Ostomy appliance components providing low profile containment of waste from a surgical stoma. Waste collection pouch configuration, positioning, and positioning structure relate to potential advantages in manufacturing and operation of components.

The present invention relates to a single-use container (200) manufactured from sheet material, the single-use container comprising: a base (206), wherein the base is flat and forms a surface on which the single-use container can stand,a front wall (201), a right wall (202), a left wall (203) and a rear wall (204) which extend upward from the base, wherein the front wall and the rear wall are convex, and wherein the right wall and left wall are concave, an upper end (207) which connects the front wall, right wall, left wall and rear wall.

A stoma cover includes a hood and an adjustment band. The hood extends between a proximal end and a closed distal end. The adjustment band is connected to the proximal end. The adjustment band allows the hood to adjust between a first open size at the proximal end that is sized for placement over the stoma and a second size that is smaller than the first open size. The second size is adapted to secure the hood relative to a root portion of the stoma. A moisture absorbing material is disposed inside of the hood, where the moisture absorbing material is provided to absorb stomal output exuding from a meatus of the stoma.

Urine collection bags, kits including urine collection bags, methods of collecting urine, and methods of manufacturing urine collection bags are disclosed herein. A urine collection bag includes an outer profile, an inner profile, and first and second external layers. The first and second external layers are sealed around a first periphery to define the inner profile. The inner profile has a container portion and an elongated portion.

Male protector for containing emissions and/or leaks of fluids originating from the penis, comprising: a first cylindrical part, shaped like a sheath, with a longitudinal lateral cut in axial direction and a fastening band at its proximal end, arranged on the circumference of the cylinder, composed of a supporting elastic and a closure means; andan apical capsule, attached to the first cylindrical part, closed at its other distal end.

A surgical infant diaper. The surgical infant diaper includes a flexible body having an interior layer and an exterior layer, wherein the flexible body further includes a front portion, a rear portion, and a central portion therebetween. The flexible body is movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the closed position an upper opening and a pair of leg openings are defined. A central aperture extends through the front portion, wherein the central aperture is positioned to receive a penis of the wearer therethrough.

The invention discloses an ostomy accessory (20) for an intestinal stoma of a mammal ostomy patient, adapted to be used together with an implanted constriction device with an artificial closing sphincter function for closing the intestinal passageway. The ostomy accessory is adapted to absorb secret from the mucosa wall of the part of the intestine which is distal to the constriction device, which may secrete or disseminate some liquid matter, which may thus spill out and cause discomfort to the patient, for example by staining the clothes of the patient. The ostomy accessory comprises an insertion portion (21) for insertion into said intestinal stoma and comprising an absorbing body (23, 24, 25) for absorbing and retaining liquid matter consisting of liquid secreted from a mucosa wall of the intestine (31). The accessory (20) also comprises an outer part (22) attached to the insertion portion and adapted to seal said stoma (5) together with the insertion portion (21), the outer part (22) comprising a liquid non-permeable layer in order to allow the absorbing body to retain absorbed liquid secretions from the mucosa wall so that the mucosa wall does not dehydrate.

Infant care apparatus and system comprising a tray molded in the shape of an infant's body; and fastening devices to fasten the tray around the caregiver's chest, to provide safe kangaroo care to infants. Some embodiments may include sensors to monitor the infant's physiological parameters, and/or a negative pressure ventilator and/or an automated urine and feces collection and disposal system, and/or an external cardiac compression system, and/or electroencephalograph cap, and/or a heat pump to maintain infant body temperature; and/or light emitting diodes to provide phototherapy; and/or an aspirator for suctioning secretions from nose and/or mouth of infant; and/or warm mist generating apparatus to humidify air around the infant. It may include a networking module for transmission of sensor data to and receiving of operating commands from remote servers accessible by medical professionals. The invention thus also provides safe and easy-to-operate intensive care for infants, along with kangaroo care.

Disposable absorbing closures for liquid and semi-liquid intestinal wastes from intestinal openings. In particular, an absorbent insert device for insertion through an ileostomy of a subject, the device being configured to absorb and/or collect intestinal waste inside the ileum of the subject to form a leak-tight closure of the ileostomy, the device including: an expandable elongated body having an initial length and including an absorbent material, and withdrawal means attached to the elongated body, wherein the expandable elongated body is configured to: expand radially upon insertion into the ileum through the ileostomy; and optionally expand longitudinally thereby increasing the length of the elongated body inside the ileum.

A feces collection sheet (S), which has a cylindrical shape and includes: an upper sheet (1) having a feces receiving portion (2) in a center of the upper sheet (1); and a lower sheet (9), which is provided so as to extend from both of a right-side edge portion and a left-side edge portion of the upper sheet (1) and is configured to define a gap with the upper sheet (1) to allow insertion of a toilet seat therethrough. The upper sheet (1) and the lower sheet (9) are made of a material having a water-soluble material property. The upper sheet (1) has a folded piece portion (10) adapted to be unfolded to enable the feces receiving portion (2) to form a three-dimensional shape that bulges toward the lower sheet (9).
