Abstract

See full text

A connection assembly for a drainage appliance, one portion attaching to the body of the patient, the other portion attached to the drainage collection bag. The connection allows the easy removal of the bag yet assures an easily lockable joint including a continuous seal between the two portions when connected together. The two portions fit together and resilient snap-fit elements create an initially sealed relationship. A rotating locking ring on the body portion can be rotated to lock the snap-fit elements in a non-resilient condition and locks the two portions together while still permitting relative rotational motion therebetween. The bag portion can be easily removed when the locking ring is moved to an unlocked position, thereby releasing the snap-fit elements.
