Abstract
Colorectal cancer reaches the segment of large intestine and can also be found in rectum. It is ranked in Brazil as one of the most common types of cancer among men and women. In this work a design review was carried out with the main objective of verifying the best application for development of an artificial sphincter for individuals suffering from colorectal cancer. The proposed mechanical design was considered satisfactory since it was evidenced that this new artificial sphincter prototype function should be designed to avoid leakage of liquid feces as well as digestion gases. As conclusions, prosthesis operation should not be targeted as an application only for individuals who use the colostomy bag, but also for those who opted for another type of surgery to avoid colostomy.
