Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a monitor device for an ostomy system, the monitor device comprising: a processor; memory; a first interface connected to the processor and the memory, the first interface configured for connecting to an ostomy appliance; and a second interface comprising a transceiver connected to the processor for transmitting monitor data according to a transmission scheme. The second interface is configured for connecting to one or more accessory devices. The processor comprises a transmission controller configured to control the transmission scheme, wherein to control the transmission scheme comprises applying a primary transmission scheme or a secondary transmission scheme different from the primary transmission scheme.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a system for determining and signalling moisture propagation in an adhesive material layer of a base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance. The disclosure further relates to aspects of a base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance and its use in such a system.
Abstract:
A method of injection moulding a urinary catheter in a mould cavity by use of a flow structure with a primary melt channel in simultaneous communication with a first secondary melt channel and a second secondary melt channel, where the first secondary melt channel is connected to a first injection point of the mould cavity for injection of the melt into the mould cavity from the first injection point, and where the second secondary melt channel is connected to a second injection point of the mould cavity for injection of melt into the mould cavity from the second injection point. To enable improved control and thereby enable moulding of a longer and slimmer catheter, and particularly a catheter with a long internal conduit, the method comprises injecting melt simultaneously from the first and second secondary melt channels into the mould cavity.
Abstract:
An ostomy appliance comprising a body side member (20) for attachment to a skin surface of a user. The body side member includes a backing layer (22), an adhesive layer (24), and at least one release liner (38). The release liner is at least partly embossed (40) to form interconnected cavities (42) between the release liner and the adhesive surface. When fluid is distributed into the cavities, the adhesive surface is wetted.
Abstract:
Embodiments provide a coupling system (3) for an ostomy appliance (1) comprising a sealing wafer (5) and a collecting bag (7). The coupling system comprises a first coupling part (9) and a second coupling part (11). The first and second coupling parts each encircle a stoma-receiving opening (17). The first and second coupling parts are configured to connect the sealing wafer to the collecting bag. The first coupling part comprises a first base portion (33), a second base portion (35) and a connecting portion (37) extending between the first and second base portions. The first base portion is arranged radially closer to the stoma-receiving opening than the second base portion. The first coupling part comprises an enclosed volume of air (10). The enclosed volume of air is enclosed at least in part by the first base portion, the second base portion and the connecting portion.
Abstract:
An ostomy appliance (20) including a sealing wafer (22) with a first adhesive (32) having a first opening (34) configured to be attached to a skin surface around an ostomy of a user, and a bag (36) for collecting stomal output that includes a second adhesive (44) configured to engage with the skin surface radially outside of the sealing wafer. The sealing wafer and the bag are configured to be connectible to each other either in direct connection or by a coupling interface. One kind of coupling interface includes one or more pipe sections (50). The ostomy appliance allows for differentiation of adhesive types for different purposes, such as sealing and load carrying.
Abstract:
A body side member of an ostomy appliance having backing film forming a distal surface, the distal surface including one or more individual pockets containing a moldable material that can exit the pockets.
Abstract:
An assembly (100) for an ostomy device (104) comprises a package (102). The package (102) comprises at least a first and a second package portion (106, 108) which are interconnected in such a way that the package (102) is in a closed state when the first and second package portions (106, 108) are in a first mutual position and such that the package (102) is in an open state when the first and second package portions (106, 108) are in a second mutual position. The assembly further comprises a release liner (110) which at least partially covers the adhesive front surface of the ostomy device (104) at least in the closed state of the package. At least a portion of the release liner (110) is attached to the package (102) or formed integrally therewith.
Abstract:
Moisture-curable adhesive compositions, their preparation and use are disclosed herein. The moisture-curable adhesive compositions include one or more reactive polymers, such as reactive silicone polymers, one or more adhesive components, such as a silicone pressure sensitive polymer(s) (PSAs), a cross-linker and a catalyst. Typically, the reactive silicone polymer or polymers are hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) having at least two hydroxyl functionalities associated with the polymer(s).
