Abstract: An ostomy pouch includes a collection pouch having a first side wall and a second side wall connected to one another along a periphery, the collection pouch having a collection cavity defined between the first and second side walls, an outlet connected to and extending from the collection pouch, the outlet defining an internal passageway connected to the collection cavity, the outlet having a coupling element, and a drainage adapter configured to engage the coupling element so as to be coupled to the outlet. The outlet is foldable to a closed condition to close the collection pouch and unfoldable to an open condition to drain the collection pouch.

Abstract: A drainable ostomy pouch (10) includes a collection pouch (12) having a collection cavity (20), a retractable outlet (14) movable between a first position retracted substantially into the collection cavity and a second position extending outwardly from the collection cavity, a discharge opening (30) formed at a distal end of the retractable outlet and a closure (22) configured to selectively allow or prevent discharge of a waste material from the collection cavity or the retractable outlet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of in vitro determining functional deficiencies in the lectin pathway of the complement system, the method comprises the steps of (a) diluting a mammalian sample of body fluid with a diluent comprising one or more inhibitors of the activation of the classical and the alternative pathways of the complement system; (b) activating the lectin pathway of the complement system in the sample obtained from (a); and (c) determining in the sample obtained from (b) the activation of one or more of the complement factors C3, C4, or one or more of the components of the C5-C9 complex. The invention furthermore relates to kits for use in connection with the above-mentioned method, the first kit comprises i) a first component comprising a carrier, one or more inhibitors of the classical and the alternative complement pathways and a diluent; and ii) a second component comprising one or more substances for activation of the lectin complement pathway and optionally an inert carrier.
