Abstract
Abstract A stoma adaptor comprising an open tube of non-toxic material, having a proximal end for insertion into the lumen of a body orifice at a stoma site; a distal end at which the rim is turned outwards to form an annular lip having a concave underside geometrically continuous with the rest of the tube whereby an open live intestine advanced over the tube from the proximal end will take up a similarly flared configuration for attachment to the external periphery of the orifice; means for securing an open intestine to the outer surface of the tube; means for securing the tube to the body wall; and means for attachment to the tube, at the distal end thereof, of a fluid-tight stoma closure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A stoma adaptor comprising: an open tube of non-toxic material, having a proximal end for insertion into the lumen of a body orifice at a stoma site and a distal end, said distal end comprising a rim turned outwards to form an annular lip having a concave underside geometrically continuous with the rest of the tube, whereby an open live intestine advanced over the tube from the proximal end will take up a similarly flared configuration for attachment to the external periphery of the orifice; means for securing an open intestine to the outer surface of the tube; means for securing the tube to the body wall, said means for securing the tube to the body wall comprising tabs formed integral with the outer edge of said annular lip for underlying an adhesive sheet placed on the skin around the stoma, and further including holes in said annular lip adapted for suturing therethrough; and means for attachment to the tube, at the distal end thereof, of a fluid-tight stoma closure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
A stoma adaptor comprising: an open tube of non-toxic material, having a proximal end for insertion into the lumen of a body orifice at a stoma site and a distal end, said distal end comprising a rim turned outwards to form an annular lip having a concave underside geometrically continuous with the rest of the tube, whereby an open live intestine advanced over the tube from the proximal end will take up a similarly flared configuration for attachment to the external periphery of the orifice; means for securing an open intestine to the outer surface of the tube; means for securing the tube to the body wall, said means for securing the tube to the body wall comprising tabs formed integral with the outer edge of said annular lip for underlying an adhesive sheet placed on the skin around the stoma, and further including holes in said annular lip adapted for suturing therethrough; and means for attachment to the tube, at the distal end thereof, of a fluid-tight stoma closure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
An adaptor according to claim 2, wherein said means for securing the intestine comprises a circumferential ribbed configuration on the tube.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
An adaptor according to claim 1 wherein said stoma closure attachment means comprises grooves, slots or screw threads formed at the mouth of the tube to cooperate with fastening means on an accessory.
