Abstract:
1. A control device for controlling drainage of waste from a surgical stoma of a human body, the control device comprising: a first cylindrical hollow body member having a first sidewall, a first open end portion and a second open end portion, the first cylindrical hollow body member comprising a skirt portion extending radially outward from the first open end portion capable of being removably attached to a surface surrounding the surgical stoma of the human body; a drain tube extending outward from the first sidewall of the first cylindrical hollow body member; a second cylindrical hollow body member rotatably coupled to the first cylindrical hollow body member, the second cylindrical hollow body member having a second sidewall, a proximal closed end portion and a distal open end portion configuring a cavity, the second cylindrical hollow body member comprising an aperture configured on the second sidewall; and a knob configured on the proximal closed end portion of the second cylindrical hollow body member, wherein the second cylindrical hollow body member is disposed in the first cylindrical hollow body member to align the second sidewall of the second cylindrical hollow body member with the first sidewall of the first cylindrical hollow body member for rotatably coupling the second cylindrical hollow body member to the first cylindrical hollow body member, and, wherein a rotation of the knob in at least one direction is capable of rotating the second cylindrical hollow body member with respect to the first cylindrical hollow body member to align the aperture of the second cylindrical hollow body member with the drain tube of the first cylindrical hollow body member thereby forming a passage for draining the waste from the surgical stoma of the human body.
