Abstract:
A kit for collecting stool, comprising an adapter (1) for connecting the anus or a perianal stoma of a user to a peripheral device, said adapter comprises a flexible adhesive plate (2) having first through going hole, a flexible tube (3) extending from a first opening (11) to a second opening (12) and a first flexible coupling plate (4) having a second through going hole, wherein the flexible tube is attached to the flexible adhesive plate in an area surrounding the first opening and the flexible tube is attached to the first flexible coupling plate in an area encircling the second opening, allowing fluid communication from the first through going hole to the second through going hole through the flexible tube, and a peripheral device (20, 60) for coupling to the adapter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an adapter connecting the anus or perianal stomas to a peripheral device, such as a bag for collecting stool; a peripheral device, which is connectable to an adapter connecting the peripheral device to the anus providing a liquid tight fit; and a kit comprising an adapter and a peripheral device. The invention furthermore relates to an adapter, which allows for a flexible coupling between the adapter and the peripheral device when the flexible coupling flange of the adapter is coupled with a flexible coupling plate of the peripheral device. This has the advantage that when in use the flexible coupling will follow the contour of the body when pressure is applied providing a coupling which is more comfortable for the user and which also reduces the risk of creating ulcers for bedridden users who may have to lie on parts of or the whole adapter, peripheral device and/or the coupling there between.
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 %.
