Abstract
Abstract The clamp has an elongated body with a transverse bore which is intersected on an axial threaded hole originating at one end of the body. A transverse slot originating closer to the one end of the body tangentially intersects the bore closer to the one end of the body. A screw is threaded into the hole from the one end and bears on elastic lines (or cords) and tends to push them into the hole. When used with a colostomy pouch the clamp holds the usual retaining bead tight against the pouch connector and plate flange.
