Abstract: The invention provides a drainage bag assembly for receiving bodily waste; the drainage bag assembly comprising outer (6) and inner (12) bags secured to one side of a flange (2), the flange (2) being provided with means defining an orifice to 5 enable bodily waste to be received by the inner bag (12), and the flange (2) having connected to an opposite side thereof means for securing the drainage bag assembly to the body of a patient; the outer bag (6) being detachably secured by means of a peelable but non-repositionable adhesive to a first attachment zone (4) on the flange and the inner bag being detachably secured by means of a peelable adhesive to a 0 second attachment zone (16) on the flange, wherein the first attachment zone (4) surrounds the second attachment zone (16) and is non-overlapping therewith; and the second attachment zone (16) surrounds the means defining the orifice; and wherein the outer bag (6) can be removed or opened to permit access to the interior thereof and removal of the inner bag (

Abstract: The invention provides an ostomy bag assembly including an outer bag and an inner bag secured to one side of a flange. The inner bag is removable to facilitate disposal. The flange has a polymeric backing film and a layer of bioadhesive for securing the ostomy bag assembly to the body of a patient. The flange includes an orifice to enable bodily waste to be received by the inner bag. The outer bag is detachably bonded to a first attachment zone on the flange and the inner bag is secured to a second attachment zone on the flange. The outer bag is mounted to the flange by an annular bonding element is formed from a multilayer polymeric material comprising first and second ethylene vinyl acetate layers and a polymeric support layer interposed there between. A method of fabricating ostomy bags is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a support for an ostomy bag, the support extending the flange of the ostomy bag to reduce the risk of leakage. The support is formed of a hydrocolloid layer shaped to fit around a flange of the ostomy bag. The support can be fitted to the flange at any appropriate location enabling the flange to be supported at the point at which it is prone to failing on a particular wearer.
