Anti-seal device for use with ostomy appliances

摘要

A sleeve-like element having at least one opening in a wall to permit the flow of body wastes from a stoma to a pouch while preventing a wall of the pouch from blocking the discharge end of said stoma. Said sleeve-like element protects the stoma from accidental external forces and allows a user to firm up the critical adhesive area surrounding the stoma following the attachment and assembly of the system. The sleeve-like element is readily cleanable for re-use.
