McKesson Ostomy Barrier Powder, 1-ounce Puff Bottle

A pectin-based ostomy barrier powder that absorbs moisture and protects irritated peristomal skin — the essential first step in the "crusting technique" ostomy nurses teach for managing broken or weeping skin around the stoma.

Peristomal skin breakdown is one of the most common ostomy complications. Moist or weeping skin won't hold a pouch seal, and without a seal, the problem gets worse fast. McKesson Ostomy Barrier Powder is the standard tool for breaking that cycle: pectin-based powder absorbs moisture from the irritated area while forming a protective barrier that lets the pouch adhere normally. Used with a skin barrier film, the powder enables the "crusting technique" that wound-ostomy-continence (WOC) nurses rely on for skin recovery.

Specifications

How To Use (Crusting Technique)

Clean and dry the peristomal skin. Apply a light dusting of powder directly to the affected area. Brush off excess. Apply skin barrier film (sold separately) on top of the powder. Allow to dry. Repeat 2–3 times to build up the "crust" before applying the pouch. Consult your WOC nurse or healthcare provider for technique guidance.

Ideal For

• Ostomy patients with peristomal skin breakdown
• WOC nurses and ostomy specialists
• Long-term care with ostomy residents experiencing skin issues
• New ostomates learning to manage skin care

Important Note

If peristomal skin shows signs of infection (warmth, redness extending beyond the immediate stoma area, pus, fever), consult a WOC nurse or healthcare provider promptly. Powder is for moisture and minor irritation management — not for treating infection.

Store at room temperature. Keep puff bottle dry. Compatible with most pouching systems and skin barrier films.
