A BODY FITTING FAECAL COLLECTOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a faecal management device (10) designed to provide improved body fit between the flange and the skin of the wearer and thereby prevent leakage. The faecal management device (10) comprises a bag (11) having an aperture (21), and an anatomically-shaped flange (12), which surrounds the aperture (21). The flange (12) provides for adhesive attachment to the perianal area of the wearer. In particular, the flange comprises a projection (28, 29) in the front and the rear portion of the flange respectively, which provide an effective seal between the flange and the skin of the wearer and prevent leakage at the coccyx and at the urinary tract. In another aspect of the present invention, the faecal management device comprising such a flange is used in combination with a disposable diaper.
