This is the Stoma Collar that fits snug around the Stoma, but you have to order the right size. My size is 29mm, which is part number DC29 from Salts.

Hey Iggie, sorry for the dumb question, but what is the purpose of this thing?

How has this product performed? Looks to help reduce the need for paste and stoma putty rings. Is the clear material soft on the stoma and not restrictive? Have you had any issues of output getting behind the seal?

MeetAnOstoMate website turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I say this because, for me, this ostomy journey was a devastating event both physically and mentally.
Here, I found folks who understood my feelings even better than my family or friends could. Only a fellow ostomate can understand how you really feel.
Information sharing is key, as well as support and understanding, to ultimately bring more harmony into our ostomy life journey. I found here, virtually no ostomy questions that are not touched upon. Questions which some might feel, may be too trivial to contact a doctor about or even too shy or embarrassed to ask their own doctor about. They are all addressed here.
For me, anonymity was very helpful in seeking answers to each phase of this life changing medical and mental event. Sharing initial trauma feelings, ongoing support and finally acceptance was what I found with my membership here. I am not sure what my mental and physical attitude would be today without having found this site.
Additional benefits included: finding products and ideas to help with daily maintenance, innovative ideas and as a bonus - some great humor.
After all “laughter IS the best medicine”.
I have been a member for 3 years, an ostomate for 4 years - yes, I certainly wish I would have found it immediately after surgery but so very thankful I finally found it when I did as I truly believe it turned my troubled depression and situation into a more positive attitude and acceptance.
Sincerely,
An Ileostomate nicknamed Justbreathe 🫶🏼

It's a sealing washer with a very soft collar and it directs the flow forward and away from the stoma, and if you get the right size it will eliminate leaks. I think it's a very good product. Give it a go. Measure the diameter of the stoma and then order it by that size. My stoma is 29mm in diameter so the item I get is "Salts Part Number DC29". They will send you a sample to try.

A convex ostomy skin barrier can help prevent output leakage and skin issues. Unfortunately, some misconceptions about convexity may keep people with ostomies from using it.

That does sound like a good idea but I guess you'd have to have a perfectly round stoma, which I don't. Mine is a kind of uneven oval in shape, so unless you can mold those things, I couldn't use it. Salts do make some great products though.
