McKesson Skin Barrier Paste, Pectin & Water Based, Hydrocolloid Formula, 2-oz.

McKesson Skin Barrier Paste, Pectin & Water Based, 2 oz

McKesson Skin Barrier Paste is a pectin-based, hydrocolloid ostomy paste designed to fill in the small gaps, creases, and uneven areas around your stoma so your pouching system sits flush against the skin. It's an ideal accessory for anyone with a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy who struggles with an irregular skin surface, scarring, or recessed areas that keep a flat skin barrier from sealing evenly. By caulking these trouble spots, the paste helps create a smooth, level foundation for a more secure, worry-free fit.

Applied around the stoma opening or along the edge of your wafer, this easy-to-apply paste hardens upon application to form an absorbent, protective seal. That seal helps prevent drainage from breaching your ostomy skin barrier, which is a leading cause of leaks and peristomal skin irritation. Because it keeps output away from the skin and reinforces the barrier's grip, the paste also helps promote extended pouching system wear time, meaning fewer changes and greater confidence throughout your day.

The easy-to-squeeze tube with a screw-top lid makes dispensing quick and mess-free, and it reseals neatly between uses. This paste works alongside most one-piece and two-piece systems as a complementary accessory. It is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is ostomy skin barrier paste used for?
A: It fills gaps, creases, and uneven areas around the stoma so your skin barrier or wafer can seal flush against the skin, reducing leaks and protecting peristomal skin.

Q: Is McKesson Skin Barrier Paste the same as an adhesive?
A: No. Think of it as a caulk or filler rather than a glue. It levels out uneven skin and reinforces the seal of your existing barrier rather than holding the appliance on by itself.

Q: How do I apply it?
A: Squeeze a small bead around the stoma opening or along the edge of your barrier, then position your wafer or pouch. The pectin-based, hydrocolloid formula hardens on application to create a protective seal.

Q: Will this paste help my pouch last longer?
A: Yes. By keeping output from breaching the barrier, it helps promote extended pouching system wear time and can reduce how often you change your appliance.

Q: Is it latex-free and FSA/HSA eligible?
A: Yes. This paste is not made with natural rubber latex and is eligible for purchase with your FSA or HSA funds.
