- the bag is quickly and easily formed from sheet polyethylene.
- the formation of the guards in the liner to define the guarded areas is simply and easily achieved by further laminations, which can be done at the time the edge portions are laminated. Hence the cost of producing a liner according to the invention is relatively inexpensive.
- the guard areas provide pre-defined areas in which a user can form gas vent openings.
- the gas vent openings can be formed at the time of manufacture.
- the guards prevent intestinal waste material from entering the guarded regions in which the gas vent openings are ultimately formed and thereby prevent intestinal waste material from exiting the liner through the gas vent openings, but do allow gas to escape.
- the flange portion formed in the first and second sheets is easily separable and spreadable about the ostomy bag opening by a person of even minimal dexterity as this action requires no tugging or pulling to stretch resilient rings or the like about the opening. Furthermore, the flange portion is less dependent on manufacturing tolerances because to properly seal the flange portion when the ostomy bag is connected to flange coupling on the patient, it is necessary only to ensure that the entire bag coupling is covered by the flange portion.

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION Conventional Ostomy Bag and Ostomy Flange
- a disposable ostomy bag liner according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown generally at 10 installed in a conventional ostomy bag 12 secured to a conventional ostomy flange 14 fitted to an ostomy patient 16.
- the ostomy flange 14 includes a circular plastic flange coupling 18 to which is secured an annular flexible securing member 20 having adhesive areas 22 and 24 for securing the ostomy flange 14 to the patient 16.
- the ostomy bag 12 has a complementary bag coupling 26 which connects to 5 the flange coupling 18 to connect the ostomy bag 12 to the ostomy flange 14 in generally fluid-tight relation.
- the bag coupling 26 has an opening 28 through which intestinal waste material is conventionally admitted into the conventional ostomy bag.
- the liner 10 is inserted into the opening 28 and the intestinal waste which otherwise would have been admitted into the conventional ostomy bag 12 is admitted only into 0 the disposable ostomy bag liner 10 according to the invention.
- the connection of the conventional ostomy bag 12 to the conventional ostomy flange 14 is facilitated by external neck and head portions 30 and 32 respectively on the flange coupling 18 and complementary shaped ring and groove portions 5 34 and 36 respectively on the bag coupling 26.
- the ring 34 is retained by the head portion 32 to secure the bag 12 to the ostomy flange 14.
- the disposable ostomy bag liner according to the invention is intended for use with this type of flange and bag coupling.
- a bag and coupling of the type described above are available as component numbers SUR-FIT 1784-58 (ostomy bag) and SUR-FIT 225-21 O (ostomy flange) from Convatec, a Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, USA EUA PO Box 4000, Princeton, New Jersey 08543-4000. Liner
- the liner includes a unitary flexible liner bag 38 having a main body portion 40, a tapered portion 42, a narrowed portion 44 and a flange portion 46. 5
- the main body portion 40 and the tapered portion 42 define an interior portion 48 of the bag for receiving and holding intestinal waste material.
- the main body portion 40 is fully received inside the conventional ostomy bag 12 while only the flange portion 46 extends outside of the conventional ostomy bag.
- the narrowed portion 44 is disposed between the tapered portion 42 and the flange portion 46 and is for holding the O liner bag 38 in place in the opening 28 of the bag coupling 26.
- the flange portion 46 is disposed adjacent the narrowed portion 44 and is for cooperating with the conventional ostomy flange 14 shown in Figure 1 to secure and seal the liner bag 38 to the ostomy flange 14.
- the narrowed portion defines a mouth opening 50 for admitting intestinal waste material into the interior portion 48 of the 5 liner bag 38.
- the liner bag 38 has first and second pairs 52 and 54 of gas vent openings 56 and has first and second guards 58 and 60 disposed in the flexible bag for guarding the waste material received in the mouth opening from the pairs 52 and 54 of gas vent openings to generally inhibit the access of the waste material thereto to prevent clogging by the waste material.
- Liner construction
- the liner bag 38 is formed from first and second flexible sheet portions 62 and 64, together having joined perimeter edges shown generally at 66 and unjoined perimeter edges shown generally at 68.
- the joined perimeter edges include generally parallel first and second joined opposite side edge portions 70 and 72 and a bottom joined edge portion 74 extending between the first and second opposite edge portions.
- the first and second opposite edge portions and the bottom edge portion define the main body portion 40.
- the joined perimeter edges 66 further include first and second tapered edges 76 and 78 which define the tapered portion 42.
- the joined perimeter edges 66 further include first and second flange edges
- Body portion 80 and 82 which partly define the flange portion 46.
- the remainder of the flange portion 46 is defined by first and second straight edges 84 and 86 and a top edge 88, each of which is unjoined and therefore included in the grouping of unjoined edges defined by reference numeral 68.
- Body portion 80 and 82 which partly define the flange portion 46.
- the remainder of the flange portion 46 is defined by first and second straight edges 84 and 86 and a top edge 88, each of which is unjoined and therefore included in the grouping of unjoined edges defined by reference numeral 68.
- first and second sheet portions and may be of a common sheet of 1.0 mil transparent low density polyethylene sheet which is a suitably disposable material capable of being flushed down a conventional toilet.
- polyethylene sheet material of between 1.0 mil and 2.0 mil (0.001 inches and 0.002 inches) thickness may be used however it will be appreciated that the smaller thicknesses are more susceptible to puncture while the larger thicknesses tend to interfere with the sealing between the bag coupling 26 and the flange coupling 18.
- the polyethylene sheet may initially be rectangular in shape and then folded as depicted in broken outline to form the first joined side edge portion 70.
- first side edge portions of the first and second sheet portions are joined together by a fold 90.
- Such lamination can be achieved by overlapping the first and second sheet portions and rolling thereon a heated roller (not shown), heated sufficiently to fuse the first and second sheet portions together on contact with the roller.
- the heat laminations 92-102 are formed in overlapping rectangular sheet portions such that the indicated corresponding edges on the first and second sheets are joined together. Then, each of the edges, with the exception of the first joined side edge portion 70 is cut out of the resulting laminated bag, in the shape as shown in solid outline. Tapered portion
- first and second tapered edges 76 and 78 extend at respective similar angles 104 and 106 to the first and second joined opposite side edges respectively such that the tapered edges taper inwardly of the first and second side edge portions 70 and 72 such that the tapered portion 42 tapers toward the narrowed portion 44.
- the angles 104 and 106 are each approximately 45 degrees.
- the flange portion 46 is at least partially defined by the first and second angled, joined flange edges 80 and 82 extending from and at respective angles 114 and 116 to the first and second joined tapered edges 76 and 78 respectively.
- the angles 114 and 116 between the first and second joined tapered edges 76 and 78 and the first and second joined flange edges 80 and 82 should be in the range of between 60 and 120 degrees, but preferably are approximately 90 degrees. Generally, the greater the angle, the greater the tendency of the liner bag 38 to be held in the conventional ostomy bag but, the greater the susceptibility to tearing of the liner bag 38.
- the angular orientation of the flange edges 80 and 82 provides the flange portion 46 with an inverse taper, or in other words, the flange edges diverge from the narrowed portion 44. Since the narrowed portion 44 defines the mouth opening 50, the flange portion 46 extends about the mouth opening 50. Preferably, the flange portion 46 extends a distance 118 of at least 0.5 inches radially beyond the mouth opening 50 to provide enough material in the flange portion 46 to permit the flange portion to be located between the flange coupling and the bag coupling shown in Figure 2.
- first and second straight edges 84 and 86 extend generally parallel to a longitudinal axis 120 of the liner bag 38 and are unjoined to permit the patient easy access to upper portions of the first and second sheet portions 62 (and 64, not shown in Figure 4).
- the top edge 88 of the bag is unjoined to provide access to the mouth opening 50 of the bag.
- the unjoined straight edges 84, 86 and top edge 88 allow the patient to spread apart the flange portions 46 of each sheet portion to permit the flange portions to be spread about the bag coupling during installation of the liner bag 38 into the conventional ostomy bag.
- first and second heat laminated joint lines 122 and 124 extending from the first and second tapered edges 76 and 78 respectively, are formed in the tapered portion 42.
- the first and second heat laminated joint lines 122 and 124 generally extend at first and second acute angles 126 and 128 relative to the first and second tapered edges 76 and 78 to define first and second guarded regions 130 and 132 in the tapered portion 42, which are separated from the interior portion 48 of the bag.
- the first and second pairs 52 and 54 of gas vent openings are formed in the tapered portion 42, in the first and second guarded regions 130 and 132 respectively, and the first and second heat laminated joint lines 122 and 124 act as the first and second guards 58 and 60 for guarding the waste material received in the mouth opening 50 from the pairs 52 and 54 of gas vent openings.
- the first and second pairs 52 and 54 of gas vent openings 56 are formed in the first and second guarded regions 130 and 132 simply by puncturing these areas with a conventional No. 10 pin (not shown) having a diameter of approximately 0.025 inches.
- the gas vent openings each have a diameter of between 0.020 and 0.030 inches.
- the gas vent openings 56 may omitted therefrom and the patient may be invited to form these openings as required, to suit the patient's individual level of gas production.
- the gas vent openings 56 are formed, at least one gas vent opening should be provided in the liner bag 38 prior to use to prevent the bag from excessive expansion during use.
- the gas vent openings 56 are formed in the bag approximately 0.75 inches, measured along the adjaceu tapered edge portion, from the narrowed portion 44. Referring back to Figure 1, this spaces the gas vent openings 56 from the narrowed portion 44 such that the gas vent openings are not likely to be pressed up against the conventional ostomy bag 12 during use and therefore are likely to be unblocked to permit gas to exit the liner bag 38 and be admitted into an interior 134 of the conventional ostomy bag.
- the conventional ostomy bag should be provided with a vent opening 136, preferably with a conventional carbon filter 138 for removing offensive odours.
- the relatively small gas vent openings 56 in the liner bag 38 tend to minimize the amount of moisture permitted to escape from the bag and therefore a minimal amount of moisture is provided to the carbon filter 138, which minimizes clogging of the filter. Since clogging of the carbon filter in a conventional ostomy bag is determinative of the time to discard the bag, minimizing clogging of the filter extends the life of the conventional ostomy bag. Since use of the liner bag minimizes clogging of the filter, it also extends the life of the conventional ostomy bag. Typically, one conventional ostomy bag may be used for approximately one week when liners according to the invention are used in conjunction therewith.
- the liner bag 38 is employed by first inserting the main body portion 40 into the opening 28 in the conventional ostomy bag coupling 26 on a conventional ostomy bag 12. If the liner bag 38 is of the type supplied without gas vent openings 56, the patient should first form the gas vent openings in the tapered portion 42 of the liner prior to inserting the main body portion 40 into the conventional ostomy bag.
- Figure 6 Referring to Figure 6, the main body portion 40 is inserted until the narrowed portion 44 is axially aligned with the bag coupling 26 such that the main body portion is disposed inside the conventional ostomy bag 12 while the flange portion 46 extends outside the conventional ostomy bag. The flange portion 46 is then spread about the bag coupling 26 such that it generally lies flat in a plane parallel to a plane 121 in which the bag coupling lies.
- the bag coupling 26 with the flange portion 46 spread thereabout is pressed onto the flange coupling 18.
- the flange portion 46 of the liner bag 38 is therefore received between the bag coupling 26 and the flange coupling 18 and more particularly is received between the head portion 32 and groove 36 and between the neck portion 30 and ring 34.
- the liner is thus secured to the flange coupling 18 in fluid-tight relation such that the mouth opening 50 is operable to receive waste material which would otherwise have been admitted into the conventional ostomy bag 12. Liquid (and solids) contained in the intestinal waste material is substantially retained in the liner bag 38 and therefore is not permitted to contact the interior portion of the conventional ostomy bag 12.
- Intestinal gasses are collected in the liner bag 38 but are allowed to escape through the gas vent openings 56 to flow into the interior 134 of the conventional ostomy bag 12 which has the carbon filter 138 and vent opening 136 for permitting these gases to escape to the immediate surroundings. In this way, expansion of the liner bag 38 due to build up of gas pressure is prevented.
- the interior 134 of the conventional colostomy bag is kept relatively free of intestinal waste material because the guards, only guard 58 being shown in Figure 1, act to inhibit access of the waste material to the gas vent openings 56 and the relatively small size of the gas vent openings limits the volume of material which can escape past the guards.
- the bag coupling 26 may be removed from the flange coupling 18 by prying the bag coupling therefrom, in a conventional manner already known in the art. It will be appreciated that the transparent nature of the polyethylene sheet forming the bag facilitates a visual check on the quantity of waste material in the liner.
- the flange portion 46 of the liner bag 38 may then be gathered up, to permit the patient to grasp the liner bag 38, permitting it to be pulled from the conventional ostomy bag 12, through the opening 28.
- the patient should take care to close the mouth opening 50 by gathering the liner bag 38 at the narrowed portion 44 as this will prevent intestinal waste material from exiting the liner bag 38 through the mouth opening 50.
- the liner bag with waste material contained therein may then be deposited into a conventional toilet for disposal.
- use of the liner bag involves the basic steps of receiving intestinal waste material in a mouth opening of a disposable ostomy bag liner disposed in an ostomy bag and guarding the waste material, received in the mouth opening, from at least one gas vent opening in the liner to generally inhibit the access of the waste material to the at least one gas vent opening to prevent the waste material from exiting the gas vent opening.
