Abstract: A rubberized sealing ring has a flat smooth broad bottom sealing surface for sealing with and spreading the pressure over an area of the rectal mucosal tissue. A peaked top surface has a wide inwardly sloping face for funneling the fecal matter into a tapering funnel-shaped neck. The sealing ring compresses together in a linear shape for anal insertion and expands resiliently into a sealing ring inside the patient past the interior anal sphincter. An external receptacle connects to the neck for collecting excretions. The receptacle may be formed integrally with the neck and sealing ring or may be detachable. A gas release valve is built into the top of the receptacle. An enema tube may be inserted in the neck. A spring may be built into the center of the sealing ring. A coil spring, flat spring, or combination spring may be used.

Abstract: A spring is imbedded in a collapsible rubberized ring with a flat broad bottom and peaked top having a wide inwardly sloping top face. The ring compresses together in a linear shape for anal insertion and expands out into a ring inside past the interior anal sphincter. A tapering funnel-shaped resilient neck connects the ring to an external receptacle to collect excretions. The receptacle may be formed integrally with the neck and ring or may be detachable. A gas release valve is built into the top of the receptacle. An enema tube may be inserted in the neck. Reinforcement on two opposing sides of the ring facilitates collapse of the ring by pulling on the neck for easy removal of the device from the patient. The spring may be a coil spring, a flat spring or a combination of the two. A slotted tube with a plunger and handle may be used to insert the compressed ring into the anal opening of a patient. The ring, neck, and receptacle are formed of a non-allergenic polymer such as Latex (TM).
