Claimed and described is a faecal management device (10) comprising a bag (11), said bag (11) having an aperture (21) and a flange (12) surrounding said aperture (21) for adhesive attachment to perianal area of wearer, said bag (11) having a C1-point and a C2-point, a first distance from the C1-point to the C2-point, a multitude of widths and a maximum width, as defined herein, said bag (11) being characterised in that said first distance is no more than 150 % of sa id maximum width. In an alternative, said bag (11) furthermore has a multitude of spans and a maximum span and a volume, and is further characterised in that said maximum span is no more than 400 % of the cubic root of said volume of said bag (11), preferably said maximum span is no more than 300 %, more preferably no more than 250 % of the cubic root of said volume of said bag (11). Preferred shapes of the bag (11) are according to the present invention a flat circular shape, a cone shape, a truncated cone shape, a pyramidal shape or a truncated pyramidal shape, most preferably a truncated cone shape.</p> |
