Ostomy system

An ostomy system, comprising:

• an inner pouch, said inner pouch comprising:
• an inner pouch proximal layer and an inner pouch distal layer, each made of a film material and joined together at their peripheries to define an interior volume,
• a first hole in the inner pouch proximal layer;
• and
• a sealing member different from said film material in either its material composition or its thickness dimension or both, said sealing member being connected to or integral with said film material and said sealing member having a second hole therethrough that substantially aligns with the first hole of the inner pouch proximal layer, such that the sealing member and the inner pouch proximal layer are attached to each other to form distal and/or proximal attached portions adjacent to inner edges of their respective second and first holes that are connecting with said interior volume,
• said inner pouch configured to receive waste matter from said patient when sealingly attached around a stoma of the patient;
• a stationary ring;
• and
• a movable ring hingedly connected to said stationary ring, said movable ring being movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration,
• wherein in said closed configuration said movable ring and said stationary ring cooperate suitably to grasp said distal and/or proximal attached portions of said inner pouch proximal layer and said sealing member between said movable ring and said stationary ring suitably to form a seal;
• such that there is no grasping of said film material between said movable ring and said stationary ring without said sealing member also being grasped at the same place between said movable ring and said stationary ring.
