What is the role of gelatin in ostomy products?

Gelatin is a key component in hydrocolloid adhesives used in ostomy patches. Combined with materials such as pectin and CMC, it provides excellent adhesion and flexibility, creating a soft, moldable seal against the skin. Gelatin also helps in terms of moisture absorption, keeping the affected area dry and reducing irritation. Most importantly, it forms a gentle, protective layer that supports skin health and healing.
