Abstract
An ostomy appliance includes a base plate having an inner radial boundary defining a stoma receiving opening and an outer radial boundary defining an outer edge of the base plate. The base plate has an adhesive layer with a first surface for attaching the base plate to skin surrounding the stoma and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first liquid impermeable layer having a first surface covering the second surface of the adhesive layer. A second surface opposite of the first liquid impermeable layer is provided with a wicking material abutting the inner radial boundary of the stoma receiving opening. The wicking material extends in a radial direction towards the outer edge of the base plate and away from the stoma receiving opening.
