Abstract
An ostomy appliance comprising an adaptor having a distal end adapted to be coupled to an ostomy wafer and a proximal end adapted to be coupled to a cap, said distal end having an opening in fluid communication with an opening in said proximal end.
Claims27
An ostomy appliance comprising:
- a housing having a proximal end and a distal end with a cavity, said distal end adapted for coupling to an ostomy wafer, and said distal end being in fluid communication with said proximal end;
- a sealing element accommodated within said cavity;
- a lid removably attached to said proximal end;
- and
- a collapsed pouch deployable into a waste collection mode through the removal of said lid, said removal actuatable manually or automatically by the pressure buildup inside said ostomy appliance.
2 more elements
A method of using an ostomy appliance attached to an ostomy wafer surrounding a stoma of a user, wherein said ostomy appliance comprises:
- a housing having a proximal end and a distal end with a cavity, said distal end adapted for coupling to said ostomy wafer, and said distal end being in fluid communication with said proximal end;
- a sealing element accommodated within said cavity;
- a lid removably attached to said proximal end;
- and
- a collapsed pouch deployable into a waste collection mode through the removal of said lid, said removal actuatable manually or automatically by the pressure buildup inside said ostomy appliance,
- said method comprising manually removing said lid to deploy said pouch into said waste collection mode to eliminate waste through said stoma.
3 more elements
An ostomy appliance comprising:
- a housing having a proximal end and a distal end with a cavity, said distal end adapted for coupling to an ostomy wafer through a snap-fit arrangement, and said distal end being in fluid communication with said proximal end, wherein said housing comprises an opening fitted with a valve selectively openable by a user for releasing gas flowing from a stoma;
- an annular compressible foam sealing element accommodated within said cavity, said sealing element being permeable to gas;
- a lid removably attached to said proximal end, said lid configured to bulge outwards or stiffen in response to a pressure from waste content or flatus gas inside said housing;
- and
- a collapsed pouch disposed externally to said housing and deployable into a waste collection mode through the removal of said lid, wherein said removal is actuatable manually or automatically by the pressure buildup inside said ostomy appliance.
