An adhesive ostomy element comprising a backing layer (3) and having at least a first section (1) and at least a first adhesive (4) on a surface of said backing layer. In the centre is provided a stoma-receiving through-going hole (2) defining an inner boundary in said first section and said first section being adjacent to and extending radially from said through-going hole. At least a part of the portion of the first section is provided with a layer of absorbent foam (7) adjacent the hole. The foam expands towards the stoma when wetted and provides a seal against the stoma.

A base plate and/or a sensor assembly part for an ostomy appliance is disclosed, the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part comprising a first adhesive layer with a proximal side configured for attachment of the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part to the skin surface of a user, the first adhesive layer having a stomal opening with a center point; and a plurality of electrodes including a ground electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode, the ground electrode comprising a ground connection part, the first electrode comprising a first connection part, and the second electrode comprising a second connection part; wherein the ground electrode forms a ground for the first electrode and the second electrode.

A base plate of an ostomy appliance includes a first adhesive layer and a masking element. The first adhesive layer includes a stomal opening with a center point and a proximal surface configured to be attached to a skin surface of a user. The masking element is arranged on a distal surface of the first adhesive layer and is more insulative than the first adhesive layer. A plurality of electrodes is arranged on the distal surface of the first adhesive layer, where each electrode includes a sensing part and a conductor part. The masking element is arranged between the conductor part of each electrode and the first adhesive layer. The electrodes are formed on a proximal surface of a support layer.

The disclosed is an ostomy system configured to detect a leakage of output between a base plate and/or a sensor assembly part of the ostomy system and a surface of a subject and a method of detecting the leakage of output. The ostomy system including the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part and a monitor device, the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part comprising (i) a first adhesive layer having a distal surface, a proximal surface, and a first plurality of openings, and (ii) an electrode assembly comprising a plurality of electrodes and a masking element between the plurality of electrodes and the first adhesive layer, the masking element having a second plurality of openings aligned with the first plurality of openings of the first adhesive layer, each of the aligned first and second plurality of openings exposes a portion of one of the plurality of electrodes to define one of a plurality of sensor points, the monitor device electrically coupled to the plurality of electrodes of the base plate and/or the sensor assembly part.

A product bag suspension assembly includes a rod having a first end, a second end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. A platform is operatively coupled to the second end of the rod and defines an aperture arrangement configured to receive a mounting device of a product bag. The rod is configured to suspend the product bag in an upright position when the product bag is coupled to the platform.

Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. A urine collection system includes a urine collection device configured to be positioned at least proximate to a urethra of a user, a canister having an interior region, a first conduit in fluid communication with the urine collection device and the canister, and one or more of a urine volume indicator, a flow indicator, and/or a pressure indicator.

A body side member of an ostomy appliance comprising releasable material provided in one or more overlays covered by individual cover layers. The releasable material is adapted to engage with stomal output to prevent breakdown of the adhesive attaching the ostomy appliance to the skin surface around a stoma of a user. The cover layers are individually removable and can be removed one at a time to release the releasable material.

A complementary-material element configured to be attachable to a base plate of an ostomy appliance and comprising a release layer, the element comprising a release layer comprises a neutralizing component configured to be releasable from the complementary-material element in response to subjection of the complementary-material element to moisture. The complementary-material element comprises a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is provided with a first cover layer.

A method for operating an accessory device to guide the placement of an ostomy appliance on a user having a stoma. The method can include capturing an image or a sequence of images of the user applying the ostomy appliance to the user's body, processing the captured image or sequence of images, including: identifying a location of the stoma in one or more of the captured image or sequence of images, identifying a location of the ostomy appliance in one or more of the captured image or sequence of images, and generating location indicia representative of the location of the ostomy appliance with respect to the stoma in one or more of the captured image or sequence of images. A visual display including the location indicia associated with one or more of the captured image or sequence of images can be provided.

A closure assistant for colostomy bag clip is disclosed. The closure assistant helps a patient in closing and opening of the colostomy bag clip. The closure assistant consists of a flat panel with multiple slots on its upper surface. The slots are designed to fit different types of clips of the colostomy bag. The slots of the closure assistant are of different shapes to support different kinds of clips. The closure assistant accommodates either curved or linear type of clips. The closure assistant helps the patients, suffering from medical issues requiring an ostomy pouching system or colostomy bag and the related problems of using colostomy bag.
