Fecal matter collector

A fecal matter collector including a continuous closed tubular member of flexible and resilient material having a first end operatively associated with a user's rectum, said first end being inserted within the rectum, said member having an intermediate length of restricted cross section placed at and extending through the anal opening of a user at the place of the sphincter muscle of the user, a second end of said member external of the rectum, said ends being of substantially greater dimensions than that of said restricted intermediate length and being open, a solid ring of resilient material operatively connected with each said open end of the tubular member and conjointly therewith forming the overall continuous closed tubular member, said ring at the internal end of said member being attached in the interior of the tube at the open end, and having a flattened conical configuration for association with the interior of the rectum proximate the anal opening and anal sphincter thereof, and adapted for maintaining the tube in operative association within the rectum of a user, a collector bag of substantially uniform resilient and continuous material, said bag having an open end and being removably connected to said second external end of said tubular member, the external ring being integrated with the exterior of the tube material proximate the second open end and having an external groove therein, said collector bag having the open end thereof positioned externally of said ring, and a resilient material solid ring disposed externally of the end of the bag, and associating this end in the groove of the ring and resiliently interconnecting the collector bag with the tubular member and adapting the bag for easy removal for cleaning and/or replacement, and at the external ring a gas and air vent opening to permit escape of gaseous material from the collecting bag to the exterior.
