ABSTRACT:
An ostomy device is disclosed which comprises a simple, rigid frame having an opening which is registered with the stoma of an ostomate and secured on his torso by an elastic belt. The tension of the belt cause the frame to press into the user's flesh and thus stabilize the peristomal region within the confines of the frame opening. The peristomal region is given sufficient firmness to insure secure attachment of an adhesive sheet of a waste management adjunct. This frame is also employed in a method which obviates the need for a collection container for body wastes. In this method, a protective sheet may be adhered to the peristomal skin, with an opening registered with the stoma. A absorbent pad is held against the stoma by the frame as it stabilizes the peristomal region. The solid matter is then periodically removed by replacement of the pad. For use with a sanitary wafer which is adhered to the torso and has a flange on which a collection container is detachably mounted, a broader based stabilization is provided through the provision of a relatively rigid planar portion, spanning the inner end of the frame opening. This planar portion may be provided by a separate insert or formed integrally with the frame. The planar portion concentrates stabilization to the periphery of the stoma where the adhesive sheet portion extends to an opening which is registered with the stoma. The wafer flange projects through a central opening in the planar portion to permit mounting of the collection bag.
