Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a package for an ostomy sealing member for sealing around a stoma in relation to an ostomy appliance, said sealing member comprising a hypoallergenic, mouldable adhesive material, said sealing member having an annular periphery and an opening therein for receiving a stoma, wherein the opening is non-concentric with the periphery.

Claims

1. A package accommodating an ostomy sealing member for sealing around a stoma in relation to an ostomy appliance,

said ostomy sealing member comprising a mouldable adhesive material, said sealing member having an annular periphery and an opening therein for receiving a stoma, wherein

the ostomy sealing member is accommodated in a tray portion having a cavity dimensioned for snugly receiving the ostomy sealing member and which is integrally formed with a lid portion for removably closing the tray and with a hinge portion between said try and said lid portions, and wherein

a first release film is provided in the cavity between the tray portion and the sealing member and wherein

a second release film is provided on the sealing member on the side thereof facing the lid portion of the package.

2. A package according to claim 1, wherein a projection extends from the cavity configured for receipt in the opening.

3. A package according to claim 2, wherein the cavity has an outer substantially circular contour and that said projection is substantially circular corresponding to the opening of the sealing member so that said projection is provided non-concentric in the cavity.

4. A package according to claim 1, wherein the package is made of a single polymeric material flexible sheet, which is vacuum-formed to the required package shape.

5. A package according to claim 1, wherein the lid portion is provided with a peripheral outer contour for snap locking over a correspondingly shaped outer contour of the tray portion for releasably closing the package.

6. A package according to claim 1, wherein the lid portion is formed with at least one snap locking closure protrusion, which cooperates with at least one corresponding closure cavity of the tray portion and so that the lid portion releasably closes the package around the sealing member by snap locking the at least one closure protrusion into the at least one closure cavity of the tray portion.

7. An ostomy sealing member for a package according to claim 1, said sealing member being adapted for sealing around a stoma in relation to an ostomy appliance, wherein said sealing member comprises a mouldable adhesive material, said sealing member having an annular periphery and an opening therein for receiving a stoma, wherein the opening is non-concentric with the periphery.

8. An ostomy sealing member according to claim 7, wherein the opening is off-centred from the substantially circular periphery.

9. An ostomy sealing member according to claim 7, wherein the member has substantially uniform thickness.

10. An ostomy sealing member according to claim 7, wherein said sealing member is accommodated in a sealing member cover.

11. An ostomy sealing member according to claim 7, wherein the stoma receiving opening is substantially circular.
