Abstract My invention is an improvement of all open end ostomy appliances used to collect feces or urine from bodies which eliminate food and water residues through a surgically created opening generally called stoma. My ostomy bag will not be open at the end, as all ostomy appliances are. Instead it will be open on the upper left or right side of it. This improvement will eliminate one problem and greatly reduce another one. (a) It will eliminate the rubbing caused by the tail end closure--a variety of clasps usually made of plastic materials--which pinch, prick, and hurt the crotch and the tender parts of the body near it. (b) It will greatly reduce the risk of spillage, which occurs too frequently due to the pressure of the collected secretion on a clasp--any clasp used for closing an ostomy appliance. When this happens, the contents of the bag are released into the user's underwear and down his or her legs, causing some very embarrassing and uncomfortable situations. Those clasps also open frequently, even if the amount of the collectedrefuse in the appliance is rather small. It may open when ostomates work in a crouching position, or during physical exercises, because a moveable part of the body--that is the upper parts of a leg--will often cause the clasp lose its grip. Also a clasp may weaken before one would expect that to happen. But if the opening of an appliance is in its upper part the spillage will be much lesser even if the clasp ceases to work. Moreover, the clasp will be located above the crotch, near a part of the body which is less active, and therefore less prone to cause the opening of the clasp. But, more importantly, the pressure of the collected feces and urine on the clasp will be considerably smaller in those upper location.
