<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose an adapter for an ostomy coupling, wherein the adapter provides a floatable coupling characteristic to an ostomy body fitment that has a non-floatable coupling part.SOLUTION: An adapter 26 comprises a first coupling part 34 for attaching to a non-floating coupling part 32 of the body fitment, a second coupling part 36 for releasably attaching to an ostomy appliance 24, and a flexible collar 40 between the first and second coupling parts. The flexible collar permits the second coupling part to be displaced away from the first coupling part, thereby creating a space for an ostomate to manually brace the second coupling part against an attachment force when an appliance is fitted.</p> |
