ABSTRACT:
A variable closure device is provided for an ostomy garment having a pair of crisscross pocket forming panels configured to lie behind an ostomy device. The crisscross overlapping arrangement of the pocket forming panels forms an elongated slot above the crossover region. Panels are releasably joined together at their top portions over a range of relative positions, including spaced apart and overlapping conditions, so as to provide a measure of adjustment to the tension provided in support of the device, and to provide an improved degree of surrounding of the ostomy device flange when the ostomy device is emplaced relatively low on the user's abdomen. The variable closure device may be used with brief-type undergarments having a front and rear garment panels joined to the pocket forming panels to jockey style briefs having an insert panel attachable at the top to the waistband and at the bottom to the lower edges of the pocket forming panels. An open back version of the first type of garment is provided for bedtime wear and has supplemental leg bands attached thereto.
