The present subject matter relates to medical devices for ostomy applications, specifically a floating ring design for securing robust attachment between the flange surrounding a stoma on a patient's body and an ostomy bag. Existing ostomy appliance designs present significant drawbacks related to routine, high replacement cost and poor performance, the latter resulting in anxiety, grief over fear of stool leakage due to rapid, sudden and/or unexpected detachment or mechanical compromise of ostomy appliance components. This further includes discomfort due to the mechanical stresses placed on the subject's body.
