ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for a protective shield for a stoma and a stoma collection pouch. The shield comprises a rigid thin shell portion having a convex exterior surface and a concave interior surface. A peripheral edge joins the two surfaces. A spring clip portion mounts onto a neck piece of the collection pouch and is attached to the peripheral edge of the shell portion such that the spring clip portion normally touches the concave surface of the shell portion and extends over the top of the collection pouch. The spring clip portion, when forced away from the shell portion, is urged to return toward the shell portion by spring action between the spring clip portion and the shell portion. The protective shield is positioned onto the collection pouch with the shell portion covering the outfacing external surface of that portion of the collection pouch surrounding the neck piece. The peripheral edge contacts the collection pouch surface and straddles the neck piece. The concave surface of the protective shield includes an adhesive layer which forms a bond with the outfacing external surface of the collection pouch such that the collection pouch is held in a fixed position with respect to the protective shield. The spring clip portion contacts the infacing external surface of the collection pouch adjacent the neck piece. The shell portion acts to prevent physical injury to the stoma and to the collection pouch.
