An ostomy appliance comprising a body side member, an optionally separately exchangeable receiving member or bag secured to the body side member, said body side member comprising a ring-shaped body having an adhesive wafer having a hole for accommodating a stoma and further a separate sealing member which, when in use, is placed in the hole for sealing against the stoma, wherein the separate sealing member has a hole for accommodating the stoma and comprises a mouldable mass of a hypo-allergenic, substantially non-memory putty-like adhesive in the form of a disc, wherein the disc has an outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the hole of the wafer or pad of the ostomy body side member, wherein the disc has a flange member that is supplied with a folding zone that offers a flexible and secure means for sealing between the stoma and the body side member and may be exchanged separately leaving the body side member.
An ostomy appliance comprising a body side member including a ring-shaped body having an adhesive wafer with a hole therein for accommodating a stoma and a separate sealing member which, when in use, is placed in said hole to provide sealing against the stoma, said separate sealing member also having a hole for accommodating the stoma and including a mouldable mass of a hypo-allergenic adhesive in the form of a disc that has an outer diameter smaller than a diameter of the hole of the wafer of the body side member, and a flange member extending from an outer rim of said disc, said flange member having outer dimensions greater than the diameter of the hole of the wafer of the body side member for coupling to the body side member, said flange member including a folding zone having a corrugation that allows eccentric displacement of said disc as compared to said flange member.
An ostomy sealing member comprising a mouldable mass of a hypo-allergenic adhesive in the form of a disc having a hole for accommodating a stoma and a flange member extending from an outer rim of said disc, said flange member including a folding zone having a corrugation that allows eccentric displacement of said disc as compared to said flange member.
A method for placing an ostomy appliance on the abdomen of an ostomate around a stoma or fistula for collecting bodily material emerging therefrom, said ostomy appliance including a body side member having a ring-shaped body with an adhesive wafer with a hole therein for accommodating a stoma and a separate sealing member which, when in use, is placed in said hole to provide sealing against the stoma, said separate sealing member also having a hole for accommodating the stoma and including a mouldable mass of a hypo-allergenic adhesive in the form of a disc that has an outer diameter smaller than a diameter of the hole of the wafer of the body side member, and a flange member extending from an outer rim of said disc, said flange member having a folding zone and outer dimensions greater than the diameter of the hole of the wafer of the body side member for coupling to the body side member, said method comprising the steps of:
