ABSTRACT:
A device for use by a person wearing a colostomy, ileostomy or ureterostomy bag which protects the bag from binding by clothes and being noticed as readily by others. The device is a semirigid guard worn by the person below the stoma at the level of his or her waistband or belt line. The inner portion of the guard conforms to fit snugly and comfortably against the person's body. The outer portion of the guard is semirigid and curved to permit the waistband of the person's clothing to fit smoothly around the guard. The inner and outer portions may be separate pieces, removably attached to one another, as with hook and loop fasteners. Between the inner and outer portions of the guard is an opening through which the bag hangs freely. The outer portion may extend up to a level so that it covers and protects the stoma.
