Abstract
An ostomy coupling has first and second coupling elements. One has a flange carrying a wall upstanding therefrom, the free end of this wall having an inwardly or outwardly extending sealing and latching member. The other coupling element has an inner (second) annular wall surrounding a stomal orifice and, radially outwardly therefrom, a third annular wall. The second or the third annular wall carries a projection arranged to cooperate with the free end of the sealing and latching member. The inner or outer surface of the first annular wall as the case may be and a confronting surface of the second or the third annular wall are tapered in a complementary manner.
