ABSTRACT:
A new and improved receptacle for collecting fecal matter from incontinent patients and in particular bedridden incontinent patients is disclosed. The fecal incontinence receptacle comprises generally a gasket for sealingly engaging an area substantially adjacent to a stoma or anus of a wearer to form a liquid-tight seal therebetween, a conduit joined to the gasket for providing a passageway for discharge received from the stoma or anus of the wearer to pass therethrough, and a disposable receptacle detachably connected to the conduit for collecting and disposing of fecal matter received from the conduit. The gasket comprises generally a flexible plastic material having an adhesive coating on one surface with a removeable protective sheet covering the adhesive coating. The receptacle comprises generally an opening at one end for detachably connecting the receptacle to the bottom opening of the conduit. The contents collected in the receptacle may then be disposed of by disconnecting the receptacle from the conduit for disposing of the contents collected therein without disconnecting the gasket from the wearer. A new or previously cleaned receptacle may be connected to the conduit. In addition, preferably the conduit of the fecal collecting receptacle is provided with venting capability for permitting gases accumulated therein to escape therefrom, passage capability for permitting an instrument, such as a thermometer, to be inserted into the receptacle for contact with the wearer and deodorizing capability for deodorizing undesirable odors emanating from the fecal matter collected in the receptacle.
