An adhesive ostomy wafer has a liner removed to expose adhesive and thus ready the adhesive ostomy wafer for adhesion to a user. The adhesive ostomy wafer includes a backing layer providing a distal surface of the adhesive ostomy wafer that is oriented to face away from skin of the user during use, an adhesive layer deposited onto the backing layer, with the adhesive layer providing a proximal surface of the adhesive ostomy wafer, an opening formed through the backing layer and the adhesive layer, with the opening adapted to fit around a stoma of the user, and a reinforcement structure located between the distal surface and the proximal surface of the adhesive ostomy wafer.

A convex shell for use in a base plate of an ostomy appliance includes an annular ring with a through-going hole and a plurality of grooves extending transversely across the annular ring. The grooves alter the flexibility of the annular ring as a first portion of the annular ring is folded around a folding axis toward a second portion of the annular ring.

Convex supporting device

An ostomy wafer () comprising a proximal surface in an axial direction facing the user during use provided with an adhesive layer (), a distal surface () in the axial direction facing away from the user during use provided with a backing layer, coupling means for attaching a collection bag, an opening having an inner radial boundary defining a stoma receiving opening, and an outer radial boundary defining the peripheral edge of the ostomy wafer. Furthermore, the wafer is provided with a reinforcement structure ().
