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.

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?

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.

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.
