Abstract: An adhesive wafer for attaching a waste collecting pouch to a body includes a backing layer, a skin-facing adhesive layer, and an absorbing adhesive layer. The skin-facing adhesive is liquid impermeable and has a water absorption capacity less than 8 weight % and a moisture vapor transmission rate (MTVR) at least as high as 150 g/m2/24 h. The absorbing adhesive layer is disposed between the backing layer and the skin-facing adhesive layer. The absorbing adhesive layer has a water absorption capacity at least as high as 15 weight %.

Abstract: A body waste collecting device comprising an adhesive composite that fastens a collecting bag to the skin is disclosed. The adhesive composite is highly moisture resistant while still being water absorbing. The adhesive composite comprises at least three layers, a backing layer, a moisture absorbing layer and a thin layer of vapor permeable, low-absorbing adhesive layer.

Abstract: A wafer adapted for use with an ostomy appliance includes a backing layer, an adhesive layer applied to the backing layer and providing an adhesive surface, and a liner system disposed over an entirety of the adhesive surface. The adhesive surface includes a mid-section. The liner system includes a first side liner placed on a first lateral side of the mid-section of the adhesive surface, a second side liner placed on a second lateral side of the mid-section of the adhesive surface, and a third middle liner having folded edge portions and covering the mid-section of the adhesive surface.

Abstract: A layered adhesive construct includes a backing layer and a layer of a pressure sensitive, hot melt processable adhesive composition. The adhesive composition includes a polar plasticizing oil or a combination of polar plasticizing oils in a content above 10% (w/w), and 10-50% (w/w) of a polar polyethylene copolymer. The polyethylene copolymer has a melt flow index below 2 g/10 min (190° C./21.1N), and the polar plasticizing oil is a liquid rosin derivative, animal oils and derivatives, esters, ethers, glycols, poly propylene oxide, or alpha-butoxy-polyoxypropylene.

Abstract: An ostomy appliance for attachment to the stoma body comprising a soft adhesive wafer (1) having a tensile strength at 20% strain of less than 0.75N/4 mm and a collecting pouch attachable to an adhesive wafer, the wafer comprises a backing layer and a skin-facing adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive skin-facing surface of the wafer is provided with at least two release liners (3, 4) each covering at least a part of the adhesive surface and together covering the entire adhesive surface.
