ABSTRACT:
An irrigation sleeve for colostomy patients is adapted such that it can be selectively and removeably attached to any one of a plurality of different snap-on attachments, such as an irrigation attachment or a rinsing or flushing attachment. The sleeve is basically funnel-shaped so that it may more effectively direct the flow of irrigating fluid and waste material therethrough. The sleeve has an opening adapted to receive a stoma of a colostomy patient and an opening adapted to receive one of the attachments. The opening for the attachments can be moved out of alignment with the opening for the stoma in order to inhibit soiling of the attachment by irrigating fluid and waste material discharged from the stoma without requiring the attachment to be removed from the sleeve.
