External fecal management device
A fecal management device, and methods for applying a fecal management device to a patient, are described herein. In some embodiments, the fecal management device comprises a sheath having a first end and a second end, a first connector at the first end of the sheath, said first connector comprising a substrate that includes a first adhesive and a second adhesive, the second adhesive disposed relatively outwardly with respect to the first adhesive, the substrate having a multi-lobed contour with two opposing concave regions, a sheath port located at the second end of the sheath, the sheath port configured to removably mate with a collection bag port, and a collection bag, wherein the collection bag includes the collection bag port.
1. A fecal management device comprising:
a sheath having a first end and a second end;
a first connector at the first end of the sheath, said first connector comprising a substrate, a first adhesive, and a second adhesive, the second adhesive disposed relatively outwardly with respect to the first adhesive, the first adhesive being disposed on a separate secondary substrate;
a sheath port located at the second end of the sheath, the sheath port configured to removably mate with a collection bag port; and
a first collection bag, wherein the collection bag includes the collection bag port.
2. The fecal management device of claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive is a hydrocolloid adhesive.
3. The fecal management device of claim 1 , the first collection bag including an anti-reflux device.
4. The fecal management device of claim 1 , the first collection bag including a filter port.
5. The fecal management device of claim 1 , the first collection bag including a dual hanger, the dual hanger comprising a central body connected via a first living hinge to a first clamp portion and connected via a second living hinge to a second clamp portion, the first and second clamp portions being pivotable over a range of travel between a frame hook position and a flat wall clasp position.
6. The fecal management device of claim 1 , wherein the first collection bag includes a cap, and wherein the cap is configured to mate with the collection bag port.
7. A method comprising applying the fecal management device of claim 1 to a patient, removing said first collection bag after said patient excretes fecal matter into said fecal management device, and replacing said first collection bag with a second collection bag, said second collection bag having a collection bag port configured to mate with the sheath port.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first adhesive is a hydrocolloid adhesive.
9. The method of claim 7 , the first collection bag including an anti-reflux device.
10. The method of claim 7 , the first collection bag including a filter port.
11. The method of claim 7 , the first collection bag including a dual hanger, the dual hanger comprising a central body connected via a first living hinge to a first clamp portion and connected via a second living hinge to a second clamp portion, the first and second clamp portions being pivotable over a range of travel between a frame hook position and a flat wall clasp position.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first collection bag includes a cap, and wherein the cap is configured to mate with the collection bag port.
13. A fecal management device comprising:
a sheath having a first end and a second end;
a first connector at the first end of the sheath, said first connector comprising a substrate that includes an adhesive, and a separate secondary substrate with a different adhesive;
a sheath port located at the second end of the sheath, the sheath port configured to removably mate with a collection bag port; and
a collection bag, wherein the collection bag includes the collection bag port.
14. The fecal management device of claim 13 , wherein the different adhesive is a hydrocolloid adhesive.
15. The fecal management device of claim 13 , the substrate including an aperture.
16. The fecal management device of claim 13 , the collection bag including a dual hanger, the dual hanger comprising a central body connected via a first living hinge to a first clamp portion and connected via a second living hinge to a second clamp portion, the first and second clamp portions being pivotable over a range of travel between a frame hook position and a flat wall clasp position.
17. The fecal management device of claim 13 , the collection bag including an anti-reflux device.
18. The fecal management device of claim 13 , the collection bag including a filter port.
