eakin Cohesive^® paste

If you have a line or dip in the area around your stoma, a little bit of eakin Cohesive^® paste can really help with each bag change! Have a chat to your stoma care nurse before you use eakin Cohesive^® paste for some more hints and tips.

As much as you need. Think smooth so make sure to use enough to fill the depth or the crease or dip to achieve a smooth surface. Handy hint – use a little spatula or cotton bud/Q tip to carefully apply the paste if you can’t get into the dip with your finger.

You can apply the paste using your finger, gently pushing the gel into the area you need. We often hear ostomates use a little spatula or cotton bud/Q tip to carefully apply the paste if you can’t get into the dip with your finger. If you get it on your finger you can easily remove with a bit of adhesive remover or wash with warm water.

No, as the paste doesn’t contain any alcohol it will remain in a gel like substance – perfect to conform to the shape of your bag too.

All eakin^® products are designed with skin friendliness in mind and eakin Cohesive^® paste is no different. Unlike other brands, this formula has no alcohol in it which could otherwise sting sore skin. As with any new product you are trying, we would suggest a patch test on the skin you are applying it too – just to be sure.

Some people do use a circle of paste around the base of their stoma to prevent leaks, others just use a seal and some people use both as extra protection. It is completely your choice! We would suggest a seal gives a bit more protection as it is designed to absorb output and it’s common for individuals to fill dips with paste but use a seal around the stoma base. Find what works for you and chat to your stoma care nurse too.
