Convatec's Proprietary Adhesives
Adhesive Technology has Been the Foundation of Convatec Stoma Care and Product Innovations from the Beginning
Skin health is one of the most common challenges following ostomy surgery, with over 30% of patients exhibiting peristomal skin complications within 90 days of surgery.1
The barrier adhesive is the foundation needed to maintain healthy skin. Convatec's range of hydrocolloid adhesive technologies are proven to perform and designed to protect the skin around the stoma.

Leakage isn’t always an isolated event, and it isn’t always obvious.
When leakage and peristomal skin complications recur, it may indicate that the adhesive is no longer performing as needed for the clinical situation. Stronger adhesive bonds can help reduce the risk of leakage and support more consistent performance over time.
Convatec’s hydrocolloid adhesive portfolio is designed to support secure wear and help protect peristomal skin across a range of clinical needs.
One portfolio. Distinct solutions to help build stronger bonds.
Adhesive technologies delivering proven performance for different clinical needs.
