Using Coloplast Strip Paste After Wafer Application

And a good evening to all. A recent post has got me wondering. When I had my two operations that ended with an ileostomy, the nurse who was trying to teach me the ropes showed me how to use Coloplast Strip Paste. Now, this went on after the wafer was already on. Question: Is this the norm or were others taught a different way. Enquiring minds (or half a mind) would like to know. Ed

ok describe strip paste. is that the stuff you put on the wafer to help it seal better, sorta like a browny coloured paste that hardens slightly?

Hi Ed, is that adapt paste? When I switched to rings I was told to stop the paste that they replaced paste. If you are using it just for a secure fit the ring should take its place unless the strips are used as a filler. If you do not hace any cavities to fill the ring alone should work using the ring with paste could cause a seal problem. Hope this made sense

Hey Ed, I was pondering on your paste problem, what you could do is wrap it up all pretty like with ribbons & bows and place it under the ole Christmas Tree for a least favorite relative with dentures!

The question was really worth asking. Talk about ideas coming to mind; love that denture idea, could go places with that one. Could always cut small chunks off the ends and paste them on Ken and Barbie dolls. You know, having a bad day for them.

I use the adapt paste and put it on the wafer before I stick it on. I leave about a 5 mm gap from the hole and press it down firmly. On hot days when I,m active and sweating a lot the paste does break down and leak but mostly it sticks, firms up and provides a good seal for 4 - 6 days
