Description

Brava Paste by Coloplast is an innovative solution designed specifically for ostomy care. This alcohol-free paste is crafted to enhance the fit between the stoma and the ostomy baseplate or appliance by filling in skin folds, creases, and cavities. Its primary function is to create a secure seal that minimizes leakage and protects the peristomal skin from irritation and breakdown.

Key Features

• Alcohol-Free Formulation: Gentle on the skin, ensuring no stinging sensation upon application, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
• Durability: Highly resistant to moisture, perspiration, and bodily fluids, maintaining its integrity under challenging conditions.
• Strong Adhesion: Provides reliable adherence to the skin, effectively filling uneven surfaces for a dependable seal.
• Moldability: Soft and easily shaped to conform to body contours, offering a personalized and comfortable fit.

Application and Removal

Brava Paste is supplied in a convenient squeezable tube, allowing for precise and user-friendly application. It can be easily removed with lukewarm water and a washcloth, although it may leave a slight oily residue that is safe for the skin.
