ABSTRACT:
An ostomy appliance for attachment around an aperture of the human body including a plate-like member having an opening extending therethrough and being adhesively attached around such body aperture, a first flange member having an annular coupling portion and being attachable over a portion thereof to the non-adhesive side of the plate-like member adjacent the opening extending therethrough, a second flange member having an annular coupling portion associated with one side thereof and a bag-like member associated with the opposite side thereof for collecting waste products therein, the coupling portion of the second flange member being cooperatively engageable with the coupling portion of the first flange member, and a sealing member located adjacent the inner most portion of one of the coupling flange portions on the side thereof facing the opening in the plate-like member, the sealing member exerting a biasing force against the opposed coupling portion when such coupling portions are engaged with each other so as to form a pressure tight annular seal therebetween at such point of joinder to prevent any leakage between such members. Attachment of the first flange member to the plate-like member is such that a space is formed therebetween over a portion of their respective lengths to facilitate manipulating and maneuverability of such first and second flange members during operation thereof.
