Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ostomy appliance which can reduce the risk of adhesion between front and rear walls of a bag due to very low production of flatus causing vacuum-like condition in the bag and reduce the risk that the visceral contents reaching the opening part of the stoma do not immediately separate the front and rear walls and do not fall into the bottom of the bag, can selectively open or close the inlet of the bag and vent a small amount of gas from the appliance when necessary in order to avoid ballooning. SOLUTION: The ostomy appliance comprising the front wall and the rear wall of flexible material forming the bag, the rear wall having an inlet opening into the bag by which waste material can enter the bag and one of the walls having one or more vents through which gas can escape from the bag and optionally having a filter covering the vent and having an outlet opening, wherein the appliance is provided with a flap being sealable to the wall in a manner in which the flap covers the outlet opening of the filter and to be sealed to the wall in a manner wherein the flap is shifted to the side so that outlet opening of the filter is partially or fully open, which device is characterized in that one end of the flap is sealed to the wall in a manner allowing pivoting of the flap in the plane of the wall and that the flap has a surface which can be releasably sealed to the wall.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ostomy receiving bag easily adjustable in collecting capacity of the bag according to a use situation by folding the bag compactly when the collecting capacity in the ostomy receiving bag is small and putting the bag in an extended state when using the bag for many hours. SOLUTION: The ostomy receiving bag includes a front wall and a rear wall and has a top end and a bottom end. The top end of the rear wall has an inlet, and one wall has at least one first half of a fixation pair, and the at least one first half of the fixation pair is placed at the upper part of the receiving bag. The same wall has at least one second half of a fixation pair, so that when the first half and the second half of the fixation pair are attached, the volume of the receiving bag is reduced.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a convex shell (1) for use in a base plate of an ostomy appliance. The convex shell comprises an annular ring (5) defined by an outer edge (6) and an inner edge (7) defining a through-going hole (8). The annular ring further comprises at least four transition sections (9,10,11,12) extending transversely across the annular ring, dividing the annular ring into at least a first, second, third and fourth segment (15,16,17,18). By changing the characteristics of the convex shell in such sections, it is possible to control the bending of the shell and, as will be described herein, it will be possible to keep the area around the stoma more stable and resistant towards collapsing, while providing improved flexibility in the peristomal area for better comfort.

The convex shell (1) comprises an annular ring (5) defined by an outer edge (6) and an inner edge (7) defining a through-going hole (8). The annular ring has at least four grooved transition sections (10, 11, 12 , 13) extending transversely across the annular ring, dividing the annular ring into at least a first, second, third and fourth segment (15, 16, 17, 18). The grooved transition sections extend only partially across the convex shell.
Abstract:
A package for a disposable ostomy receiving bag, the package including a first compartment capable of accommodating a fresh ostomy receiving bag and a second compartment capable of accommodating a used ostomy receiving bag. The second compartment is sealable so as to confine the receiving bag which facilitates the handling of fresh and used bags and renders the user more independent of the availability of a lavatory.
Abstract:
An ostomy appliance comprising a front wall and a rear wall (1) of flexible material forming a bag, the rear wail having an inlet opening (2) into the bag by which waste material can enter the bag and one of the wails having one or more vents through which gas may escape from the bag and optional having a filter covering said vent and having an outlet opening (3), wherein the appliance is provided with a flexible flap (4) being sealable to the wall in a manner in which the flap is covering the outlet opening of the filter and furthermore to be a sealed to the wall in a manner wherein the flap is shifted to the side so that outlet opening of the filter is partially or fully open which device is characterised in that one end of the flap is sealed to the wall in a manner allowing a pivoting of the flap in the plane of the wall and that the flap has a surface which may be sealed to the wail reduces the risk of adhesion between the walls of the receding bag due to very low production of flatus causing vacuum-like condition in the bag and thus reduces the risk that visceral contents reaching the opening of the stoma will not immediately be able to separate the walls and "fall" into the bottom of the receiving bag but will rather stay and block the entrance to the bag and, at the same time, gives the option of allowing a minor amount of gas to pass out of the ostomy appliance according to need to avoid ballooning.
