Abstract: An ostomy pouch is formed to conceal, obscure, hide, cloak, or otherwise prevent the viewing of contents of the ostomy pouch except for a viewing area or window formed in the pouch and positioned therein for viewing at least a portion of a stoma receptor of the ostomy pouch. The ostomy pouch is formed by a plastic bag incorporating a stoma receptor or opening in one side of the bag and a transparent, translucent or clear window or area in another side of the bag. The transparent window is preferably, but not necessarily, positioned opposite and adjacent the stoma receptor. The ostomy pouch may be entirely sealed except for a stoma receptor orifice or may be open at one end for emptying its contents and incorporate or use a closure at the open end.

Abstract: An ostomy pouch is formed to conceal, obscure, hide, cloak, or otherwise prevent the viewing of contents of the ostomy pouch except for a “sight glass” or window formed integral with the pouch and positioned therein for viewing at least a portion of a stoma receptor of the ostomy pouch. In one embodiment, the ostomy pouch is formed by an opaque plastic bag incorporating a stoma receptor in one side of the bag and a transparent window in another side of the bag. The transparent window is preferably, but not necessarily, positioned opposite and adjacent the stoma receptor. The ostomy pouch may be entirely sealed except for a stoma receptor orifice or may be open at one end for emptying its contents and incorporate or use a closure at the open end.

Abstract: An ostomy pouch is formed to conceal, obscure, hide, cloak, or otherwise prevent the viewing of contents of the ostomy pouch except for a “sight glass”, “bulls-eye”, area or window formed in the pouch and positioned therein for viewing at least a portion of a stoma receptor of the ostomy pouch. The ostomy pouch is formed by a plastic bag incorporating a stoma receptor or opening in one side of the bag and a transparent, translucent or clear window or area in another side of the bag. The transparent window is preferably, but not necessarily, positioned opposite and adjacent the stoma receptor.
