Executive Summary
Hoping to eliminate the stigma and inconvenience of ostomies, Zassi Medical Evolutions Inc. has developed a bag-free system for managing the waste that is redirected through a stoma in the abdominal wall. Zassi's Continent Ostomy Port system is designed to free patients from external collection devices taped to their stomachs. The company has signed a licensing and distribution deal with ostomy market leader Bristol-Myers Squibb's ConvaTec division.
