Ostomy appliance with floating belt-attachment ring.

摘要

An ostomy appliance (10) in which a collection pouch (11) is provided with an adhesive faceplate (12), that may be equipped with a convex pressure ring (24), and in which a relatively stiff belt-attachment ring (30) is interposed between the pouch and faceplate. Despite the stiffness of the belt-attachment ring and that of the convex pressure ring normally in close proximity to it, the tab connectors (34) of the attachment ring are readily accessible because the belt-attachment ring is supported in a limited "floating" condition by a thin, highly-flexible, annular web (31). The web is secured to both the pouch and faceplate along an inner first sealing zone (18) and joins the belt-attachment ring along a second concentric sealing zone (36) spaced a substantial distance outwardly from the first zone. <IMAGE>
