    Abstract: A device for cleaning an ostomy pouch is provided. The device comprises a waste collector having a wide mouth and a circular aperture in its base, a waste tube, a pedestal and first and second water sprayers connected to a high pressure water source. An ostomy pouch is hung from the mouth of the waste collector so that its contents are drained out into the waste collector from its closable drain end, while the other distant end of the pouch is attached to a user's stoma. One end of the waste tube is coupled to the aperture in the base of the waste collector while the other end is coupled to the pedestal. The pedestal is fitted onto a waste dispenser. Two water sprayers clean the waste collector and the colostomy pouch by washing the contents into the waste dispenser. The device is portable.
