Abstract
An improved ostomy sealing gasket for application to the opening between the intestinal or urethral stoma of the patient and a post-surgical external pouch. The sealing gasket is made from a hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate with an alkylene glycol or polyalkylene glycol in the presence of a reducing agent and water. Embodiments designed for higher absorptive capacity also include an absorptive material such as natural or synthetic gums or a cellulosic material.
