Claims15
An ostomy appliance comprising:
- a base plate attachable to skin of a user around a stoma;
- and
- a complementary-material element comprising a first surface having a first cover layer and a second surface attachable to the base plate, where the complementary-material element comprises a release layer between the first surface and the second surface;
- wherein the base plate has a through-hole for receiving the stoma and the complementary-material element has a cut-out for placement relative to the stoma;
- wherein a peristomal gap is formed between the stoma and the through-hole of the base plate and the cut-out of the complementary-material element when the base plate and the complementary-material element are placed over the stoma during use;
- wherein the release layer comprises a neutralizing component and at least one of moisture contact and stomal output contact with the release layer causes the neutralizing component to be released from the complementary-material element such that the neutralizing component is released into the peristomal gap to neutralize the stomal output and protect the skin around the stoma.
