Title: Apparatus to protect abdominal stoma and prevent ostomy pouch from leaking
Inventor: MAGEE BRENDAN
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2014-02-20
Abstract: A device to protect abdominal stoma from pressure from clothing and impact, and to prevent an ostomy pouch from leaking, without the use of a fixed belt, is presented. Leakage in existing products occurs due to: the movement of the fixed belt, the gathering of faecal matter around the stoma, the wearing of a waistband below the stoma, and finally impact and pressure; leading to the adhesive seal coming away from the abdomen (blow-out). There are two separate components: a baseplate, and a cover which attaches to the baseplate. The baseplate is designed to exert a gentle pressure on the adhesive flange of an ostomy pouch. The rigid cover is designed to protect the stoma from pressure from clothing waistbands. The back of the cover has a "keyhole" shaped plate, adding to the rigidity and preventing faecal matter from congregating around the stoma by channeling it into the ostomy pouch. <Figure 8>

The invention further comprises an apparatus for performing a multi-stage process of converting waste materials into useful materials, and at least one oil product that arises from the process. Useful products can also be obtained or derived from materials diverted at different points of the process.
