Abstract: The Ostomy Ring offers a reliable means of attaching an ostomy or other type bag to a patient via a surgically implanted magnetically susceptible material ring and an approximately sized magnetic ring placed over the skin and bag to secure the union and prevent leakage. Even a blind person could change their own bags without fear of leakage. A child could go to camp and ride a horse because there would be a reliable union between their stoma and their Ostomy Ring. In addition a semi-flexible Solid Ostomy Ring would also be available for the patient's use as an alternative to the outer magnetic ring. This would allow a person to go without their ostomy bag, and possibly be able to perform such essential duties such as going swimming, or going to their weddings, or going to their proms without as much chance of embarrassment.

Abstract: By placing a surgical metal ring during on ostomy surgery the removal and replacement of ostomy bags will no longer require an adhesive that can cause irritation and sometimes not work.
