Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically, it relates to a double-layer ostomy bag. Background Technology
[0002] Ostomy is a common surgical procedure used in clinical practice, primarily in the treatment of diseases such as colon cancer, rectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. It involves creating an artificial opening (ostomy) in the abdominal wall to drain intestinal contents out of the body. Current ostomy bags are mainly single-layered structures, typically consisting of a plastic bag body and a connecting device that connects the bag body to the stoma in the abdominal wall.
[0003] This single-layer ostomy bag presents several problems in clinical application: First, its sealing performance is poor, making it prone to leakage during activities, leading to soiling of clothing and skin with excrement, causing embarrassment and inconvenience to patients; second, the single-layer structure cannot effectively isolate the odor from the excrement, resulting in a noticeable odor that affects patients' social activities and mental health; third, the excrement directly contacts the inner wall of the bag, easily causing skin irritation and allergic reactions, and long-term use may lead to skin damage around the stoma; fourth, traditional ostomy bags make it difficult to observe the contents, and patients find it hard to determine when to empty or replace them; fifth, the drainage mechanism is not convenient enough, the operation is complicated, or the entire ostomy bag needs to be replaced frequently, increasing medical waste and usage costs.
[0004] Existing single-layer ostomy bags suffer from poor sealing, easy leakage, noticeable odor, severe skin irritation, and difficulty in observation and drainage, leading to a decline in patients' quality of life, increased psychological burden, and increased workload for nursing staff. These problems mainly stem from the simple structure of traditional ostomy bags, which fail to effectively separate solid and fluid components, have an insufficiently secure connection to the stoma, resulting in incomplete sealing, and lack convenient drainage mechanisms and means of observing the contents. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a double-layer ostomy bag that can solve the problem of obvious odor in existing ostomy bags.

The valve plug is cylindrical, made of the same polypropylene material, 18 mm long, and 15 mm outer diameter. Its outer circumference has external threads that mate with the internal thread of the valve body. The end of the valve plug has a hexagonal protrusion with a side length of 10 mm and a height of 5 mm to assist in rotational operation. The sealing gasket, made of medical-grade silicone, is located between the valve plug and the valve body, 2 mm thick, with an outer diameter of 15 mm and an inner diameter of 12 mm.
[0054] A mesh-like reinforcing rib, made of medical-grade elastic polyester material with a thickness of 1 mm, is provided between the outer and inner bag bodies. It consists of 10 vertical reinforcing ribs and 8 horizontal reinforcing ribs arranged in an alternating pattern. The vertical reinforcing ribs are 240 mm long and 3 mm wide; the horizontal reinforcing ribs are 140 mm long and 3 mm wide.
[0055] The multi-layered fixing structure on the back of the outer bag includes a base layer, an adhesive layer, and a protective layer. The base layer is made of medical-grade flexible polyurethane material, 0.5 mm thick, with an outer diameter of 120 mm and a central circular opening of 65 mm in diameter. The outer edge of the base layer is bent inward to form an 8 mm wide annular fold, enhancing structural strength. The adhesive layer is made of medical-grade hydrocolloid material, 1 mm thick, offering excellent adhesion and skin-friendliness. The protective layer is silicone-treated release paper, 0.1 mm thick, for easy removal and use. This embodiment features a rationally designed double-layered ostomy bag structure, scientifically selected materials, and precisely calculated dimensions for each component, ensuring the product's effectiveness and comfort, making it particularly suitable for patients requiring long-term ostomy bag use.
[0056] Specifically, the principle of this utility model is as follows: The double-layer ostomy bag of this utility model is based on the technical principles of solid-liquid separation and multi-stage sealing, solving the problems existing in traditional ostomy bags through innovative structural design. First, the outer bag and inner bag form a double-layer collection system. The inner bag is made of anti-adhesion material, with micropores on the side walls and a "V"-shaped crease line at the bottom. This structure allows solid waste to be retained in the inner bag, while liquid components permeate through the micropores into the collection chamber of the outer bag, achieving effective solid-liquid separation and reducing odor and skin irritation. Second, the connecting ring adopts a "T"-shaped cross-section design. The horizontal part is heat-sealed to the bag body, and the vertical part forms an annular protrusion with an internal elastic sealing ring, which, together with the sealing cap, forms a multi-stage sealing system. The "L"-shaped latch on the sealing cap and the dovetail groove of the connecting ring form a mechanical lock to prevent accidental detachment, while the pointing positioning structure ensures correct installation. Third, the discharge valve adopts a threaded connection principle. Through the precise fit between the valve plug and the valve body and the auxiliary sealing of the sealing gasket, the safety and ease of operation of the discharge process are ensured. Fourth, the mesh-like reinforcing ribs utilize the principle of mechanical structural support to maintain an appropriate distance between the outer and inner bag bodies, preventing deformation and adhesion. Fifth, the multi-layered fixing structure and hydrophilic coating, based on ergonomic principles, improve wearing comfort and adaptability. Sixth, the funnel-shaped gravity guiding structure utilizes the principle of gravity to allow the contents to naturally converge at the discharge valve, facilitating complete emptying. Through the comprehensive application of these technical principles, this invention fundamentally solves the core problems of traditional ostomy bags, achieving structural optimization and functional improvement.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
