ABSTRACT:
The valved ostomy drainage device of the present invention includes a primary conduit which may be inserted into either a colonoscopy or ileostomy. Once inserted, a balloon cuff or collar on the inner aspect of the conduit is inflated which holds the conduit in place in the ostomy. The conduit is anchored on the exterior surface of the patient by a soft, malleable ring which acts as a resilient pad seal and by an anchoring collar which mounts onto the exposed end of the conduit to sandwich the ring against the patient's abdomen. With the collar so mounted the remaining exposed end of the conduit is adapted for sealing by the releasable mounting thereon of a rigid sealing member such as a threaded cap or other means of closure. A flexible one-way valve mounted in the conduit inhibits waste such as bowel contents or stool extruding through the conduit until the cap is removed and the one-way valve biased open by a secondary conduit inserted into the primary conduit and pushed against the one-way valve so as to open the valve.
