Abstract
An ostomy device comprises an ostomy bag with a first coupling member attached thereto. A second coupling member for mating engagement with the first is attached to an adhesive backed label for adhering to the skin of the wearer around a stoma by a flexible mounting member comprising first and second sections coupled together at an inner peripheral region defining a stoma aperture therein. The second coupling member is attached to the first section at an outer peripheral region spaced apart for the inner peripheral region by hot melt adhesive while the second section is attached to the label at an outer peripheral region spaced apart from the inner peripheral region. The second section is attached by hot melt adhesive.
