<p>A continent ostomy port device (10) has a generally planar face plate (12) defining a selectively sealable aperture (24) which is aligned with the opening of a stoma formed in the body of a user of the device (10). A closure portion (18) is connected to the generally planar face plate (12) adjacent to the aperture (24), which is adapted to permit selective, repeatable covering, and uncovering of the aperture (24) in the generally planar face plate (12). A catheter portion (14) extends from one side of the face plate (12), and extends proximally. One end of the catheter portion (14) is disposed interior of the user's body within the ostomy site when the port device (10) is in normal use position. The catheter portion (12) has continuous, generally cylindrical exterior, and interior sidewalls, the latter defining a major lumen.</p> |
