Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9013274A1] An incontinence device comprising a generally tubular soft latex shape (120) open at one end (122). The other end (124) is smoothly curved and tapered inwardly (128) to the opening (126) with the latex of minimal thickness and coated on the outside adjacent the opening (126) with a suitable adhesive for contact with the skin about the anal opening. The lower end (122) is partially folded and clipped. The shape and material of the device permits the device to fully stretch and shrink with the anal opening while remaining adhesively affixed to the skin. An extended polyvinyl chloride/urethane mixture of similar elasticity, flexibility and elongation may be substituted for the latex. Because of the very thin wall thickness, the device may be formed as a flat hollow body (120) which expands in use.
