Abstract

A disconnectible section ostomy appliance comprises

(a) a receptacle for body waste discharge,

(b) a first support strip connected to said receptacle,

(c) a second support strip carrying an adhesive adapted to be pressed onto an area proximate an ostomy orifice in the body for passing said body discharge,

(d) and a releasable attachment interconnecting said first and second strips, so that the receptacle is positioned to receive waste discharge from said ostomy orifice, the attachment adapted to be manually manipulated to free the connection between said strips, whereby the first strip and receptacle are liftable away from the skin without restriction imposed by said adhesive.

Claims

1. In a disconnectible section ostomy appliance, the combination comprising:

(a) a receptacle for body waste discharge, said receptacle having air inlet for receiving body waste discharge

(b) a first support strip connected to said receptacle,

(c) a second support strip carrying an adhesive wherein the strip can be pressed and adhered to the body for passing said body discharge,

(d) and a releasable attachment interconnecting said first and second strips, so that the receptacle is positioned to receive waste discharge from said ostomy orifice, the attachment being manually to free the connection between said strips, whereby the first strip and receptacle are liftable away from the skin without restriction imposed by said adhesive,

(e) said attachment comprising stitching interconnecting said strips.

2. The combination of claim 1 wherein the stitching comprises string means releasably threaded between the strips, the string means having two free ends, wherein when one end is pulled the string means is removed from the strips.

3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said second strip has a perimeter and said first strip extends peripherally of said second strip perimeter, said second strip defining a through opening to pass the waste discharge from said orifice to the inlet of the receptacle.

4. The combination of claim 3 wherein the receptacle entrance is in registration with said second strip through opening.

5. The combination of claim 1 wherein the second strip includes a waste guiding tongue extending into said receptacle entrance and overlapping a portion of said stitching.

6. The combination of claim 1 wherein said second strip has a perimeter and said first strip is generally annular and entends peripherally of said second strip perimeter.

7. The combination of claim 1 including a third strip carrying an adhesive wherein the strip can be pressed and adhered to a skin area proximate said ostomy orifice, the said second strip adhesively attached to said third strip.

8. The combination of claim 7 wherein said second and third strips define through openings which are in registration to pass the waste discharge from said orifice to the receptacle.

9. In a disconnectible section ostomy appliance, the combination comprising:

(a) a receptacle for body waste discharge,

(b) a first support strip connected to said receptacle,

(c) a second support strip carrying an adhesive which can be pressed onto an area proximate an ostomy orifice in the body for passing said body discharge,

(d) and a releasable attachment interconnecting said first and second strips, so that the receptacle is positioned to receive waste discharge from said ostomy orifice, the attachment being manually manipulatable to free the connection between said strips, whereby the first strip and receptacle are liftable away from the skin without restriction imposed by said adhesive,

(e) said second strip having a perimeter and said first strip extending peripherally of said second strip perimeter, said second strip defining a through opening to pass the waste discharge from said orifice to the receptacle,

(f) the receptacle having an entrance in registration with said second strip through opening,

(g) said attachment comprising stitching extending peripherally about said second strip and interconnecting the strips, and spaced from said opening.
