Lid for an ostomy implant

A connector for connection to an ostomy implant or to a lid for an ostomy implant, the connector forming an integrated structure disposed generally in a plane and being substantially ring-shaped, the connector comprising:

• (i) an outer part, and
• (ii) an inner part formed from a material more flexible than a material of the outer part, the inner part being configured for sealing engagement with the ostomy implant or the lid;
• wherein the connector comprises a connection surface for connection to a further device;
• wherein the outer part comprises a plurality of tongues, each tongue projecting radially inwardly in said plane and having an inner end;
• wherein the inner ends of the tongues together define an initial opening;
• wherein the tongues are configured to flex resiliently from an original position in the plane of the connector to a deflected position extending out of the plane in response to an external force, thereby enlarging the initial opening during placement of the connector onto the ostomy implant or lid, and to resiliently return to the original position to engage a circumferential groove of the ostomy implant or lid so as to retain the connector in place during use;
• and
• wherein the inner part comprises a flexible sealing portion extending from radially outward of the inner ends of the tongues to radially inward of the inner ends of the tongues, the sealing portion being configured to bend to form a sealing engagement against a circumferential wall of the ostomy implant or lid.
