Abstract
Abstract A belt for sustaining an article in site in the rectal or urogenital area formed by a waist-surrounding band having dependent dorsal and frontal aprons laterally adjustably held thereon and a bridge, engageable against the article to be held in situ, engaged by the ends of the aprons. In a form of the device for sustaining a rectal nozzle having an enlargement surrounding the nozzle tube distally of its rectum entering end, whose frontal surface abuts the stoma surrounding the anal opening, the bridge is rigid and is formed with an opening fitting about the nozzle tube with its edges abutting the distal end of the enlargement. The aprons are die-cut in nested relation from a sheet of pliable material with spaced openings formed at their upper edges through which the waist band is interlaced.
