ABSTRACT:
An ostomy system in which a third element is employed to absorb pressure when an ostomy pouch is mechanically secured to a body side portion adhesively secured to the body. The third element is a split-ring which can be secured around a body side rib coupling member. The split-ring includes an edge portion that fits in a groove in the outer rib wall and includes an angled outwardly projecting rim so that one or more fingers can be inserted between the rim and the body side surface while the pouch is coupled. Following coupling of the pouch, the split-ring can be removed to leave a two-piece ostomy system in place on the body.
