  • CONTINENT OSTOMY SYSTEM WITH CHEMICAL NEUROMUSCULAR CONTROL
    Publication number: 20090275795
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing continence to a gastrointestinal ostomy of a patient, wherein the apparatus includes a lumen sealing device, a chemical neuromuscular control agent, and a mechanism for controlled, localized delivery of the neuromuscular control agent. The lumen sealing device is positioned in contact with the mucosal wall of the intestine and the neuromuscular control agent is delivered to the intestine via the mechanism for controlled, localized delivery, such that the neuromuscular control agent provides an inhibitory effect on peristalsis or smooth muscle contraction and relaxation cycles in the intestine to thereby arrest the advancement of the contents of the intestine.
