About Ostomy Accessories and Deodorants
Ostomy accessories are the supporting products used alongside a pouching system. This collection includes stoma paste, moldable barrier rings, stoma powder, ostomy belts and pouch deodorants from manufacturers including Coloplast, Torbot and Austin Medical Products. It is part of our Ostomy Supplies category, alongside one-piece and two-piece pouches and skin barriers.
Each accessory has a distinct job. Paste and barrier rings are used to fill uneven skin contours around the stoma so the barrier sits flat. Powder is applied to moist skin under the barrier. Belts attach to tabs on compatible pouches or barriers to hold the system against the body, and deodorants come as drops, sprays or lubricating gels placed in the pouch or used in the room.
Form and size are the two attributes to compare. Form covers tube versus strip paste, flat versus convex rings, and liquid versus spray deodorant. Size covers ring diameter and thickness, belt length and adjustment range, and tube or bottle volume. Belts in particular are made to fit specific pouch brands, so confirm compatibility with the system you use.
To reorder, use the REF number printed on the box and confirm whether you are buying a single item or a box.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which ostomy accessory or size I need?
Start with what your ostomy nurse or clinician recommended. For barrier rings, match the diameter and thickness to your stoma and skin contours. For belts, confirm the belt is made for your pouch brand and check the length range. For paste and deodorant, choose the form you find easiest to apply.
Are ostomy accessories covered by insurance?
Many ostomy accessories have HCPCS codes, and where one applies it is shown on the product page for reference. Whether a plan covers an accessory, and in what quantity, depends on your payer and plan. ArmadaMeds is a retailer and does not bill insurance, so check coverage and any prescription requirement with your plan.
How do I reorder the exact same accessory?
Look for the REF or catalog number on your current box or tube and search for it here. Confirm the size, such as ring diameter or belt length, and whether the listing is for a single unit or a box. Matching the REF number keeps you on the same manufacturer's product.
