Abstract
A connecting ostomy device for coupling a collecting bag to a fixing device (10) includes a first joining part (16) connected to the fixing device and a second joining part (12) connected to the collecting bag. The joining parts interact by adhesion in a plane practically perpendicular to the axes of orifices (14) of the collecting bag of the fixing device in such a way that the transmission of the bag weight and the impermeability thereof are ensured by adhesion. The additional fixing elements (18, 20) ensure the alignment of the orifices (14) of the fixing device (10) and the collecting bag in a position thereof which is practically determined before the removal of the protective film from an adhesive surface. The connecting device is used for ostomy.
