Abstract From the Canadian patent

Of ARTICLES BY FLUSHING AND OSTOMY POUCHES PARTICULARLY SUITED FOR SUCH DISPOSAL, Flexible, soft objects such as ostomy pouches, wound dressings, bandages, diapers etc. can be flushed down a conventional toilet by covering the article with a sheet of material which rapidly becomes slimy or exudes a slimy material on contact with the water in a toilet bowl or by adding such materials directly to the bowl. An ostomy pouch constructed from materials particularly suited for disposal in a toilet bowl is also disclosed. The pouch is constructed from laminates of water swellable, cold water insoluble films and water resistant tissue paper.
