Pad for use with continent ostomy port
First Claim
1. A pad for use with a continent ostomy port, the pad comprising a body portion having an internal wall defining an aperture appropriately sized to place around a stoma, the body portion of the pad being sized and shaped for placement against a user'"'"'s skin beneath a face plate of an ostomy port, the pad being formed of a soft, flexible material to thereby cushion and protect the skin from contact with the ostomy port face plate, wherein the body portion of the pad has a stepped configuration on a distal surface thereof, the stepped configuration consisting of at least two distinct levels;
- andwherein the at least two distinct levels comprise a first level and a second level, the first level having a perimeter sized and shaped appropriately to readily fit within a perimeter of a face plate lip of a continent ostomy port, and the second level extending parallel to the first level and having a perimeter extending beyond the perimeter of the first level, beneath the lip of the plate, to thereby protect the user'"'"'s skin from friction irritation.
