Abstract:
The invention relates to an ostomy appliance comprising a body side member comprising an adhesive wafer or pad for securing the appliance to the user's skin, said wafer or pad having a hole for receiving a stoma, and an optionally separately exchangeable receiving member or bag secured to the body side ostomy member for receiving secretions from the ostomy, said ostomy appliance further comprising a separate sealing member disposed in the hole of the wafer or pad surrounding the stoma, said sealing member being of a hypo-allergenic adhesive and being in the form of a mouldable mass or a ring.
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 layered adhesive construction comprising a backing layer and a first and second layer of hydrocolloid adhesive, where the first and second layer of hydrocolloid adhesive have different composition, and the second layer of hydrocolloid adhesive is at least partly interposed between the first layer of hydrocolloid adhesive and the backing layer, the first and second adhesive layers consisting of a continuous phase and a discontinuous phase where the discontinuous phase of the first adhesive layer comprises a hydrocolloids providing a higher moisture absorption capacity and higher initial rate of absorption to the adhesive layer than the hydrocolloids in the discontinuous phase of the second adhesive layer, and the discontinuous phase of second layer of adhesive comprises hydrocolloids providing a higher cohesion following moisture absorption to the adhesive compared to the hydrocolloid in the discontinuous phase of the first adhesive layer.
Abstract:
A faecal management device suitable for attachment directly to the perianal skin between the buttocks of the wearer. The device utilises an optimised adhesive wafer (1) in order to securely attach the device to the skin of the wearer so that the device is maintained in position for the entire period of wear, including circumstances or periods of wear during which the wearer is active, i.e. not bedridden. In addition the faecal management device of the present invention has the ability for easy application of the device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a layered adhesive construct comprising a backing layer and a first and second layer of a hydrocolloid adhesive, where the first and second layer of hydrocolloid adhesive have different composition, and the second layer of hydrocolloid adhesive is interposed between the first layer of hydrocolloid adhesive and the backing layer where the first adhesive layer is a layer moldable adhesive paste comprising hydrocolloids having a Strain Recovery below 45 % and the second adhesive layer is a layer of hydrocolloid adhesive having a Strain Recovery above 55 %.

Abstract:
Adhesive compositions comprising a water-dispersible polyester shows a very rapid water absorption and improves the wet tack and is, at the same time, resistant to disintegration upon contact with body fluids.
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive adhesive composition suitable for medical purposes comprising a rubbery elastomeric base and one or more water soluble or water swellable hydrocolloids, said adhesive composition comprising a substantially homogeneous mixture of 25 - 60 % of one or more polybutenes, 3 - 35% of one or more styrene copolymers, and 20 - 60% of one or more hydrocolloids shows very good properties as an adhesive for ostomy appliances.
Abstract:
The collecting bag comprises a bag member (1) formed by two film blanks (2, 3) with joined edges, and a discharge portion (6) comprising a discharge opening. A closure device (7) at the discharge portion (6) for bringing the bag from a discharge position, in which the bag is open, to a position of use, in which the bag is closed, is accommodated in accommodating means (8) in the position of use of the bag. The accommodating means (8) comprises at least one open receptacle formed in said bag member (1) and has a basis portion (9) in which said film blanks (2, 3) are undetachably connected to each other. The accommodating means may comprise a retaining element in the form of a strip (10) having at least one engagement section for releasable engagement with a corresponding section or corresponding sections on said bag member (1) or on the opposite end of said retaining element.
