Title:
TO CONTROL BENDING IN A SKIN PLATE FOR USE IN AN OSTOMY APPLIANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/054662
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a convex shell (1) for use in a base plate of an ostomy appliance. The convex shell comprises an annular ring (5) defined by an outer edge (6) and an inner edge (7) defining a through-going hole (8). The annular ring further comprises at least four transition sections (9,10,11,12) extending transversely across the annular ring, dividing the annular ring into at least a first, second, third and fourth segment (15,16,17,18). By changing the characteristics of the convex shell in such sections, it is possible to control the bending of the shell and, as will be described herein, it will be possible to keep the area around the stoma more stable and resistant towards collapsing, while providing improved flexibility in the peristomal area for better comfort.
