrier Adhesion: By keeping the skin dry, it helps the ostomy skin barrier to stick properly. Convenient Application: It comes in a user-friendly puff bottle that allows for gentle dusting of the powder onto the skin. Content Visibility: The bottle includes a viewing window to monitor the amount of powder remaining. Latex-Free: The product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for individuals with latex sensitivities.

Q: What is the primary function of Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder?
A: This powder is used to absorb moisture from raw or weeping skin around the stoma, which helps the skin barrier of an ostomy pouching system to adhere more securely.

Q: How should I apply the stoma powder?
A: First, wash and thoroughly dry the skin around the stoma. Apply a small amount of powder to the irritated area, then gently brush away any excess before applying your ostomy pouch.

Q: Does this powder contain any medication?
A: No, Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder does not contain medication. Its function is to absorb moisture, which in turn allows the skin to heal by protecting it from stoma discharge.

Q: Can I use talcum powder instead of stoma powder?
A: No, you should not use cosmetic powders like talcum. They can interfere with the seal of your ostomy pouch, potentially causing leakage and further skin irritation.

Q: When should I discontinue using the powder?
A: You should stop using the powder once the skin has healed and is no longer moist. It is not intended for preventing skin irritation on healthy skin. If the skin condition does not improve, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
