Abstract: An ostomy support system, retrofit kit and deployment method may involve an ostomy pouch subsystem, a belt ring and a belt. The ostomy pouch subsystem includes a pouch, a wafer and a junction portion therebetween. The belt ring includes a junction-engagement aperture and first and second lateral securement portions disposed laterally of the aperture. The belt ring is configured to be repeatedly placed into and out of mounted engagement with the ostomy pouch subsystem. When the belt ring is in such mounted engagement, the aperture is in receipt of the junction portion and axially retained between the pouch and wafer. The belt includes two end portions configured for securement to respective belt securement portions. One or both end portions may be releasably securable to its respective belt securement portion by way of hook and loop fastener surfaces. Methods are also provided to deploy the ostomy support system on a wearer.

Abstract: A fluid discharge valve for releasing fluid from a urostomy pouch comprises a first valve element and a second valve element. The first valve element includes a first bore, a distal portion and a first flange element. The first flange element includes a multiplicity of first rotational detent elements. The second valve element includes a second bore, an upper portion, a lower portion and a flow conditioner within the second bore. The upper portion threadedly receives the distal portion for threaded movement of the second valve element between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The upper end includes a plurality of second rotational detent elements adapted to come into releasable engagement with respective first rotational detent elements when the second valve element is moved into its closed configuration, wherein the first bore is sealed shut. The releasable engagement inhibits movement of the second valve element from its closed configuration.
