Triad is a zinc oxide–based hydrophilic paste designed for skin that's exposed to moisture, drainage, or friction — the kind of protection caregivers reach for around pressure areas, peristomal skin, incontinence-related irritation, and shallow wounds with light exudate. Because it's hydrophilic, it interacts with wound moisture rather than simply sitting on top, while the zinc oxide helps shield intact and at-risk skin. It's latex-free and sterile, and comes in a 2.5 oz tube (1964) for targeted use or a 6 oz size (1967) for larger areas or facility use. A common question: how is it different from ordinary zinc paste? The hydrophilic base is formulated to stay in place on damp, weeping skin where standard ointments tend to wash away.

For ostomy wearers, the Ostofresh 2-inch Barrier Ring (TM11001) and Ostofresh Barrier Strips (small, box of 30 — TM12002) help fill uneven skin, reinforce the edges of a wafer, and extend wear time by cutting down on leaks. Rings mold to your stoma and body contours; strips add support wherever a flange needs a little extra grip. Both are moldable and made to work alongside your existing pouching system rather than replace it.
