Adapters for a connector assembly for percutaneous tubing are provided. A male adapter (FIG.) includes a connector fitting () proximate a first end, the connector fitting configured to join to a connector for a tubing system or device, and a male connector () proximate a second end. The male connector includes a plug end with a fluid lumen defined therethrough, the plug end having a circumferential groove defined therein to receive a locking extension of a female connector sized to be received within the circumferential groove of the plug end to allow the female connector to rotate relative to and maintain axial engagement with the male connector when the locking extension is received within the groove. An adapter having a female connector (FIG.) is also provided.

Systems and methods for tubing delivery

Connector assembly (FIG.) includes a shell (), a connector body (), and a plug (). The shell () has a sidewall () defining an interior, a first shell end having a first opening () defined therein, and a second shell end having a second opening () defined therein, each of the first () and second openings () in communication with the interior to receive percutaneous tubing therethrough, the shell () further having an engagement portion. The connector body () has a first body end () and a second body end () with a tube lumen defined therethrough, the first body end () having a connector tip (), the connector body () having an engaging portion to engage the engagement portion of the shell (). The plug () has a first plug end and a second plug end with a fluid lumen defined therethrough, the first plug end having a plug tip () extending therefrom.

An ostomy appliance in which a collection pouch is provided with an adhesive faceplate, that may be equipped with a convex pressure ring, and in which a relatively stiff belt-attachment ring is interposed between the pouch and faceplate. Despite the stiffness of the belt-attachment ring and that of the convex pressure ring normally in close proximity it, the tab connectors of the attachment ring are readily accessible because the belt-attachment ring is supported in a limited 'floating' condition by a thin, highly-flexible, annular web. The web is secured to both the pouch and faceplate along an inner first sealing zone and joins the belt-attachment ring along a second concentric sealing zone spaced a substantial distance outwardly from the first zone.
