Soft convex ostomy barrier appliance

Abstract

A convex ostomy barrier appliance for attaching an ostomy pouch appliance to a peristomal skin surrounding a stoma includes a skin barrier and a convex insert attached to a distal side of the skin barrier to define the convexity of the convex ostomy barrier appliance. The convex insert is configured to have a depth, convexity slope, flexibility, compressibility, and a ratio of dome thickness to hoop thickness to provide a desired balance of softness and flexibility while maintaining the integrity of the convex insert when applying pressure against the peristomal skin. A convex insert is also disclosed.
