Abstract:
1. An ostomy device, comprising: an implant configured to be located inside a body of a person near a site of a stoma; a discharge device that is capable of use in an intestine of the person, the discharge device having a tubular member, and at least one of an annular disc and a flange member, a retention member structured to be operatively associated with the implant, the implant and the retention member being magnetically attracted such that the discharge device is removably retained at the site of the stoma by magnetic force; and a user-operable discharge control valve structured to open and close to thereby control the discharge of the fluid and materials to the exterior of the body of the person such that fluid and materials are dischargeable from the tubular member to the exterior of the body of the person when the discharge control valve is in an open position and fluid and materials are not dischargeable from the tubular member to the exterior of the body of the person when the discharge control valve is in a closed position, wherein the at least one of the annular disc and the flange member are provided with a recess at the first side of the at least one of the annular disc and the flange member and are positioned adjacent to the second end of the tubular member such that the recess extends around the second end of the tubular member in a circular manner and is aligned over the stoma when the tubular member is positioned in the intestine of the person; and wherein an annular inflatable bladder is positioned in the recess adjacent to the second end of the tubular member to closely contact the stoma and to shield the stoma and seal around the site of the stoma at the exterior body of the person when the tubular member is positioned in the intestine of the person; and wherein the user-operable discharge control valve is located adjacent to the second end of the tubular member to discharge fluid and materials from the opening at the second end of the tubular member and through the user-operable discharge control valve when the user-operable discharge control valve is in the open position, to exit the ostomy device to the exterior of the body of the person when the tubular member is positioned in the intestine of the person.
