Abstract
An ostomy pouch appliance (10) formed from a body-side pouch wall (14) and a distal pouch wall (12) includes a filter assembly (22) and a protective panel (20) for protecting the filter assembly. The protective panel is arranged between the body-side and distal pouch walls and joined with the pouch walls along a peripheral seal (15). The protective panel is also intermittently attached to the body-side wall by at least one tack seal (42, 44, 48, 50) and intermittently attached to the distal wall by at least one tack seal (32, 34, 46). The protective panel can be formed from a thermally perforated film including a plurality of openings (26) with a ridge (28) around each opening.
