OSTOMY COUPLING

摘要

It would be desirable to have improved designs of ostomy couplings which embody a springy or resilient split ring as a locking ring. In an ostomy coupling, first and second coupling members 50, 60 are held together by a springy flexible split locking ring 70. A plurality of tabs 71 symmetrically arranged on each limb of the locking ring 70, can be withdrawn generally radially outwardly by an upward pull on the locking ring to permit separation of the two coupling members. The ring 70 is generally circular in its unstressed condition.
