Absorbent stomal dressings are protective pads designed to cover urinary or enteric stomas, shielding them from external irritants while absorbing fluids like sweat, waste, or leaks. Their central hole aligns with the stoma, and they adhere directly to the skin or over an ostomy base plate to prevent leakage and skin irritation.
These devices are generally single-use and adhere via pressure-sensitive materials like polyacrylate or silicone. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified based on risk factors such as material composition and intended use, rather than a universal class designation.
