A fecal incontinence device in the form of an elongated collection bag having an attachment ring about an opening at one end of the bag. The ring is formed of a soft, pliable, and stretchable closed-cell thermoplastic foam, and the bag is formed from a single sheet or film of thermoplastic material that, following its attachment to the ring, is folded to provide a pair of side panels extending at right angles to the plane of the ring, such panels then being heat sealed to each other along their margins to define the finished bag. The foam attachment ring has its surface coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and its inner and outer margins are non-concentric to define a relatively narrow perineal attachment zone. A plurality of release sheet sections cover the adhesive coating of the ring and are sequentially removable to facilitate effective attachment of the ring to a patient. The bag is also provided with a protected gas vent and a self-closing passage for the insertion of a thermometer or other medical instrument. |
