An adhesive ostomy element comprising a backing layer (3) and having at least a first section (1) and at least a first adhesive (4) on a surface of said backing layer. In the centre is provided a stoma-receiving through-going hole (2) defining an inner boundary in said first section and said first section being adjacent to and extending radially from said through-going hole. At least a part of the portion of the first section is provided with a layer of absorbent foam (7) adjacent the hole. The foam expands towards the stoma when wetted and provides a seal against the stoma.

An ostomy appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an attachment part attached to the skin of a user; a cover assembly part disposed on the top surface of the attachment part and continuously dispensing plastic film into which excrement flows; and a sealing part that is coupled to one side of the cover assembly part and thermally seals a portion of the dispensed plastic film.

A base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance is disclosed, the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part comprising a first adhesive layer with a proximal side configured for attachment of the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part to the skin surface of a user, the first adhesive layer having a stomal opening with a center point; and a plurality of electrodes including a ground electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode, the ground electrode comprising a ground connection part, the first electrode comprising a first connection part, and the second electrode comprising a second connection part; wherein the ground electrode forms a ground for the first electrode and the second electrode.

A base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance is disclosed, the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part comprising a first adhesive layer with a proximal side configured for attachment of the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part to the skin surface of a user, the first adhesive layer having a stomal opening with a center point; and a plurality of electrodes including a ground electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode, the ground electrode comprising a ground connection part, the first electrode comprising a first connection part, and the second electrode comprising a second connection part; wherein the ground electrode forms a ground for the first electrode and the second electrode.

A base plate of an ostomy appliance includes a first adhesive layer and a masking element. The first adhesive layer includes a stomal opening with a center point and a proximal surface configured to be attached to a skin surface of a user. The masking element is arranged on a distal surface of the first adhesive layer and is more insulative than the first adhesive layer. A plurality of electrodes is arranged on the distal surface of the first adhesive layer, where each electrode includes a sensing part and a conductor part. The masking element is arranged between the conductor part of each electrode and the first adhesive layer. The electrodes are formed on a proximal surface of a support layer.

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.
