Abstract: In general, the present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing ostomy faceplates configured to be positioned in close proximity to an incision, roll, crease, or fold. Embodiments of the present invention may include an ostomy appliance or faceplate with a non-circular flange for attachment of a bag or pouch. In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, the non-circular flange may include at least one substantially straight edge. The substantially straight edge may comprise a single line, or multiple lines or curves.

Abstract: In general, the present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing ostomy faceplates in proximity to negative pressure wound devices. This may be achieved, for example through the use of an ostomy appliance or faceplate with a non-circular flange for attachment of a bag or pouch. In accordance with some embodiments, this non-circular flange may be substantially “D”-shaped, and/or have at least one substantially straight edge. In some embodiments, the ostomy faceplate may itself be noncircular and/or “D”-shaped; may include a cutting guide for cutting materials used with an NPWD; may contain an asymmetrically located aperture; and/or may comprise one or more tapered edges.
