PCT No. PCT/GB95/01352 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 12, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 12, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 9, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/34258 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 21, 1995An ostomy coupling includes two rings which can be interengaged concentrically. The inner ring (1a) has a peripheral flange (2) at one end for attachment to an abdominal pad (3a) and a radially outwardly directed peripheral bead (6) at its other end; while the outer ring (1b) has a radially outwardly directed flange (7) for attachment to an ostomy pouch (8a), and a lip (11) which engages behind the peripheral bead (6) on the inner ring in order to secure the two rings of the coupling together. The flange (7) on the outer coupling ring includes a stiffening member (10) which is disposed so as to restrain the outer coupling ring from expanding away from the inner coupling ring when the two parts of the coupling are interengaged in use. |
