Adaptable ostomy base plate
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An ostomy base plate attachable around a stoma of a user and provided to allow a waste collecting bag to be attached to and removed from the ostomy base plate, the ostomy base plate comprising:
- a wafer having a hole adapted to be placed around the stoma of the user, and a distal side opposite of a proximal side, with the proximal side of the wafer including an adhesive that extends from an adhesive region around the hole to an outermost perimeter of the wafer, where the adhesive is adapted to secure the proximal side of the wafer to skin of the user around the stoma;
a coupling device provided on the distal side of the wafer and adapted to couple with the waste collecting bag, the coupling device surrounding the hole in the wafer; and
a connecting element having an inner periphery connected to the coupling device and an outer periphery connected to the distal side of the wafer;
wherein the connecting element extends away from the distal side of the wafer to separate a proximal side of the coupling device an offset distance away from the distal side of the wafer;
wherein the proximal side of the wafer is convex such that;
a) the adhesive region around the hole contacts the skin of the user when the hole is placed around the stoma of the user, andb) the outermost perimeter of the wafer is located distal to a distal end of the coupling device to space the outermost perimeter of the wafer away from the skin of the user.

Abstract
Disclosed is an adaptable ostomy base plate comprising a flexible top film (1), at least one elastic adhesive disposed on the top film and at least one release liner, the base plate having at least a first convex section that can be inverted to a concave section to be used for especially demanding skin surface conditions, such as in ostomists suffering from hernia.

8. An ostomy base plate attachable around a stoma of a user and provided to allow a waste collecting bag to be attached to and removed from the ostomy base plate, the ostomy base plate comprising:
-
a wafer having a hole sized for placement around the stoma of the user, and a distal side opposite of a proximal side, with the proximal side of the wafer including an adhesive adapted to secure the proximal side of the wafer to skin of the user around the stoma; a coupling device provided on the distal side of the wafer and adapted to couple with the waste collecting bag; and a connecting element having an inner periphery connected to the coupling device and an outer periphery connected to the distal side of the wafer such that the coupling device is separated by a distance away from the distal side of the wafer; wherein, in a stored configuration, the ostomy base plate has a substantially convex shape relative to the proximal side of the wafer such that an outermost perimeter of the wafer is located distal to the coupling device.
