Patent attributes
In a reusable collecting bag such as a stoma bag (1) having a narrowed discharge portion (8) including a slit-like discharge opening in the vicinity of its distal end the discharge portion (8) is brought from an open position for emptying the bag through the discharge opening (9) and a closed position of use by folding and unfolding the discharge portion (8) about at least one folding line (24) transverse to the longitudinal direction of the discharge portion (8). To avoid or reduce faecal contamination of the discharge portion (8) in connection with emptying of the bag a series (16, 18) of sequentially peelable stacked protective members (17, 19) is applied to each of two surface sections of the discharge portion (8) adjacent the discharge opening (9).
