Abstract:
A method of monitoring the pressure applied to an ostomy appliance during application to the skin, the ostomy appliance comprising an adhesive wafer comprising a backing layer facing away from the skin and an adhesive layer for attachment to the skin, the method comprising the steps of: providing sensing means capable of recording application of pressure to the wafer, applying the adhesive wafer to the skin surrounding the stoma by applying pressure to the sensing means and wafer and retrieving the recorded data from the sensing means.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an ostomy bag 1 having an outer rotatable adhesive fitting wafer 15 attached thereto. This offers a higher degree of customization to the user, as the user may cut the adhesive fitting wafer in such a way that it fits to the contour of the skin and the user may also rotate the ostomy bag relative to the wafer in order to achieve a desired orientation of the ostomy bag.
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 adhesive composite 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 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 polar plasticising oil or a combination of polar plasticising oils in the content of above 10% (w/w) of the final second adhesive, and at least one polar polyethylene copolymer, wherein the content of the polyethylene copolymer is 10-50% (w/w) of the final second adhesive, the polyethylene copolymer has a melt flow index below 2 g/10min (190°C/21.1 N).
Abstract:
