Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sealing device especially apt for post-use 'seal- ing of ostomy appliances such as collection bags for collecting secretions from the body in connection with e.g. a coiostomy, an ileostomy, or a urostomy.
- ostomy appliances such as collection bags for collecting secretions from the body in connection with e.g. a coiostomy, an ileostomy, or a urostomy.
- Ostomy appliances are well known. Such appliances may be two-piece or one- piece appliances. In both types of appliances, a body side member is attached to the wearer's abdomen, and optionally a receiving member or bag is attached to the body side ostomy member for receiving exudates from the ostomy in case of a two-piece appliance.
- Ostomates having an ostomy often encounters problems when removing the used ostomy bag.
- a one-piece or two-piece appliance having an adhe- sive flange for securing the ostomy collecting bag member to either the skin of the abdomen of the ostomate or to a body-side ostomy member, the ostomate may simply fold up the bag along a diameter of the adhesive wafer thus forming a closure and seal of the bag.
- two-piece appliances having a stiff coupling ring.
- the ostomate will normally have routines and the necessary facilities to manage the used bags in a safe and hygienic manner without liberation of obnoxious smell.
- the discharge of faeces or urine into the bag cannot be controlled and thus, an ostomate may often have to change the collecting bag e.g. in other people's homes or in public rest rooms when leading an active social life.
- the facilities and routines used at home may not be available or usable and the ostomate may have to bring the used bag with him until a proper* ⁇ nan- agement of the bag is practicable. This may be very difficult as indicated above and such problems may hamper the ostomate's chances of participating in a near-to-normal life considerably.
- US patent No. 4,561 ,858 discloses an ostomy appliance with integral breathable gasket for providing a seal between the ostomy appliance and skin.
- the gasket may be protected before use by a thin sheet of a peelable material such as release paper or film applied over and adhered to the gasket. Before use, the peelable material is gripped and torn off and discarded prior to application of the appliance.
- US patent No. 4,561 ,858 discloses a pre-use protection of an adhe- sive surface of an ostomy appliance using a gasket adhered to the adhesive surface of the appliance by the tack thereof.
- 4,561 ,858 is silent with respect to post-use sealing of the inlet opening of an ostomy appliance and does furthermore not disclose ostomy appliances having a coupling ring.
- an appli- ance After having served its purpose and having been removed from the patient's skin, an appli- ance has an at least partly deterioriated adhesive surface not being suitable for providing a hermetic seal by applying a release liner as disclosed in US patent No. 4,561 ,858 and thus, there is an uncovered need for an option to cope with used ostomy collection bags in places away from the ostomate's home or usual whereabouts.
- the present invention offers a simple and effective solution to the needs stated above which solution may also make life more simple at home reducing the need for special facilities and routines.
