Abstract: A method for assembling an ostomy bag and drain assembly, a drain assembly, and an adaptable connector to provide both greater discreet drainage of the urine waste from an ostomy bag and greater control of the flow of the urine waste. The method includes providing a connector having a barrel body, directing the connector into engagement with a mating feature of the ostomy bag, directing a flexible conduit over an end of the connector to connect and seal the flexible conduit to the connector, and directing a distal end of the flexible conduit onto a discharge valve to attach and seal the flexible conduit to the connector. The barrel body engages the mating feature to establish a leak-free interface with the first portion or the second portion corresponding to a diameter of the mating feature. A drain assembly and adaptable connector are also disclosed.
Abstract: An adaptable connector for connecting a drain assembly for draining an urostomy bag to urostomy bags having different drain outlet configurations. The drain assembly includes a flexible conduit connected to the adaptable connector and a discharge valve connected with a distal end of the flexible conduit from the connector. The flexible conduit includes sufficient length and sufficient flexibility to permit an urostomy bag wearer to position the discharge valve into a discharge position outside of the urostomy bag wearer's clothing for discharge of urine waste from the urostomy bag.

Abstract: A drain assembly for use with an ostomy bag and an ostomy bag arrangement utilizing a drain assembly to drain urine. The drain assembly includes a connector configured to attach to the ostomy bag. A flexible conduit extends from the connector. A discharge valve is positioned at a distal end of the flexible conduit from the connector. The flexible conduit is of a sufficient length and sufficient flexibility to permit an ostomy bag wearer to position the discharge valve into a discharge position outside of the ostomy bag wearer’s clothing for discharge of urine waste from the ostomy bag.
