OSTOMY BAG AND METHOD FOR OSTOMY MANAGEMENT

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250134695 titled 'OSTOMY BAG AND METHOD FOR OSTOMY MANAGEMENT

Original Abstract Submitted

an ostomy device includes an implant formed of a flexible material and shaped so that the implant is capable of transitioning between a first shape and a second shape. the implant includes a tubular body sized and shaped for insertion within a lumen extending through a hole in an abdominal wall, a flared portion extending radially outward and away from the body when the implant is in the first shape, and a transition region between the body and the flared portion. the transition region and the flared portion are bendable so that transitioning the implant from the first shape into the second shape comprises inverting the flared portion so that a surface of the flared portion can be brought into contact with an outer surface of patient anatomy, whereupon the implant can be attached to the patient anatomy in the second shape.
