Base plate and a sensor assembly part for a medical appliance
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.
Ostomy appliance with layered base plate
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.

Method of providing an ostomy device that is shape-adjustable to conform to a bulge or a hernia associated with a stoma
We disclose a method of providing a user or a healthcare worker with an ostomy device that is shape-adjustable to conform to skin around a stoma associated with a bulge or a hernia. The ostomy device is configured to invert from a storage configuration to a use configuration by inverting a substantially convex shape of a proximal side of a base plate to a substantially concave shape and stabilizing the base plate in the use configuration by contacting the inner radial periphery of the reinforcing structure with a distal surface of the base plate.
Disposable wearing article with improved air permeability and manufacturing method therefor
An elastic film stretchable structure in which an elastic film is stacked between a first sheet layer having air permeability and a second sheet layer having air permeability, the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are bonded through bonding holes penetrating the elastic film at a number of sheet bonded portions arranged at intervals. A region having the elastic film stretchable structure has a stretchable region that is stretchable in a stretchable direction, and the stretchable region is contracted in the stretchable direction by a contraction force of the elastic film and is extensible in the stretchable direction, and vent holes are formed on the elastic film at sites where the elastic film does not overlap with the sheet bonded portions.

Base plate and sensor assembly of a medical system having a leakage sensor
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.
Product bag retention assembly
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.

PORTABLE URINE COLLECTION SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS
Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. The fluid collection device a urine collection device, a first conduit, a urine collection bag having an interior region, a second conduit, and a modular pump. The urine collection device is configured to be positioned proximate to a urethra of a user. The first conduit is in fluid communication with the fluid collection device. The second conduit is in fluid communication with the interior region of the urine collection bag. The modular pump is configured to pull a vacuum and draw urine from the urine collection device through the first conduit and force the urine through the second conduit into the urine collection bag.
