Description
Hollister Adapt™ Stoma Powder is a moisture-absorbing ostomy accessory designed to help protect moist, weeping or irritated skin around the stoma.
The powder absorbs excess moisture from the peristomal skin, helping create a drier surface before an ostomy pouch or skin barrier is applied. This can help improve appliance adhesion while supporting comfortable stoma care.
Its fine powder format makes it easy to apply precisely to areas of irritated or moist skin.

What is Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder used for?
The skin around a stoma can sometimes become moist, sore or weepy due to leakage, irritation or repeated pouch changes.
Adapt Stoma Powder helps absorb this excess moisture and reduce dampness on the skin. By helping create a dry surface, it can make it easier for the adhesive skin barrier to form a secure seal.
The powder is commonly used on small areas of moist or irritated peristomal skin as part of routine ostomy care.
How do you use Adapt Stoma Powder?
Apply a small amount of powder directly to clean, dry peristomal skin.
Gently spread or dust the powder over the moist or affected area, then remove any excess before applying the pouching system.
Only a light coating is usually required. Too much powder may reduce adhesive performance.
The powder should be used on the skin around the stoma only and should not be placed directly inside the stoma.
Always follow the supplied instructions for use and advice from a stoma care nurse.
Who is it suitable for?
Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder is suitable for colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy users who experience moist, weeping or irritated skin around the stoma.
It may be particularly useful where moisture is making it difficult for an ostomy wafer or pouch to adhere securely.
Persistent skin irritation, bleeding, ulceration or recurrent leakage should be assessed by a stoma care professional.
Why choose Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder?
Adapt Stoma Powder offers a simple way to manage excess moisture around the stoma before applying an ostomy appliance.
By helping dry the skin and improve the surface for adhesive contact, it can support pouch security and help reduce further irritation caused by moisture.
