The lugs flex independently of each other to provide plural 5 independent latching fastenings. The bracing member is moved between a bracing position in which the bracing member locks the lugs by resisting flexing movement, and a non-bracing or dismounted position in which the lugs are free to flex. The ostomy coupling is used with an ostomy pouch or with a controlled evacuation device. 10 Y: LouiseBMS Species 788751_speci doc1/9 34 38 24 .16 26..... .....F1. .
