Product Description
The Parthenon Company Incorporated K-Gum Karaya Powder is a premium grade ostomy solution formulated specifically to safeguard and repair the sensitive peristomal skin surrounding a stoma. Made from natural karaya gum, this high quality hydrocolloid powder provides exceptional skin care properties by interacting with bodily moisture to create a sticky, gel like protective layer. It is designed for individuals managing an ostomy who experience open, raw, or denuded skin that requires immediate relief and stabilization. By effectively absorbing excess fluids from weepy or irritated areas, this powder allows the damaged skin to dry and heal before the application of a medical baseplate or appliance. Using this natural barrier helps reduce discomfort, prevents further skin breakdown caused by digestive enzymes, and establishes a clean, dry surface that improves the adhesion and longevity of your ostomy pouching system.

Ans: Karaya powder is a natural hydrocolloid used to protect irritated or denuded skin around a stoma. It absorbs moisture from raw, weeping areas and creates a gel-like barrier that promotes healing and allows the ostomy baseplate to adhere properly.

Ans: Yes, this product is specifically designed for open, raw, or weepy skin. It excels at managing moisture in compromised areas, creating a protective crust that shields the skin from stoma output.
Q3. Does this powder affect the adhesion of the ostomy pouch?
Ans: When used correctly, it improves adhesion. By absorbing fluid and drying out weeping skin, it creates a suitable surface for the skin barrier to stick, though excess loose powder should always be brushed away before application.

Ans: Yes, Rudra Retails sources this product directly from authorized suppliers in the USA. It is imported in its original packaging to ensure Indian consumers receive 100% authentic medical-grade ostomy supplies.
