Abstract
A device for stabilizing the base of the nipple valves in a continent ileal reservoir with inlet and outlet nipple valves, includes a substantially annular member made of a biocompatible material, the annular member being pre-formed and permanently shaped to substantially define a ring. The ring has a radial slot formed therein to allow insertion of the annular ring member over the base of a respective nipple valve, with the annular ring member having an inner radius adapted to fit around said base. The annular ring member has first and second surfaces, with one of the surfaces facing the ileal reservoir outer wall, and through holes extending through said first and second surfaces for promoting a good adherence of the device to the surrounding soft tissue.
