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.

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 biodegradable odor barrier film for ostomy, continence and bowel management applications includes a barrier layer comprising at least about 90% wt. polyglycolic acid. The biodegradable odor barrier film provides excellent mechanical and odor barrier properties desired in ostomy, continence and bowel management applications.

A urinary system is used to excrete the contents of the large intestine, small intestine and urinary bladder through the stoma after colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy and makes the involuntary excretion occurring in the stoma voluntary and is connected to the bottom adapter adhering to the skin such that it will isolate the stoma in the excretory region of the user's abdominal wall.
