ABSTRACT:
A collecting device for the collection of excretions from various body openings, both natural and surgical in nature, is disclosed. The collecting device includes an inflatable collar which may be inserted into a body opening prior to inflation, and then be inflated in order to firmly anchor itself within that opening and prevent its inadvertent removal therefrom, or attached to a body opening or appendage. A solid elongated tubular member is heat-sealed to either the inner diameter or outer diameter of the inflatable collar, and forms a continuous channel connecting the inflatable collar to a bag disposed external to the body opening so that body secretions from that opening are collected in the bag in a simple and hygienic manner. Means are thus provided for inflating the collar from a point external to the body opening after insertion, and channel means for connecting the inflatable collar to the means for inflating that collar, the channel means being located within the interior of the elongated tubular member and the bag itself, so that there is no contact between the channel means and the body opening upon insertion of the inflatable collar thereinto.
