An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid collection assembly defining an opening. The fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier defining at least a portion of a chamber and at least one porous material disposed in the chamber. The opening and the chamber of the fluid collection assembly are configured to receive at least a portion of a penis (e.g., at least the urethral opening of the penis). The fluid collection assembly also includes a skirt. The skirt is configured to attach the fluid collection assembly to an individual. To facilitate attachment to the individual, the skirt may exhibit a high flexibility. The high flexibility allows the skirt to be comfortably attached to the skin about the penis even when the size and/or topography of the skin about the penis varies and/or changes due to movement of the individual.

In an embodiment of the invention, an ostomy system may comprise a stationary ring and a movable ring, hingedly connected to each other. One of the rings may include a deformable lip usable in creating a seal. The inner pouch may comprise a film material and a sealing member such as a gasket that is grippable between the two rings. The sealing member may be stiff when dry but may quickly become soft upon immersion in water, and may comprise paper material. The outer pouch may comprise a blister or pleat that is flexible and deformable between a compact position and an extended position. The outer pouch may comprise a storage region capable of containing at least one unused inner pouch. The system may comprise a wafer and an outer pouch and an inner pouch as separately replaceable parts.

Disclosed is a base plate, a sensor assembly part and a method for manufacturing of a base plate or a sensor assembly part. The method comprising: positioning a coupling part; positioning an electrode assembly; providing one or more terminal elements; positioning the one or more terminal elements; securing the one or more terminal elements, by securing the distal part of each of the one or more terminal elements to the coupling part and positioning the proximal part of each of the one or more terminal elements to contact respective connection parts of the one or more electrodes, wherein after securing the one or more terminal elements, the terminal element bend of each of the one or more terminal elements forms a second angle, the second angle being less than the first angle.

Disclosed is an ostomy device with an adhesive wafer for attachment to a skin surface of a user and a collecting bag for collecting output from a stoma. The collecting bag is connected to the adhesive wafer, and the adhesive wafer has a through-going hole for accommodating the stoma of the user. The adhesive wafer includes a backing layer, a first switchable adhesive composition (11), a second absorbent adhesive composition (12), and a release liner.
