Device for sealing bodily orifices, with neutral wearing comfort
The invention relates to a device for the optimal organ-tolerable sealing, with minimal irritation, of bodily orifices, said device consisting of an extremely thin-walled, externally fillable balloon body having a central tube piece connecting the interior of the intestine to the perianal region of the anus, the tube piece being made of a soft-film-type material with a low volumetric expandability, wherein in a preferred design, one end of the balloon, which during the production process is completely formed to its required final dimensions, is reverse folded through the other end, and both balloon ends are tight-fittingly interconnected in the region of the outer bodily orifice and a thin-walled, adhesive-coated soft-film proximally adjoins the connection region of the two balloon ends, allowing direct fixation of the device to the skin and thus completely eliminating rigid, potentially irritating components in the region of the anal canal and in the perianal region.
