ABSTRACT:
An ostomy kit including a controllable vent device for releasing gas pressure that builds up in an ostomy collection pouch. The vent device comprises a flexible tube that is long enough to extend from the pounch to a point above the wearer's waist and a tube clamp mounted on the tube near its upper end. The clamp normally closes the tube but can be easily opened through the clothing of the wearer to release the gas when pressure starts to build up. The ostomy kit also includes a bottom feed squeeze bottle having a one-way air inlet valve in its top and a nozzle that is adapted to be connected to the upper end of the vent device tube for flushing out the ostomy pouch when the tube clamp is open. The kit also includes a chute member that coacts with the squeeze bottle in rinsing the stoma area after the pouch has been disconnected from the area.
