1. A cap for sealing a proximal opening in an ostomy port, including:
- a collapsable ostomy bag;
a thin, flexible cover, positionable to cover said ostomy bag in a collapsed configuration within said cap when said cap is attached to said ostomy port;
wherein said cover comprises a sensing mechanism configured for sensing and indicating a positive pressure from within the abdominal cavity in a range below 150 mmIIg while said cap closes said opening;
whereinsaid indicating comprises deforming while said cover remains attached to said ostomy port; and
whereinsaid cap is attachable to and detachable from said proximal opening along a peripheral distal edge of said ostomy port.

49. A method for sensing and relieving pressure in an ostomy port, comprising:
-
sealing an opening into the port with a cap comprising a thin, flexible cover; and deforming said cover by a distance of between 2-30 mm in response to pressure in the cap, said cap remaining in place upon said deformation; and relieving said pressure by detaching said cover from along a peripheral distal edge of said ostomy port. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
