Abstract:
A body waste collecting device for attachment to the body comprising a collecting pouch (2) comprising a first wall and a second wall, the pouch being attached to an adhesive wafer (1), wherein a central portion of the wafer constitutes a part of the first wall of the pouch, the wafer comprises a permeable backing layer (3), at least one layer of an absorbent adhesive layer (5) wherein the wafer comprises a moisture impermeable layer (7) at least in the central portion.
Abstract:
A collecting device comprising a collecting pouch and an adhesive wafer for attachment to the body, said wafer comprising at least one low-modulus backing layer and an elastic adhesive gel layer comprising a polyalkyleneoxide polymer and an organosiloxane based cross-linked adhesive system.
Abstract:
A layered adhesive construction comprising a layer of a mouldable paste (6) wrapped in one or more wrapping layers (5), and comprising a first adhesive layer (3) attached to the wrapping layer on one outer surface of said layer of wrapped mouldable paste where the layered adhesive construction has a symmetrical shape around a central axis of symmetry (1) lying in the plane of the layers of the adhesive construction, and has a hole (2) going through the adhesive construction, which hole is placed with its center on said axis of symmetry so that it divides the central axis of symmetry in two parts; and where an area around at least one of said two parts of the central axis of symmetry consist of one or more backing layers (8) and a layer of adhesive on the same side of the adhesive construction as the first adhesive layer.
Abstract:
A convex shell (500) for use in a base plate of an ostomy appliance. The convex supporting device is a shell defined by an inner and an outer edge and having folding restriction means (507) for altering the flexibility of the convex shell when it folds or bends in use.
Abstract:
In a method and handheld device for capturing and digitally storing images of a wound, stoma, fistula or stoma wafer site, a representation of a view field of an optical lens of a camera is represented at a monitor. A marker is inserted in the representation of the view field in the monitor before an image is stored, the marker being configured to aid a user's positioning of the digital camera relative to the wound area, stoma, fistula or wafer. The patient holds the handheld wound and stoma imaging device in a position relative to his/her own body or in relation to the wafer, while the monitor is simultaneously viewable by the patient. Upon receipt of auser-input for effecting digital storage of the image in the view field, the image is stored in a memory of the handheld wound and stoma imaging device. The device may include a tablet device of smart phone suitably programmed by means of an applet, and optionally an adapter for facilitating the patient's handling of the device.
