Abstract

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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stomal diverter device, comprising:
a catheter including a body defining a first tube having an open end and a second tube spaced from the first tube and having a closed end, the first tube configured to be received within a first opening of a body vessel to receive bodily fluids, the second tube configured to be received within a second opening of the body vessel, and a drain tube defining an open end, the drain tube in fluid communication with the first and second tubes and configured to extend from an abdomen of a patient;
a stoma rod configured to be positioned between the first and second tubes, the stoma rod releasably attachable to the abdomen of the patient and having a mating feature; and
a bracket releasably supported on the catheter and the stoma rod, the bracket having a central circular portion defining an opening that receives the drain tube and a locking feature configured to engage the mating feature of the stoma rod to releasably secure the catheter between the stoma rod and the bracket to the abdomen of the patient.

2. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , wherein the stoma rod includes a lower surface, an upper surface, and a pair of posts extending from the upper surface, each post defining the mating feature.

3. The stomal diverter device according to claim 2 , wherein the lower surface of the stoma rod includes an adhesive pad configured to attach the stoma rod to the abdomen of the patient.

4. The stomal diverter device according to claim 3 , wherein the stoma rod includes a plurality of flanges extending from an outer surface thereof, each flange defining a hole therethrough, each hole configured to receive a fastener to secure the stoma rod to the abdomen of the patient.

5. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket includes:
an upper surface, a lower surface, and the central circular portion; and
a pair of legs extending from the lower surface, each leg defining the locking feature.

6. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking feature of the bracket includes at least one protrusion and the mating feature of the stoma rod includes at least one recess.

7. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , wherein the first tube includes an anchoring device on an outer surface thereof, the anchoring device configured to secure the first tube to the first opening of the body vessel.

8. The stomal diverter device according to claim 7 , wherein the anchoring device is at least one inflatable balloon that is selectively inflatable from a deflated position to an inflated position and selectively deflatable from the inflated position to the deflated position, wherein the inflatable balloon is configured to anchor the first tube to the first body vessel in the inflated position.

9. The stomal diverter device according to claim 8 , wherein the catheter includes a port that is in fluid communication with the at least one inflatable balloon, the port connectable to one of a source of inflation fluid or a source of vacuum.

10. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , wherein the second tube includes an anchoring device on an outer surface thereof, the anchoring device configured to secure the second tube to the second opening of the body vessel.

11. The stomal diverter device according to claim 10 , wherein the anchoring device includes a plurality of ribs.

12. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , further comprising an inflatable balloon disposed on an inner surface of the first tube, the inflatable balloon inflatable from a deflated position to an inflated position and deflatable from the inflated position to the deflated position, wherein the inflatable balloon is configured to obstruct the flow of digestive waste through the first tube in the inflated position.

13. The stomal diverter device according to claim 12 , wherein the catheter includes a port that is in fluid communication with the inflatable balloon, the port connectable to one of a source of inflation fluid and a source of vacuum.

14. The stomal diverter device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cap selectively attachable to the open end of the drain tube, the cap configured to obstruct the flow of bodily fluids through the open end of the drain tube.

15. A stomal diverter device, comprising:
a catheter including a body including a first tube having an open end and a second tube spaced from the first tube having a closed end, the first tube configured to be received within a first opening of a body vessel to receive bodily fluids, the second tube configured to be received within a second opening of the body vessel, and a drain tube in fluid communication with the first and second tubes;
a stoma rod positioned between the first and second tubes, the stoma rod releasably attachable to the abdomen of the patient; and
a bracket releasably supported on the catheter and the stoma rod, the bracket having a central portion defining an opening that receives the drain tube, the bracket adapted to releasably secure the catheter between the stoma rod and the bracket.

16. The stomal diverter device of claim 15 , wherein the stoma rod includes a lower surface, an upper surface, and a pair of posts extending from the upper surface, the lower surface of the stoma rod supporting an adhesive pad to facilitate attachment of the stoma rod to the abdomen of the patient.

17. The stomal diverter device of claim 16 , wherein each of the posts define a mating feature, and the bracket includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a pair of legs extending from the lower surface, each leg of the pair of legs defining a locking feature that is configured to be coupled to a respective one of the mating features of the stoma rod.
