ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a collecting bag in particular for collecting body excreta running from an artificial anus, the bag being provided with padding designed, when the bag is in place, to surround the artificial anus in order to protect it. The padding is constituted by a cushion adapted to be inflated, and inflation means are also provided to enable the patient to inflate the cushion to the desired extent. In order to avoid excessively reducing the volume of excreta that can be collected, the cushion preferably extends along the periphery of the bag. It is also preferably disposed between the front wall and the back wall of the bag so as to hold them apart from each other. In this way, excreta, including solid excreta, have no difficulty in penetrating into the bag as stiffened by the inflated cushion, which thus transforms the bag into a kind of box.
