A garment includes an ostomy support garment that includes one or more slits configured to be adjacent to the front of an ostomy pack of a user, wherein the one or more slits are configured to open upon the ostomy pack being filled. The garment further includes an elastic material portion located on a back side of the garment and at least covering the one or more slits, wherein the elastic material portion is located adjacent to the front of the ostomy pack.

The present technology provides a urine collection device for collecting a urine sample. The device comprising a seat portion supported by a seat base. The seat portion comprises a backrest and a saddle that projects from the seat portion. The saddle comprises an opening to a collection element that comprises a cup mount to locate a urine collection cup within the collection element.

A stomal diverter device includes a catheter, a stoma rod, and a bracket. The catheter includes a first tube having an open end, a second tube spaced from the first tube having a closed end, and a drain tube. The stoma rod is positioned between the first and second tubes and includes structure to releasably attach the stoma rod to the abdomen of the patient. The bracket is supported on the catheter and the stoma rod and defines a locking feature that is configured to engage a mating feature of the stoma rod to secure the catheter between the stoma rod and the bracket.

Disclosed herein are form-fitting garments configured to hold an ostomy pouch close to the body via a shaped interior pocket creating a barrier between the pouch and skin of an individual. The garment may include a plurality of pockets such that an unused pocket may serve to hold additional supplies. The garment is preferably configured to have a maximum stretch in the horizontal direction allowing for the expansion of the pouch while having minimal stretching in the vertical direction to prevent the interior pocket and garment from sagging under the weight of the pouch.

A maintenance bag of an ostomy system can include fewer sensors than a diagnostic or analytic ostomy bag that is typically used for newer users. The maintenance bag can include sensors and electronics to detect fill level of the bag. The maintenance bag can also include a bag sealing mechanism that can detect drainage events and aid the user to track inventory of the bags. A wafer that can be used with an ostomy bag can include leak sensors configured to detect leak of effluent. The wafer can also include temperature sensors configured to detect inflammation. The wafer can further include a convex interface for better fit with certain users.
