Ostomy appliance
First Claim
1. An ostomy appliance, comprising:
- a pouch-holder with an end-piece for being fixed about a stoma opening in the body of a user so that said end-piece surrounds the stoma in its condition of use,a waste material collecting pouch adapted to be releasably secured with the pouch-holder by a nose of the pouch and which is provided for engaging said end-piece,a control mechanism for the appliance connected to the pouch-holder, anda deformable clamping member connected with the pouch-holder and which is separate from said control mechanism for cooperating directly and solely with the pouch nose, said clamping member including means for providing a sealed mechanical connection of said pouch nose with said end-piece in response to actuation of said control mechanism.

Abstract
An ostomy appliance is disclosed, which includes a front plate or pouch-holder intended to be fixed about an artificial opening in the body of a user by an adhesive pressure sensitive shoe, a belt or similar, as well as a pouch for collecting body fluids and/or waste adapted to be removably assembled with the pouch-holder by a nose of the pouch and which is provided for cooperating with an end-piece fast with the plate and which surrounds the stoma in its condition of use, the assembly of the pouch nose and the end-piece resulting from the clamping effect of a deformable member, further including a control mechanism associated with the pouch-holder and separate from the member, the latter being also associated with the pouch-holder and adapted to cooperate directly with the pouch nose having a shape and being dimensioned such that a sealed mechanical connection of the pouch nose and the end-piece is produced in response to actuation of the mechanism.

12. An ostomy appliance made of a plastic material and comprising:
-
a pouch-holder having a relatively rigid end-piece;
said end-piece being fixed about a stoma opening in the body of the user so that said end piece surrounds the stoma during usea flexible waste collecting ouch having a nose extending therefrom which is resiliently deformable and engageable within said end piece; a resiliently deformable clamping member connected with the pouch holder and acting by clamping action for immobilizing the pouch nose with respect to the end-piece by a mating shape effect; and a control mechanism for actuating said clamping member such that said clamping member provides a sealed mechanical connection of said pouch nose within said end-piece upon actuation of said control mechanism.

13. Pouch for collecting body waste and/or fluids, particularly for enterostomy or urostomy, entering into the construction of an appliance comprising:
- a pouch-holder with an end-piece for being fixed about a stoma opening in the body of a user so that said end-piece surrounds the stoma during use,
a waste material collecting pouch adapted to be releasably secured with the pouch-holder by an annular nose of the pouch and which is provided for engaging said end-piece, a control mechanism for the appliance connected to the pouch-holder, a deformable clamping member connected to the pouch-holder and which is separate from said control mechanism for cooperating directly and solely with the pouch nose, said clamping member including means for providing a sealed mechanical connection of said pouch nose with said end-piece in response to actuation of said mechanism wherein the pouch nose comprises a flexible resiliently deformable material and whose cross section mates with that of the clamping ember, on the one hand, and is paired with the end-piece of the pouch-holder, on the other hand, to provide the sealed connection between the pouch and the pouch-holder. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. Pouch-holder for use with a pouch for collecting body waste and/or fluids, which comprises:
-
an end-piece for being fixed about a stoma opening in the body of a user so that said end-piece surrounds the stoma during use; a control mechanism connected to the pouch-holder; a deformable clamping member connected to the pouch-holder which is separate from said control mechanism for cooperating directly and solely with a collecting pouch, said clamping member including means for providing a sealed mechanical connection of said pouch with said end-piece in response to actuation of said control mechanism. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
