An outlet valve for an ostomy appliance comprises an axle defining a hollow bore for receiving a liquid output from the ostomy appliance. The axle comprises a curved lateral wall. An outlet element comprises a cap arranged concentrically with the axle and an outlet tube affixed to the cap. A valve opening is defined in the curved lateral wall. The cap is rotatable around the axle to move from a closed configuration in which the valve opening is not in liquid communication with the outlet tube to an open configuration in which the valve opening is in liquid communication with the outlet tube. The outlet valve further comprises an outlet element seal configured to provide: sealing between the cap and the axle around a circumference of the axle; and sealing between the valve opening and the intake opening when the outlet element is in the closed configuration.

Outlet valve for an ostomy appliance

A coupling assembly for an ostomy appliance that has a locking arrangement, a first coupling and a second coupling. The locking arrangement has a locking ring and first and second grips mounted to the locking ring. The locking ring is mounted to first and/or second coupling, forms an inner circumference and is adjustable between locked and unlocked configurations. In the locked configuration the locking ring is for maintaining the first and second couplings in a coupled configuration and the inner circumference is less than in the unlocked configuration. The first and second grips are positioned about the locking ring to be moveable towards one another to increase the inner circumference and adjust the locking ring from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration.

Ostomy appliance coupling assembly

A coupling assembly according to certain embodiments is configured for use with an ostomy appliance, and generally includes a first coupling, a second coupling, and a clamp arrangement. The second coupling is mounted to the first coupling and surrounds at least a portion of the first coupling. The clamp arrangement is mounted to the second coupling and surrounds at least a portion of the second coupling. The clamp arrangement generally includes a clamp ring and a clamp lock. The clamp ring includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a continuous body extending between the first end portion and the second end portion. The clamp lock is operable to selectively couple the first end portion with the second end portion to thereby discourage separation of the first coupling from the second coupling.

The present disclosure provides a coupling assembly () for an ostomy appliance () comprising a clamp arrangement (), a first coupling and a second coupling. The clamp arrangement () comprises a clamp ring () mounted to the first and/or second coupling and a clamp locked mounted to the clamp ring (). The clamp ring () comprises an inner circumference () adjustable between clamped and unclamped configurations. In the clamped configuration the clamp ring () is for maintaining the first and second couplings () in a coupled configuration. The clamp lock () is adjustable into a locked configuration to lock the clamp ring () in the clamped configuration. The clamp lock () comprises a clamp actuator () moveable radially relative to the inner circumference () to unlock the clamp lock () from the locked configuration.
