1. A convex adapter for use with an adhesive faceplate of an ostomy appliance, comprising an adapter ring formed entirely of a soft shape-recoverable skin barrier material having a convex bodyside surface, a generally planar opposite surface, and a centrally-located stoma-receiving opening therethrough;

  • a removable release sheet covering said opposite surface; and

    a substantially non-stretchable and removable cover film covering said convex surface;

    said barrier material consisting essentially of a continuous phase of an elastomeric adhesive and a discontinuous phase of moisture-absorbing and swellable hydrocolloid particles dispersed therein;

    said removable cover film being sufficiently transparent for revealing said adapter ring therethrough and having a marginal portion extending outwardly beyond the periphery of said adapter ring.
