A device for containing waste material leaking from the junction between a stoma and a stoma bag having a flange, the device comprising a flange extension member which circumferentially surrounds the stoma bag flange and wherein the flange extension member includes a pouch for holding a spare stoma bag. The flange extension member can comprise an absorbent layer and can be sealed to the user's skin at its outer edge. Additionally, the flange extension member can have a waterproof or impermeable backing layer to prevent waste material from seeping through it. The device can be included in a modified stoma bag flange and a modified stoma bag.

An ostomy appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an attachment part attached to the skin of a user; a cover assembly part disposed on the top surface of the attachment part and continuously dispensing plastic film into which excrement flows; and a sealing part that is coupled to one side of the cover assembly part and thermally seals a portion of the dispensed plastic film.

In general, the present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing ostomy faceplates configured to be positioned in close proximity to an incision, roll, crease, or fold. Embodiments of the present invention may include an ostomy appliance or faceplate with a non-circular flange for attachment of a bag or pouch. In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, the non-circular flange may include at least one substantially straight edge. The substantially straight edge may comprise a single line, or multiple lines or curves.

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 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 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.
