Urine collection device
The present disclosure is related to devices for controlling the flow of urine primarily for bedridden patients while in a hospital setting. A device for protecting a patient from constant exposure to urine which may lead to discomfort, skin irritation, infection and subsequent death. The device is designed to secure the genitalia in a leak proof chamber and draw urine away from the skin.
Male Incontinence Pad
Male incontinence pad having an outer absorbent pad, an inner lining and an inner adsorbent pad, each having an aperture that together form a channel for receiving a male member. The male incontinence pad is folded around the male member to form a pocket that in use operates to absorb any discharge from the male member.
SYSTEM FOR APPLYING A STOMA COVER
A system including a stoma cover and an applicator for applying a stoma cover for temporarily covering a stoma during exchange of an ostomy appliance. The stoma cover has a hood-like element with a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, wherein the proximal end portion of the hood-like element is configured to be adjustable to provide for a stoma entrance of the stoma cover to be of variable size, which can be manipulated using the applicator. Also disclosed is a stoma cover and a kit of parts.
ABSORBABLE ARTICLE
An absorber 4 is interposed between a front-surface sheet 3 and a back-surface sheet 2, and side sheets 7 are respectively disposed along a longitudinal direction on both side parts of a skin side. The front-surface sheet 3 contains non-thermally fusible fiber, and the back-surface sheet 2 and the side sheets 7 contain thermally fusible resin. Fusion parts 10 allowing the side sheets 7 and the back-surface sheet 2 to be thermally fused under a state of the front-surface sheet 3 interposed therebetween are arranged in areas corresponding to side parts outer than the absorber 4 in a width direction, and the areas include the front-surface sheet 3 interposed between the side sheets 7 and the back-surface sheet 2, and include at least front and back end parts of a sanitary napkin 1. The front-surface sheet is prevented from delaminating and tearing accompanied therewith when non-thermally fusible fiber is used in the front-surface sheet.
Using wicking material to collect liquid for transport
A container for collecting liquid for transport, includes a shell having a port adapted for receiving tubing and configured to define a chamber that has a window in an exterior surface of the shell. The window is so positioned that when a wicking material, which is adapted to be applied against a particular source of moisture and which is so dimensioned that when the wicking material is received within the shell and applied through the window to the particular source of moisture, the shell is at least partially closed so that when tubing is inserted through the port into the shell chamber and the shell is otherwise closed a partial vacuum can be created within the shell chamber to draw moisture into the shell chamber through the wicking material for collection as a liquid within the shell chamber for transport from the shell chamber via the tubing. A wicking material applicator includes a material having openings and formed to define an extended hollow framework about which the wicking material can be, or is, disposed.
MEDICAL DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE RELEASE OF WASTE CONTENT FROM A SUBJECT, USES AND METHOD THEREOF
The present disclosure relates to a compact medical device and method for controlling the release of waste content from an external stoma of a subject, comprising: a flange; wherein the flange comprises a vent hole and a vent cover for releasing gas waste content; an adhesive layer bound to the flange for attaching to the body of the subject; a displaceable cover for closing and opening the device, wherein the displaceable cover is configured to connect to the flange; an aperture configurated to surround the stoma for the release of waste content.
Body side member of an ostomy appliance
An ostomy appliance comprising a body side member (20) for attachment to a skin surface of a user. The body side member includes a backing layer (22), an adhesive layer (24), and at least one release liner (38). The release liner is at least partly embossed (40) to form interconnected cavities (42) between the release liner and the adhesive surface. When fluid is distributed into the cavities, the adhesive surface is wetted.
IMPROVEMENTS TO INCONTINENCE ASSISTANCE APPLIANCES AND GARMENTS
An incontinence assist appliance for a user comprises an envelope including a surface, such as an upper outside surface, for contact with the user. A removable bladder is receivable within the envelope and includes a port for attachment of a catheter which passes through an opening in the outer envelope. The bladder contains a urine absorbing substance so that it avoids spills of liquid urine. The envelope may be formed as a wearable garment. A pair of trousers incorporating the appliance in each leg is also provided.
FLUID COLLECTION GARMENTS
Examples relate to garments, systems, and methods for fluid collection or removing fluids from a fluid collection device. The fluid collection garments include a fabric body configured to be worn on the pelvis of a wearer, where the fabric body has a port thereon or therein, where the port holds a fluid collection device therein. The fluid collection device is shaped to complement the female anatomy or male anatomy near the urethra. The fluid collection device can include a vacuum source in fluid communication with the fluid collection device via one or more sections of conduit.
