ABSTRACT:
A guard for use in cooperation with an adhesively-secured ostomy pouch has a generally kidney-shaped configuration with a concave inner surface. The guard is positionable over the connection between the ostomy patient and is adapted to be secured against the abdomen of the ostomy patient without restricting fluid discharges into the pouch. An upper edge of the guard provides a seal with the abdomen for protecting the adhesive connection of the pouch as the patient is shower bathing. The kidney-shape of the guard allows the pouch to exit from beneath the guard and also permits the patient to comfortably assume either a sitting or standing position while the seal between the guard and abdomen is maintained.
