Abstract:
An ostomy appliance body side member or an ostomy appliance comprising an adhesive wafer having a first adhesive surface for securing the appliance to the user's skin, said wafer having a second surface being covered with a carrier sheet which wafer has a hole for receiving a stoma wherein a part of the adhesive wafer surrounding the stoma shows balanced plastic and elastic properties allowing an adaptation of the size of the hole of the ostomy appliance to a stoma by enlarging the hole for accommodating the stoma by rolling up the inner rim thereof forming a torus and wherein a part of the second surface of the wafer surrounding the hole shows surface properties compatible with the first adhesive surface of the adhesive wafer locking the torus to the second surface in its rolled position by the contact between the second surface and the first adhesive surface enables a simple, safe and reliable customisation of the hole of a body side member without the use of tools and at the same time provides means for reducing the risk of causing injury to or constriction of the stoma.
Abstract:
The current invention relates to radially divided adhesive wafers for applying to the skin of a human, and which increases the wear time of such adhesive wafers. The adhesive wafer comprises an inner annular adhesive layer, an outer annular adhesive layer encircling the inner annular adhesive layer, an attachment zone for attaching a collection bag, provided on the distal side of the adhesive wafer, and connection means for mechanically connecting the first annular adhesive layer to the second annular adhesive layer, wherein the connection means comprises a first and a second connection area on the distal side of the respective first and second annular adhesive layers, wherein at least one of the connection areas are arranged in a radial distance from the radial edges of the respective annular adhesive layer. By providing an adhesive wafer as described, it has been shown that the time before a leakage occurs may be increased. In many cases, the leakage is even prevented. This results in the user being able to wear the adhesive wafer for a longer period of time.
Abstract:
A body waste collecting device comprising a collecting pouch and an adhesive wafer for attachment to the body, said adhesive wafer comprises a backing layer, a first adhesive and an additional second adhesive, wherein said additional second adhesive comprises a polyalkyleneoxide polymer and an organosiloxane based cross-linked adhesive system.
Abstract:
A body waste collecting, device comprising a collecting pouch and an adhesive wafer for attachment to the body, said adhesive wafer comprising a backing layer and a first, adhesive layer (11), said first adhesive layer comprising a liquid impermeable, moisture permeable adhesive composition wherein the adhesive wafer comprising an additional second adhesive (12) for sealing around a body opening.
Abstract:
A body waste collecting device comprising an adhesive composite that fastens a collecting bag to the skin is disclosed. The adhesive composite is highly moisture resistant while still being water absorbing. The adhesivecomposite comprises at least three layers, a backing layer, a moisture absorbing layer and a thin layer of vapour permeable, low-absorbing adhesive layer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ostomy appliance comprising a front wall and a rear wall of flexible material forming a bag, said rear wall having an opening for receiving a stoma, and being provided with an adhesive wafer for securing the appliance to a user's skin, said wafer having a hole being aligned with the opening for receiving the stoma, wherein the opening of the rear wall has an edge being adapted to be secured to a surface of the adhesive wafer facing away from the user in an attachment zone surrounding the hole of the wafer, and wherein a first part of the edge of the opening of the rear wall is permanently secured to the surface of the wafer in a corresponding first part of the attachment zone, and a second, remaining part of the edge of the opening of the bag is prepared for adhesive sealing of the same to the remaining second part of the attachment zone. This allows for a simple evaluation of the stoma area for cutting the wafer for adapting the same to the specific stoma and manipulation and location of an adhesive wafer in relation to the stoma is enabled.
Abstract:
The current invention relates to a base plate (1) for use with an ostomy device, wherein the base plate has a pulling tab that is folded back so that provides a discreet pulling tab with a reduced risk of getting caught in clothes.
Abstract:
