The sphincter has a plug having a distal portion received in the channel, and a collection bag of flexible material covering the distal portion of the plug. The bag has a distal portion of reduced configurations received in the channel, with the bag inverting and the distal bag portion expanding to an enlarged configuration when the plug is removed from the channel in order to collect materials from the channel.</p> |
