We get this question all the time—and it’s a great one.

StomaEase™ is made for G, J & GJ Tubes. It is the only powder on the market designed for ENTERAL Stomas. The brands of ostomy and other stoma powders are designed for very different needs, they promote preparation for adhesion and are NOT designed for skin irritations or stoma leakage. These powders are specifically formulated for use with ostomy bags.

In contrast, StomaEase™ is a targeted solution for enteral tube users. StomaEase™ is designed to help with skin irritations by ensuring the stoma site remains dry by absorbing leakage. Unlike other powders, the StomaEase™ powder holds two to three times its volume with stoma leakage and helps neutralize odors. It simplifies care while enhancing comfort and protection.

Here’s how StomaEase™ stands out:

  • No brushing off—less waste, no mess (ostomy powders require excess to be brushed off)
  • No skin barrier spray needed
  • No crusting technique required
  • Easy cleanup—bentonite clay base leaves no adhesive residue
  • Forms a protective gel plug to absorb moisture and help prevent skin breakdown
  • Safe for frequent reapplication
  • Built-in odor control
  • Tube-safe—won’t interfere with feeding tube function

The StomaEase™ System: Pairing with StomaDisc™ for Superior Stoma Management

If you’re using StomaEase™, we recommend pairing it with the StomaDisc™ for optimal impact. Together, they create a powerful duo that can significantly improve comfort and stoma site management.

So, what is StomaDisc™? Crafted from medical grade material,, the disc helps to keep the powder where it is needed. It actually forms a retention wall inside the StomaDisc™ as the powder absorbs the fluids and expands into a hydrogel keeping it contained.

When used correctly, StomaDisc™ can eliminate the need for gauze and tape entirely. It’s not only more efficient, but also more sustainable—StomaDisc™ is reusable and easily cleaned with just soap and water.
