Liquid absorbent material used in a pouch for a stoma

摘要

A liquid absorbent material to be used in a pouch for a stoma wherein a powdery synthetic polymeric highly water absorbing resin is filled in a sealed state in a water soluble or water dispersible tube having an outer diameter that can be inserted from a urine discharging tube into a bag of a pouch for a urinary tract stoma and a length that can be contained in the bag, and formed into a stick-shape. Liquid excrements flowing out of the stoma into the bag of the pouch can be rapidly solidified into jelly by the liquid absorbent material, thereby reliably preventing liquid excrements or bad smells thereof from leaking through the attaching port of the pouch or the like and preventing liquid excrements from deposition to the adhesives used for securing the pouch to the abdominal wall which would lead to deterioration of tackiness of the adhesives, to enable repeating use of the stoma pouch.
