Abstract
An ostomy filter for colostomy and ileostomy bags is gas-permeable to allow venting, and liquid-impermeable to prevent leakage. It includes a hydrogen sulphide adsorbent to remove smells. The filter comprises 9 to 50% by weight of particles of unsintered granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), 30 to 82% by weight of particles of comminuted sintered expanded porous PTFE, and 9 to 30% by weight of particulate water-insoluble H.sub.2 S adsorbent. The particles are fused together by baking at elevated temperature to form a gas-permeable liquid-impermeable network. The comminuted sintered expanded porous PTFE is preferably formed by comminuting uniaxially expanded PTFE fibre.
