Abstract: A waste management appliance includes a tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end, a cowl fastened to the tubular body at a first circumferential location in a vicinity of the proximal end, a balloon provided within the cowl, and an inflation lumen opening to an interior of the balloon and extending toward the distal end of the tubular body. The cowl extends outside of the tubular body to a second circumferential location spaced from the first circumferential location and is fastened to the tubular body at the second circumferential location. The balloon is inflatable to a desired extent within the cowl by injecting a predetermined amount of fluid into the balloon via the inflation lumen; the cowl restrains inflation of the balloon beyond the desired extent in the event of an injection of more than the predetermined amount of fluid into the balloon.
