Coloplast Critic-Aid® Thick Moisture Barrier Paste (6 oz Tube) | 1947

Critic-Aid Thick Paste is a zinc oxide-based skin barrier paste from Coloplast formulated for peristomal skin protection and ostomy care. Its thick, adherent consistency is designed to create a durable physical barrier between the skin and stoma output, protecting intact, moist, or compromised peristomal skin from the enzymatic and chemical irritation caused by colostomy and ileostomy effluent. The 6 oz (170 g) tube provides a larger supply suited for high-use clinical settings, home ostomy programs, and facilities managing ongoing peristomal skin care needs.

Thick Paste for Peristomal Skin Protection

Unlike thinner barrier creams and ointments, Critic-Aid Thick Paste adheres to both dry and moist skin surfaces, including skin that is already irritated or broken down. This makes it particularly valuable in ostomy care, where peristomal skin is frequently exposed to moisture and output before a secure pouch seal can be established. The paste fills in skin irregularities around the stoma, helping to improve pouch adhesion and reduce leakage-related skin breakdown.

Key Features

Appropriate for colostomy, ileostomy, and neonatal applications. Suitable for use in hospital, long-term care, outpatient ostomy clinics, and home care settings. Apply to clean skin around the stoma as part of routine pouch change procedures or as directed by a wound ostomy continence nurse or clinician.
