How to Use

1. Before attaching the pouch to the skin barrier, drop 1 or 2 tablets into the empty pouch
2. Attach the pouch as normal
3. As stoma output accumulates in the pouch, the tablet dissolves in the liquid output and begins deodorizing
4. Repeat at each pouch change

Note: DevKo tablets work best when stoma output is liquid or loose. Tablets require contact with liquid to dissolve and deodorize effectively. They are less effective when output is predominantly solid or formed.

Clinical FAQs

Why do DevKo tablets work better for ileostomy users than for colostomy users with formed output?

DevKo tablets are a solid that must dissolve in liquid to release their deodorizing active agents. When output is liquid or loose — as it typically is with an ileostomy, where the small intestine's watery effluent continuously enters the pouch — the tablet dissolves quickly and the deodorant distributes throughout the liquid contents, effectively neutralizing odor. In a colostomy where output is more formed and stool consistency is more solid, there is less liquid in the pouch for the tablet to dissolve in, so the tablet may dissolve slowly or incompletely and the deodorizing effect is reduced. Colostomy users whose output tends toward looser consistency may still find DevKo useful; those with consistently solid output will likely benefit more from a liquid pouch deodorant that does not depend on dissolution, or from a filter-equipped pouch that vents gas before it builds pressure.

What is the advantage of tablet form over liquid ostomy pouch deodorants?

Liquid pouch deodorants require the user to measure a small volume of liquid, introduce it into the pouch through the stoma opening or the drain valve, and avoid spillage during the process. Depending on the liquid's color and viscosity, it can stain clothing, bedding, or the pouch exterior if spilled. The bottle must be carried and stored carefully. DevKo tablets have none of these handling challenges — the tablet is a dry, solid unit that is simply dropped into the empty pouch before it is sealed to the skin barrier, requiring no measuring and producing no spillage risk. For users who find liquid deodorant management cumbersome — particularly those who are older, have limited dexterity, or are frequently away from home — the tablet format offers a simpler, cleaner experience. The trade-off is that tablets require liquid in the pouch to work, so they are only appropriate for output types that produce sufficient liquid for dissolution.

How does the Hollister Adapt Skin Protective Wipe (SKU 7917) in the MDS catalog compare as an ostomy accessory?

These two products serve entirely different functions in the ostomy accessory category. The Hollister Adapt Skin Protective Wipe addresses the external skin surrounding the stoma — it creates a protective polymer film on peristomal skin to reduce mechanical stripping from barrier removal and protect against effluent contact with the skin surface. DevKo tablets address the internal pouch environment — they reduce the odor produced by stoma output within the sealed pouch. Both can be used together as part of a complete ostomy management routine: the wipe is applied to peristomal skin before attaching the pouch; DevKo tablets are dropped into the pouch before attachment. They are complementary rather than competing products.
