摘要

The present invention provides an ostomy pouch for directing stool from a stoma having an external diameter (ED-S), comprising: an arcing spring diaphragm-like structure, the diaphragm comprising: a first opening having a first diameter Dl, a second opening having a second diameter D2 and a middle arcuate flexible elastic body connecting the first and the second openings; at least a portion of said middle arcuate flexible elastic body, in proximity to said first opening, is introduced into an ostomy skin barrier. Dl is greater than said ED-S such that the portion of the middle arcuate flexible elastic body is fixedly secured to the ostomy skin barrier in a tight-fit fluid-occlusive manner.
