A medical device for use in collecting bodily waste material from a patient. The medical device includes a single pouch having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a waste receptacle defined between the first side and the second side, the waste receptacle adapted to hold the bodily waste material. The medical device also includes a ring non-removably coupled to the single pouch. The ring is reconfigurable between a first configuration, in which the ring is adapted to be attached to an orifice of the patient and defines an aperture that permits access to the waste receptacle, thereby fluidly connecting the waste receptacle to the orifice of the patient, and a second configuration, in which the ring prevents access to the waste receptacle.

Disclosed is abase plate 1 for an ostomy collection device, comprising a cover layer 2 whereon an adhesive layer 3 is at least partly disposed. Immediately surrounding a through-going hole 6, the base plate has an inner area wherein the cover layer extends beyond the adhesive layer in a radial direction toward the through-going hole, thereby providing an overlap 7 protecting the adhesive material from contact with stomal output.

Disclosed is an ostomy bag 1 having an outer rotatable adhesive fitting wafer 15 attached thereto. This offers a higher degree of customization to the user, as the user may cut the adhesive fitting wafer in such a way that it fits to the contour of the skin and the user may also rotate the ostomy bag relative to the wafer in order to achieve a desired orientation of the ostomy bag.
