Biodegradable composite films comprising a starch containing blended polymeric film and a barrier material coated or laminated to the blended film. The use of such composite films in ostomy pouches and other medical products is described. Also described is an ostomy pouch construction in which an adhesive label is affixed to the pouch so as to reduce the escape of odor from the stomal aperture.

Starch containing film ostomy pouches

Flexible, soft objects such as ostomy pouches, wound dressings, bandages, diapers, etc. can be flushed down a conventional toilet by wrapping or enclosing the article within a material that rapidly becomes slimy or exudes a slimy material on contact with the water in a toilet bowl or by adding such materials directly to the bowl.

Method of disposal of articles by flushing

Flexible, soft objects such as ostomy pouches, wound dressings, bandages, diapers, etc. can be flushed down a conventional toilet by covering the article with a sheet of material which rapidly becomes slimy or exudes a slimy material on contact with the water in a toilet bowl or by adding such materials directly to the bowl.

Means for disposal of articles by flushing and ostomy pouches

Flexible, soft objects such as ostomy pouches, wound dressings, bandages, diapers, etc. can be flushed down a conventional toilet by covering the article with a sheet of material which rapidly becomes slimy or exudes a slimy material on contact with the water in a toilet bowl or by adding such materials directly to the bowl. An ostomy pouch constructed from materials particularly suited for disposal in a toilet bowl is also disclosed. The pouch is constructed from laminates of water swellable, cold water insoluble films and water resistant tissue paper.
