Ostomy pouch waste channel accessory

An accessory device to assist in emptying contents of an ostomy pouch, the accessory device comprising:

• a conduction structure providing a channel for conducting the contents from the ostomy pouch onto a surface of a water layer in a toilet bowl when the ostomy pouch is being emptied;
• and
• a support structure for stabilizing the conduction structure without requiring that a user hold the support structure during the emptying procedure,
• wherein a length of the conduction structure is such as to terminate above a top surface of the water layer in the toilet and is predetermined such as to at least reduce a splash caused by waste material exiting a bottom opening of the conduction structure onto the water layer of the toilet bowl, meaning that the length of the conduction structure is predetermined so that any residual splash of the contents of the ostomy pouch exiting the bottom opening of the conduction structure onto the water layer occurs only in a surface region of the toilet bowl that will be cleaned by flushing water when the toilet is flushed,
• wherein cross-sectional dimensions of the channel are constant throughout the length of the conduction structure, and
• wherein the accessory device is portable, meaning that it is small enough to be hand held so that it can be carried by a user in public without being noticed, while also being convenient, meaning that the support structure permits the user to use both hands for squeezing out the contents of the ostomy pouch rather than steadying the accessory device during the emptying procedure.

A kit, comprising:

• a conduction structure providing a channel for conducting waste material from the ostomy pouch into a toilet bowl when the ostomy pouch is being emptied, the conduction structure configured to attach to a support structure that will stabilize the conduction structure without requiring that a user hold the support structure when the ostomy pouch is being emptied, wherein cross-sectional dimensions of the channel are constant throughout a length of the channel and wherein a length of the conduction structure is such as to terminate above a top surface of the water layer in the toilet and the length is predetermined so as to at least reduce a splash caused by waste material exiting a bottom opening of the conduction structure onto a water layer of the toilet bowl, meaning that the length of the conduction structure is predetermined so that any residual splash of the contents of the ostomy pouch exiting a bottom opening of the conduction structure onto the water layer occurs only in a surface region of the toilet bowl that will be cleaned by flushing water when the toilet is flushed;
• and
• at least one support structure that can be selectively attached to the conduction structure for emptying the ostomy pouch,
• wherein the kit is portable, meaning that it is small enough to be hand held so that it can be carried by the user in public without being noticed, while also being convenient, meaning that the support structure when attached to the conduction structure permits the user to use both hands for squeezing out the contents of the ostomy pouch rather than holding or steadying the conduction structure during the emptying procedure.
