Is Coloplast 60 g Paste sticky, and can the base plate be applied after using it?

Asked by Female, 34 · 14 days ago

Yes. Coloplast Paste is slightly sticky and tacky. It is designed to fill skin folds and gaps, not to act as glue. After applying the paste, you can apply the base plate immediately. Gently smooth the paste and avoid spreading it too thick. Press the base plate firmly for good adhesion. If the skin is moist, allow a few seconds before placing the plate. If you have repeated leakage or skin irritation, consult a stoma care nurse or doctor.

Coloplast Paste 60gm is designed to be sticky to help secure ostomy appliances effectively. It acts as a sealing paste to fill in uneven skin surfaces around the stoma, providing a better fit and preventing leaks.

Regarding applying a base plate after the paste, yes, you can apply the base plate over the paste once it is properly applied and shaped around the stoma. The paste helps create a smooth surface for the base plate to adhere to, enhancing the seal and comfort.

Key points to remember:

  • The paste is sticky by design to improve adhesion.
  • Apply the paste carefully around the stoma, shaping it as needed.
  • Allow the paste to set briefly before applying the base plate.
  • Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application to maximize adhesion.

If you have any concerns about skin irritation or appliance fit, consult your ostomy nurse or a specialist doctor for personalized advice and demonstration. They can guide you on the best technique for your specific needs.
