ABSTRACT:
A manually manipulated implement and method of use thereof for facilitating the drainage of conventional ostomy pouches are disclosed. The implement includes a two-piece handle portion with an elongated engagement member extending from each, with hinge means connecting the handle pieces and engagement members of movement toward and away from one another between spaced and essentially contacting positions. When the pouch drain opening is positioned over a suitable receptacle, the pouch walls are placed between the elongated engagement members, which are then moved from the spaced position to engage the pouch walls firmly therebetween. The implement is then moved manually toward the drain opening, forcing the contents out of the pouch, into the receptacle. In the preferred embodiment the implement is of one-piece molded plastic construction and includes means for stabilizing the relative lateral position of the engagement members as the implement is moved along the pouch.
