主权项

1. A device for use with an ostomy appliance, the device comprising:
an opening, surrounded by a substantially cylindrical peripheral wall, to receive a stoma; and a flange part connected to the peripheral wall, which flange part extends substantially perpendicularly away from the opening; wherein an inner surface of the peripheral wall tapers toward an axis of the opening as it extends away from the flange part, and the peripheral wall and the flange part are connected by a curved portion extending in the direction of the axis of the opening, and wherein the peripheral wall is elastically deformable and the inner surface of the peripheral wall, between and including the curved portion and a proximal end of the wall, is configured to elastically deform on engagement with the stoma of the user to provide a fluid-tight adhesive-free seal between the wall and the stoma; and wherein the peripheral wall and the flange are formed as a one-piece component.
