Abstract: A device for emptying an ostomy bag includes a pair of elongate members, each having bag engagement members and first and second ends. The elongate members are adapted to extend substantially across a width of the ostomy bag. A hinge member is in cooperative engagement with the second ends of the elongate members and gripping members are provided at the first ends of the elongate members. The pair of elongate members are moveable from an open position where the elongate members extend outwardly from the hinge member away from each other and a closed position wherein the elongate members are generally parallel to each other.
