Abstract
A method for assembling an ostomy bag and drain assembly, a drain assembly, and an adaptable connector to provide both greater discreet drainage of the urine waste from an ostomy bag and greater control of the flow of the urine waste. The method includes providing a connector having a barrel body, directing the connector into engagement with a mating feature of the ostomy bag, directing a flexible conduit over an end of the connector to connect and seal the flexible conduit to the connector, and directing a distal end of the flexible conduit onto a discharge valve to attach and seal the flexible conduit to the connector. The barrel body engages the mating feature to establish a leak-free interface with the first portion or the second portion corresponding to a diameter of the mating feature. A drain assembly and adaptable connector are also disclosed.
