Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coloplast Brava® Powder used for?
Brava® Powder reduces skin irritation related to moist skin. It absorbs moisture so the skin around the stoma is kept dry, and can be used just around the stoma or under the baseplate adhesive.
How do I apply the powder?
Wash and dry the skin around the stoma. Aim the bottle at the area, then gently shake or squeeze it to apply the powder. Spread it evenly, and brush or tap off any excess before applying your baseplate. You can also refer to the video above.
Can I use the powder on broken skin?
Brava® Powder is intended for absorbing moisture on intact skin around the stoma. If the skin is broken, raw or very moist (macerated), please seek advice from your stoma care nurse or healthcare professional.
Is there anyone who should not use the powder?
Brava Powder is non-sterile. Use with caution on premature babies or infants receiving incubator care because of increased infection risk. If you have a weakened immune system, ask your healthcare professional for advice.
Will the powder affect my appliance adhesion?
No. By keeping the skin dry, the powder helps the baseplate adhesive stick properly. Make sure to remove any excess powder before applying the baseplate, as loose powder can stop the adhesive from sticking.
Can I use it at every appliance change?
Yes. It can be used as part of your regular skin care routine whenever the skin around your stoma is moist.
