ABSTRACT:
This invention provides modified forms of an improved appliance for the treatment of colostomy and the like designed to be manufactured at a low cost and to be economical and advantageous to the user. The appliance is unique in that it has a gasket molded in a single operation to form a unitary structure having plural portions which have different functions. The pouch has a receiving end and a drain end. One plural portion of the gasket forms a snap-ring hinged to the gasket when the gasket is molded and adapted to be moved by hand on its hinge to connect the receiving end of the pouch to the gasket at the outlet end of the stoma opening. Another portion of the gasket forms means for locking the drain end of the pouch to the gasket. At each opposite side of the gasket another portion has openings for threading the ends of a belt to the gasket to hold the appliance on a patient. In a modified form of the appliance one plural portion forms a diaphragm extending diametrically across the stoma opening forming the rear wall of a compartment for gel. This feature serves to extend the time between the application of fresh gel and extends the life of the appliance. Also, it serves to prevent excoriation of abdominal skin around the stoma and makes for a more satisfactory appliance. Another feature provides novel means for connecting the drain end of a tubular pouch to the gasket.
