ABSTRACT:
An appliance for supporting a fecal bag to the body of a colostomy or ileostomy patient to receive bodily discharge from the stoma comprises an ellipsoidal plate having a curved surface on a body engaging side and a recessed bag supporting ring on the opposite side. The outer rim of the plate along its major axis is arced to conform to body profile. A central aperture formed in the plate extends through the ring for positioning the stoma in the fecal bag. The plate is attached to the body using an appliance belt, and the curved body engaging surface pushes the skin inwardly at the abdominal opening to cause the stoma to be maintained in an extended position for drainage into the bag. The curved body engaging surface also increases the surface contact area between the plate and body and improves the plate-to-body seal. This prevents leakage of bowel acids under the plate, and minimizes slippage. The curved profile of the plate and recessed ring member for supporting the bag make the appliance virtually undetectable when worn under clothing.
