Abstract

The invention discloses an ostomy accessory (13) for an intestinal stoma of a mammal patient, and comprises an insertion portion (8) for inserting into an intestinal stoma (3) of an ostomy, and also comprises an evacuation portion (9, 9′ adapted to evacuate fecal matter from an intestine connected to said intestinal stoma through said insertion portion.

Claims

1. An ostomy accessory for an intestinal stoma of a mammal patient, the accessory comprising:

an insertion portion adapted to be inserted into an natural intestinal stoma of an ostomy,

an evacuation portion adapted to evacuate fecal matter from said insertion portion and from an intestine connected to the intestinal stoma of the patient, the intestine being formed to an ostomy reservoir, wherein the insertion portion being adapted to be inserted into the ostomy reservoir created by the intestine, the insertion portion further being adapted to cause the intestine to open for flow of the fecal matter out of the intestinal stoma when the insertion portion is positioned into the stoma, and

a wireless transmitter adapted to communicate with a wireless receiver, the wireless transmitter adapted to co-operate with and open an artificial closure acting on the outside of the intestine, when the insertion portion is positioned adjacent to or in indirect, contact therewith, to allow the fecal matter to be evacuated through the intestine and stoma rising the ostomy accessory, upon a wireless signal sent from the wireless transmitter.

2. The accessory of claim 1 wherein said insertion portion is further adapted to be inserted into an artificial ostomy reservoir.

3. The accessory of claim 1 in which said evacuation portion comprises one opening.

4. The accessory of claim 3, in which said evacuation portion further comprises at least a second opening, with at least one of said first and second openings being adapted to he closed and opened.

5. The accessory of claim 1, in which said evacuation portion comprises at least one of a substantially collapsible expandable reservoir, an expandable bag and a pouch.

6. The accessory of claim 5, in which said collapsible expandable reservoir is self expandable.

7. The accessory of claim 1, in which said evacuation portion comprises an evacuation pump, for evacuation into a artificial second reservoir which is external or internal to the accessory.

8. The accessory of claim 1, in which said transmitter is a transmitter of at least one of an electromagnetic signal, a radio signal and an ultrasound signal.

9. The accessory of claim 8, in which said receiver is an active and powered receive.

10. The accessory of claim 9, wherein the active receive reflects a signal emitted by the evacuating ostomy accessory such that the evacuating ostomy accessory recognizes the receiver.

11. The accessory of claim 8, in which said receiver is a passive receiver.

12. The accessory of claim 1, in which said transmitter is an active and powered transmitter.

13. The accessory of claim 1, in which said transmitter is a passive transmitter.

14. The accessory of claim 13, wherein the passive transmitter reflects a signal emitted by the artificial closure in order to recognize the transmitter.

15. The accessory of claim 1, wherein the wireless transmitter is placed in the insertion portion of the ostomy accessory.
