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.

An adhesive wafer for an ostomy device, the wafer comprising a skin-facing adhesive layer, a backing layer on a part of the non-skin-facing side of the adhesive layer, and a hole for accommodating a stoma. On the central portion of the wafer is located a release layer being configured to release a neutralizer. The release layer is in direct contact with the adhesive layer. The neutralizer is capable of neutralizing or at least minimizing the level of skin or adhesive aggressiveness of the output.

A body side member of an ostomy appliance having a distal surface with one or more pockets holding a manipulable material and allowing the manipulable material to be shifted between a first position and a second position in the pocket in use of the body side member around a stoma of a user.

An ostomy device includes a nonwoven element having a water-soluble component and a releasable material. When the ostomy device is applied to a user and stomal output contacts the distal surface of the nonwoven element, the water-soluble component dissolves and releases the releasable material from the nonwoven element to neutralize at least one of enzyme activity and pH of the stomal output.

A faceplate assembly for an ostomy pouch system including an invertible stoma collar is provided. The invertible stoma collar protrudes toward a stoma and defines an inlet opening. The invertible stoma collar is formed from a flexible material having an elastic memory, such that the stoma collar hugs the stoma as the stoma is received through the inlet opening, and becomes inverted. The inverted stoma collar has a tendency to regain its original shape, and thus, applies sufficient pressure to seal around the stoma without strangulating the stoma.
