We disclose a method of providing a user or a healthcare worker with an ostomy device that is shape-adjustable to conform to skin around a stoma associated with a bulge or a hernia. The ostomy device is configured to invert from a storage configuration to a use configuration by inverting a substantially convex shape of a proximal side of a base plate to a substantially concave shape and stabilizing the base plate in the use configuration by contacting the inner radial periphery of the reinforcing structure with a distal surface of the base plate.

Method of providing an ostomy device that is shape-adjustable to conform to a bulge or a hernia associated with a stoma

An adaptable ostomy base plate comprising a flexible top film, having a first section and a second section, and having at least a first elastic skin-friendly adhesive on a proximal surface of said flexible top film, a stoma-receiving through-going hole defining an inner boundary in said first section, said first section being adjacent to and extending radially from said through-going hole and said second section surrounding said first section defining an outer boundary of the base plate, and one or more release liners, the base plate has a substantially convex shape for initial engagement with a peristomal skin surface and can be inverted to a substantially concave shape to fittingly engage to a topography of the peristomal skin surface and the second section of the base plate is in the form of a plurality of petals extending away from the central area; and a plurality of bridges, each bridge formed between adjacent petals of the plurality of petals.

Ostomy device

An ostomy wafer includes a stoma receiving hole formed through an adhesive layer and a backing layer of the ostomy wafer and has a central area formed as a continuous band of material around an entire perimeter of the stoma receiving hole. An outer periphery of the wafer is formed by a plurality of petals connected to and extending away from the central area, and a plurality of bridges is provided formed between adjacent petals of the plurality of petals. A thickness of the adhesive layer measured within one of the plurality of bridges is greater than a thickness of the adhesive layer measured within one of the plurality of petals.
