Patent ID: 8088114

Claim:
A bag cover system comprising: a fluid impervious urostomy/colostomy bag including an upper bag portion in a generally flat, rectangular configuration having a top edge and a bottom edge with side edges between the top and bottom edges, the bag portion being fabricated of a flexible plastic with a front panel and a rear panel and with a peripheral heat seal along the upper and side edges and along a majority of the lower edge to form a central opening in the lower edge, a circular opening in the rear panel adjacent to the top edge with a stiffening ring and radial fingers for coupling to a patient whereby human waste is adapted to flow into the bag portion, the urostomy/colostomy bag also including a lower drain portion having a fixed portion secured in the central opening of the bag portion and an axially rotatable cylindrical portion with a valve within the fixed portion and rotatable to selectively open and close in response to the rotation of the cylindrical portion; a bag cover fabricated of a flexible material including a rear sheet having a hole adjacent to a top edge and a downwardly extending projection formed at a bottom edge; the cover also including a front sheet overlying the rear sheet with a top edge being essentially midway between top and bottom edges of the rear sheet and defining a pocket for receiving and supporting a bag; a slit in the rear sheet between an upper edge and the hole with facing fasteners on the rear sheet adjacent to the slit adapted to be separated for separating a bag from the cover; and facing patches of hook and loop fasteners including a fixed patch on an upper surface of the projection and an overlying removable patch, the patches adapted to receive a cylindrical portion of a bag, the patches including a fixed patch stitched to the upper surface of projection and an overlying removable patch, the fixed and removable patches adapted to receive the cylindrical portion of the urostomy/colostomy bag with the cylindrical portion parallel with the side edges of the lower sheet and with a line of stitching joining the large patches along side edges of the large patches parallel with the side edges of the lower sheet and wherein when the urostomy/colostomy bag is located in the pocket with the cylindrical portion between the large patches whereby any twisting of the urostomy/colostomy bag will cause a concurrent twisting of the cylindrical portion to preclude flow stoppage from the urostomy/colostomy bag.
