ABSTRACT:
An ostomy coupling has two co-operating coupling elements. One is for attachment to a medical grade adhesive and the other is for attachment to an ostomy pouch. Each element is of close loop form and includes a tapering member extending around a stomal orifice. Each such member tapers in a radially outward direction and has a flat surface located in a plane at right angles to the coupling axis. The coupling also has a means of clamping which can be tightened onto the tapering members to hold them together. When held their respective flat surfaces are in face-to-face arrangement. Hence, two coupling elements can be held together and released without the application of any axial pressure forces or pulling forces to the wearer of the ostomy appliance.
