  • the system 10 can include a funnel and/or chute 800 (shown in FIG. 8D) which can be positioned over the open port 100 and helps guide waste to its final receptacle (e.g., the toilet or another container).
  • the funnel can come packaged in a compacted form, making it easy for the user to carry multiple on their person discreetly.
  • the funnel also provides extra length (e.g., 6 inches or more, 12 inches or more) reduces the distance from the port to the toiler (or other container) and reduces any splash-back.
  • the funnel can be made of polyvinyl alcohol or materials similarly compactable, lightweight, and flushable and water-soluble at room temperature. Once finished, the user can either flush the funnel or throw it away in the garbage bin. If there is any output residue remaining on the port 100 or membrane 700, the user can wipe or rinse either part clean.
  • the system 10 thus allows the user to bypass the need for a bag altogether in the emptying process.
  • the user can lock the lid 200 back into place on the base 300 once the emptying and cleaning process is complete.
  • the ostomy port systems of the present technology are removable from the patient, in their entireties, by the patient at any time.
  • Some existing ostomy port solutions require a base that gets implanted around the stoma.
  • Many users are hesitant to permanently implant a foreign structure within their abdomen.
  • the port systems disclosed herein offer a less permanent solution with greater flexibility.

Abstract

L'invention divulgue des systèmes d'orifice de stomie. Selon certains modes de réalisation, la présente technologie inclut un système d'orifice de stomie comprenant une plaque flexible, une base et un couvercle. La plaque peut être configurée pour être positionnée sur la peau d'un utilisateur autour d'une stomie et en contact d'étanchéité avec celle-ci. La base peut être configurée pour être couplée de manière amovible à la plaque. Le couvercle peut être couplé à la base et configuré pour se déplacer entre une position fermée dans laquelle le couvercle recouvre la seconde ouverture et empêche les excréments de s'écouler à travers celle-ci, et une position ouverte dans laquelle le couvercle reste couplé à la base mais est écarté de la seconde ouverture de sorte que les excréments peuvent s'écouler de la stomie à travers l'orifice.
