Abstract

The present disclosure provides a coupling assembly (12) for an ostomy appliance (10) comprising a clamp arrangement (60), a first coupling and a second coupling. The clamp arrangement (60) comprises a clamp ring (61) mounted to the first and/or second coupling and a clamp locked mounted to the clamp ring (61). The clamp ring (61) comprises an inner circumference (62) adjustable between clamped and unclamped configurations. In the clamped configuration the clamp ring (61) is for maintaining the first and second couplings (20, 40) in a coupled configuration. The clamp lock (80) is adjustable into a locked configuration to lock the clamp ring (61) in the clamped configuration. The clamp lock (80) comprises a clamp actuator (81) moveable radially relative to the inner circumference (62) to unlock the clamp lock (80) from the locked configuration.
