Zusammenfassung:	An ostomy appliance having an appliance wall of flexible sheet material forming a cavity for containing a stomal output. The wall has a stomal inlet for receiving the stomal output and a gas vent for allowing the stomal gas to migrate out of the cavity. A filter arrangement is mounted to the appliance wall and has a filter channel extending from a filter channel inlet to a filter channel outlet. The filter channel inlet is located in the cavity for receiving the stomal output from the cavity and the filter channel outlet is mounted in communication with the gas vent for allowing stomal gas to migrate out of the filter channel to the gas vent. A separation element extends along the filter channel for maintaining the filter channel in an open configuration along part of the filter channel for allowing stomal gas to pass therethough.
