ABSTRACT:
For use with one piece and two piece ostomy devices, the adapter is situated on the adhesive-coated body side of the dressing which attaches to the skin surrounding the stoma to mount the collection pouch. The adapter includes a substantially rigid, annular member with a convex surface and an annular adhesive wafer. The wafer overlaps the edge of the member exposing a portion of the adhesive surface. The wafer and member are protected by a plastic shield. The wafer and member are applied to the body side of the dressing, with the convex surface of the member adjacent the wafer, as they are removed from the plastic shield. The exposed adhesive surface of the wafer directly contacts the adhesive of the body side of the dressing to form a secure bond. The result is a dressing with a convex shaped body side having a substantially uninterrupted layer of adhesive.
