Disclosed is an ostomy device with an adhesive wafer for attachment to a skin surface (S) of a user and a collecting bag (8) or collecting output from a stoma. The collecting bag is connected to the adhesive wafer, and the adhesive wafer has a through-going hole (6) for accommodating the stoma (7) of the user. The adhesive wafer includes a backing layer (3), a first switchable adhesive composition (2), a second absorbent adhesive composition (1), and a release liner, and the second adhesive layer has a central portion with a first thickness and an edge portion with a second thickness, the first thickness being larger than the second thickness.

An ostomy appliance wafer has a skin facing layer of adhesive applied to a proximal side of a film layer to define a proximal skin facing surface of the ostomy appliance wafer, and the skin facing layer of adhesive has a thickness in a range between 25 to 200 micrometers.

Silicone gels are described that are adhesive to the skin. The gels are able to be used in particular for articles that are adhesive to the skin for medical or paramedical use.

A device for collection waste from a body includes a collecting pouch and an adhesive wafer connected to the collecting pouch for attaching the collecting pouch to the body. The adhesive wafer includes at least one intermediate layer of adhesive, a skin facing layer of adhesive, a first film layer, and a second film layer. The first film layer is formed of backing layer material, and is positioned between the skin facing layer of adhesive and the intermediate layer of adhesive. The second film layer is formed of backing layer material. The second film layer is positioned adjacent to the intermediate layer of adhesive on an opposite side of the intermediate layer of adhesive from the first film layer. The first film layer is configured to reduce a peel force of the adhesive wafer.

An adhesive composition is provided that is adapted for attachment to skin. The adhesive composition includes styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene, polyolefin, polybutene, wax, polyacrylic acid, and an absorbent material.

Silicone gels are described that are adhesive to the skin. The gels are able to be used in particular for articles that are adhesive to the skin for medical or paramedical use.

Disclosed is an adhesive composition, devices including the adhesive composition and uses of the devices including the adhesive composition. The adhesive composition is for attachment to skin and includes an adhesive polymer component selected from a mixture of a polyethylene copolymer and polypropylene glycol (PPG), and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer. The composition further includes polyolefin, polybutene, polyacrylic acid (PAA), and at least one further absorbent material.

Moisture-curable adhesive compositions, their preparation and use are disclosed herein. The moisture-curable adhesive compositions include one or more reactive polymers, such as reactive silicone polymers, one or more adhesive components, such as a silicone pressure sensitive polymer(s) (PSAs), a cross-linker and a catalyst. Typically, the reactive silicone polymer or polymers are hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) having at least two hydroxyl functionalities associated with the polymer(s).

The present invention relates to an ostomy device for contacting a stoma. The present invention also relates to the use of an ostomy device for contacting a stoma and a kit of parts for preparing an ostomy assembly or system.

A parent artery occlusion (PAO) device which provides for immediate occlusion of a cerebral artery to isolate a defect. The PAO device includes a self-expanding wire-frame prolate structure which is partially covered with an ePTFE membrane.
