Ostomy appliance with barrier member having a single coupling ring with two coupling areas for connection of inner and outer bag members
First Claim
1. An ostomy appliance comprising:
- an adhesive barrier member having a hole for receiving a stoma, ureter, or catheter, and a barrier wafer to be attached to the wearer'"'"'s abdomen, back, or chest;
an outer receiving member having a hole for receiving wastes exiting the stoma, ureter or catheter;
a disposable inner bag having a hole for receiving wastes exiting the stoma, ureter or catheter, said inner bag fitting within said outer receiving member;
an inner bag coupling ring separate from said inner bag so as to be separately exchangeable; and
a single base coupling ring attached to said barrier member and surrounding said barrier member hole, said single base coupling ring having a first coupling area on an inner surface thereof relative to said hole and a second coupling area on an outer surface thereof, said inner bag and inner bag coupling ring being releasably coupled to said barrier member at said first coupling area and said outer receiving member being releasably coupled to said barrier member at said second coupling area.

Abstract
An ostomy appliance including an adhesive barrier member having a hole for receiving a stoma, ureter, or catheter, an outer receiving member or bag releasably attached to the adhesive barrier member, and a disposable inner bag liner releasably attached to the adhesive barrier member. A single base coupling ring is attached to the barrier member and includes a first coupling area on an inner surface thereof, relative to the hole, and a second coupling on an outer surface thereof. The inner bag, which is coupled to the barrier member using an inner bag coupling ring, is coupled to the barrier member at the first coupling area and the outer receiving member is coupled to the barrier member at the second coupling area, such that both the inner bag and outer receiving member are mounted on the same single barrier member ring.

9. An ostomy appliance comprising:
-
a barrier member having a hole for receiving a stoma, ureter, or catheter;
an outer receiving member having a hole for receiving wastes exiting the stoma, ureter or catheter;
a disposable inner bag having a hole for receiving wastes exiting the stoma, ureter or catheter;
an inner bag coupling ring for coupling said inner bag to said barrier member, said inner bag coupling ring being separate from said inner bag so as to be separately exchangeable; and
