Abstract

An artificial stoma device includes a solid unit and a hollow unit. The solid unit includes a blocking member that is adapted to block off a downstream section of an intestine and that has a contacting face adapted for facing an upstream section of the intestine, and a first connecting member that is connected fixedly to the contacting face of the blocking member. The hollow unit includes a conduit that has an outer surrounding surface and two opposite conduit openings being adapted to be disposed respectively at the upstream section of the intestine and an opening of a skin tissue, and a second connecting member that is connected fixedly to the outer surrounding surface and that is detachably connected to the first connecting member of the solid unit.

Claims (24)

1. An artificial stoma device adapted to be installed in an abdomen, the abdomen containing an intestine which is formed with a radial side opening, and having a skin tissue which is formed with an opening being registered with the radial side opening, the intestine having an upstream section that is disposed upstream of the radial side opening and a downstream section that is disposed downstream of the radial side opening, said artificial stoma device comprising:

a solid unit adapted to be inserted into the downstream section of the intestine via the opening of the skin tissue and the radial side opening of the intestine, said solid unit including

a blocking member that is adapted to block the downstream section and that has a contacting face adapted for facing the upstream section, and

a first connecting member that is connected fixedly to said contacting face of said blocking member; and

a hollow unit adapted to be inserted into the upstream section of the intestine via the opening of the skin tissue and the radial side opening of the intestine, said hollow unit including

a conduit that has an outer surrounding surface, and two conduit openings being opposite to each other and adapted to be disposed respectively at the upstream section of the intestine and the opening of the skin tissue, and

a second connecting member that is connected fixedly to said outer surrounding surface and that is detachably connected to said first connecting member of said solid unit.

2. The artificial stoma device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said solid unit further includes a first fixing member that is connected fixedly to said contacting face of said blocking member, and that is spaced apart from said first connecting member;

said hollow unit further including a second fixing member that is connected fixedly to said outer surrounding surface of said conduit, and that is spaced apart from said second connecting member; and

said first fixing member and said second fixing member are adapted to cooperatively clip a portion of the intestine therebetween.

3. The artificial stoma device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said first fixing member of said solid unit and said second fixing member of said hollow unit are magnets.

4. The artificial stoma device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an outer unit that includes a cover member adapted to cover removably the opening of the skin tissue.

5. The artificial stoma device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said solid unit further includes a first portal member that has

an external segment adapted to be disposed outside of the opening of the skin tissue, and

an internal segment adapted to extend through the opening of the skin tissue, and connected to said contacting face of said blocking member;

said first portal member and said blocking member are adapted to cooperatively clip the skin tissue and the downstream section of the intestine therebetween;

said hollow unit further including a second portal member that has an external segment adapted to be disposed outside of the opening of the skin tissue and connected to said conduit; and

said second portal member and said conduit are adapted to cooperatively clip the skin tissue and the upstream section of the intestine therebetween.

6. The artificial stoma device as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising an outer unit including a pouch that defines a collecting space, and a linking member that is connected fixedly to said pouch and that is connected detachably to said first portal member of said solid unit and said second portal member of said hollow unit.

7. The artificial stoma device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said first connecting member has an end surface distal from said contacting face of said blocking member; and

said second connecting member has an end surface distal from said conduit, connected detachably to said end surface of said first connecting member, and has a contour identical to that of said end surface of said first connecting member.
