Valve for a urostomy appliance

A urostomy appliance including:

• a first wall and a second wall connected substantially about their peripheries to define an internal waste collecting cavity;
• a stoma receiving opening which is positioned in the first wall and is in communication with the waste collecting cavity;
• and
• a valve including:
• a housing for connection to the urostomy appliance, the housing having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the housing includes a housing passage extending between the inlet and outlet and
• a body which is received in the housing passage and which is rotatable about an axis between an open position, in which liquid is permitted to flow to the outlet, and a closed position, in which liquid is substantially prevented from flowing to the outlet, wherein the body is received in the opening in the housing and has a body passage extending from a body inlet to a body outlet and a blocking portion,
• wherein when the body is in its open position the body outlet at least partially aligns with the housing outlet and permits liquid to pass through the body passage and flow through the housing outlet, and wherein when the body is in its closed position the blocking portion is aligned with the housing outlet and the body outlet is out of alignment with the housing outlet, and
• wherein the valve includes a sealing device which extends around a periphery of the body between the body and the housing passage and which extends around the body outlet, such that the sealing device prevents ingress of liquid between the body and the housing passage when the body is in its closed position.
