  • Safety latch for a removable clip for a colostomy bag
    Patent number: 5619775
    Abstract: A safety latch for a clip that is conventionally used to sealably close the opening in an ostomy or colostomy bag. The purpose of the safety latch is to prevent the accidental disengagement of the clip arms when engaged to the colostomy bag opening, forming a seal therein. The safety latch includes a resilient latch that, when engaged between the arms of the clip, is in a stretched condition, putting the clip arms in tension. The safety latch can be removed manually by additional stretching of the resilient member that holds the arms together.
