Abstract: A waste collection bag adapted for use by a person having a colostomy, an ileostomy, or a urostomy. The waste collection bag has a rear wall, a front wall on an opposite side of the waste collection bag from the rear wall, and a waste inlet formed in the rear wall of the waste collection bag. The waste inlet sized to fit around a stoma that has been formed through skin of the person. At least the front wall of the waste collection bag has a wall color characterized by a color value measured by a CMYK color code system, where the color value is in a range of: M from 0 to 15; Y from 0 to 10; and K from 10 to 25.

Abstract: An ostomy wafer includes a stoma receiving hole formed through an adhesive layer and a backing layer of the ostomy wafer and has a central area formed as a continuous band of material around an entire perimeter of the stoma receiving hole. An outer periphery of the wafer is formed by a plurality of petals connected to and extending away from the central area, and a plurality of bridges is provided formed between adjacent petals of the plurality of petals. A thickness of the adhesive layer measured within one of the plurality of bridges is greater than a thickness of the adhesive layer measured within one of the plurality of petals.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ostomy wafer comprising a central peristomal area surrounding a stoma receiving hole, from which a plurality of petals are extending radially, the petals being interconnected via bridges with a apex pointing away from the central area. The wafer is suitable for application to especially demanding skin surface conditions, such as in ostomists suffering from hernia.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ostomy wafer comprising a central peristomal area surrounding a stoma receiving hole, from which a plurality of petals are extending radially. The outline of the wafer is at least partly provided with an embossed pattern of lines, facilitating better fit to curved body parts. The wafer is suitable for application to especially demanding skin 5 surface conditions, such as in ostomist's suffering from hernia.
