Body waste collector

An ostomy bag for receiving body waste discharged from a stoma formed in a human body, said ostomy bag being of the type comprising a first film disposed parallel to, and peripherally sealed to, a second film, so as to define both an inside space between the films and an outside atmosphere;

• a faceplate coupled to said second film and disposed to allow the ostomy bag to set directly on the stoma;
• a gas-discharging vent disposed on said first film so as to connect the inside space to the outside atmosphere;
• and a deodorizing filter exposed to the outside atmosphere but disposed through said first film so as to communicate with the gas-discharging vent;
• the invention being characterized by,
• an intermediate wall consisting of a fluid-impermeable material disposed in the inside space, so as to define a first region, extending from said intermediate wall in the direction toward the deodorizing filter, and a second region, extending from said intermediate wall and toward the direction of the faceplate, said intermediate wall being disposed in such a manner as to be substantially parallel to the first and second films, and, the intermediate wall having a peripheral portion partially coupled to the periphery of one or both of the films forming a plurality of fluid inlet openings connecting the first region to the second region adjacent to the periphery of the ostomy bag.
