ABSTRACT:
A device for draining and collecting body excretions, particularly for post-operative procedures, comprising a gum-based member adapted to be placed in contact with the skin of the user around the location from which the excretion is to be discharged, the member having a hole enabling the free flow of excretion therethrough, a support on which a bag for collecting excretion is adapted to be secured, the support being of flexible material and having an aperture larger than the hole in the gum-based member, the support also being provided with pre-cut zones concentric with the aperture for enlarging the size of the aperture, the gum-based member being connected to the support by pushing the portion of the member surrounding the hole through the aperture in the support, thereby forming an annular wrap-around pad tightly embracing the edge of the aperture. Preferably the gum-based member is of Karaya gum mixed with a glycerine binder, and the support is a fabric reinforced resin film.
