Abstract
The general purpose of the present invention is to provide a new ostomy drainage system, which generally improves on many of the disadvantages of the ostomy devices mentioned above. To attain this, the present invention generally comprises an ostomy bag (or pouch) connected by tubes to a container. The container is then connected via tubes to a vacuum device whereby the contents of the ostomy bag can be suctioned into the container. This prevents the frequent changing of the ostomy bag thereby improving upon the sanitation and convenience of the ostomy patients.
