Hollister Adapt Skin Barrier Paste 2.1 oz Tube | Ostomy Care & Leakage Prevention

Overview

The Hollister 79300 Adapt Skin Barrier Paste is a specialized, caulk-like formulation designed to support ostomy care. It helps smooth away small ridges, creases, and uneven contours around the stoma, creating a more even base before you apply a skin barrier. Because it is not an adhesive, it acts as a filler that works with your barrier rather than sticking to the skin by itself. When used as part of your routine, it can contribute to a more uniform seal that sits close to the skin.

Designed for everyday life, this squeezable tube with the distinctive red cap makes application straightforward, even when you are managing daily routines or small changes. By providing a smoother surface, the paste may help the skin barrier seat more consistently, potentially reducing gaps where drainage could travel. This can be especially helpful if the skin around the stoma has curvature, scar tissue, or irritation.

Real-life situations: before changing an ostomy pouch, apply a small amount to areas that feel uneven. For travelers or busy days, keeping the tube in your kit offers a way to prep the skin quickly when space or time is limited. Remember, the paste is intended as a caulk for gaps, not a glue, and should be used with the proper barrier and skin prep steps described by your clinician.

Hollister has served healthcare professionals and patients for more than a century, combining medical craftsmanship with practical ostomy care. This product reflects the brand's focus on reliable supplies and ongoing support for everyday life, aiming to give you options that feel like a thoughtful addition to your care routine.
