A urinary collection device includes an outer surface and a generally fluid-permeable core that communicates fluidically with an aspiration tube. The outer surface includes an obverse opening to allow urine to flow into the fluid-permeable core when the device is positioned supralabially. On the reverse may be an actuatable fastener configured to retain the device in a reverse-folded intralabial position. In this manner the device may be placed supralabially or intralabially for urine collection as appropriate. The core may include a first knit fabric layer and a second knit fabric layer joined by a plurality of fibers, the fibers being oriented generally to extend from an obverse to a reverse position to thereby result in flow channels through the core.

A substrate based skin contact material formed from a hydrocolloid having a silicone based component extending over regions of the substrate surface. The adhesive is formed non-continuously over the substrate to provide areas devoid of adhesive to allow appreciable moisture transfer between the skin and substrate and improve the skin friendliness of the material during use and allow convenient removal with avoidance of skin irritation.

Disclosed is a complementary-material element (22) attachable to a base plate (24) of an ostomy appliance (20) and including a first entity (30) and a second entity (32). The entities comprise different material compositions. The material composition of the second entity comprises a neutralizer which is released from the complementary-material element in response to moisture, thereby neutralizing the damaging effects of stomal output.

An ostomy appliance includes a waste collection bag that is molded to form a front wall that continuously extends to form both a side wall and a rear wall. The rear wall is spaced apart from the front wall when the waste collection bag is empty. A bottom of the waste collection bag is defined by a curved bottom wall that continuously extends from both the front wall and a rear wall. The waste collection bag is formed to include a longitudinal curvature within at least one of the front wall and the rear wall, and a connector is integrally molded into the rear wall of the waste collection bag around a waste inlet.
