A body side member of an ostomy appliance comprising a nonwoven element comprising a releasable material. Contact of the nonwoven element with liquid allow release of the releasable material from the nonwoven element. The releasable material may act to neutralise enzyme activity or pH of stomal exudate.

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.

A skin compatible component attachable to mammalian skin. The component is formed as a silicone matrix comprising a polyorganosiloxane derived silicone polymer and moisture control particulate distributed within the polymer network being configured to absorb moisture from the skin. The skin compatible component may be utilised as an ostomy wafer or flange to secure an ostomy appliance to the skin and in particular peri-skin.

An ostomy device includes a nonwoven element having a water-soluble component and a releasable material. When the ostomy device is applied to a user and stomal output contacts the distal surface of the nonwoven element, the water-soluble component dissolves and releases the releasable material from the nonwoven element to neutralize at least one of enzyme activity and pH of the stomal output.

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.

[Objective]

To provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent for skin containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent for skin that has favorable shape retention properties and skin-follow up properties without being adversely affected by moisture from excrement or the like even when adhered to the skin over a long period of time and yet leaves no adhesive residue after separation and a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for skin contains a base material and a layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive agent for skin.

[Means to Achieve Objectives]

A pressure-sensitive adhesive agent for skin contains 2 to 35% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer, 25 to 60% by weight of a hydrophilic polymer compound, 16 to 40% by weight of a softener, and 0.01 to 4.8% by weight of a physiologically active agent; and has a water absorption 3 hours after of 55 to 240% and a water absorption 24 hours after of 240 to 450%. A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for skin contains a base material and a layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive agent for skin that contains 2 to 35% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer, 25 to 60% by weight of a hydrophilic polymer compound, 16 to 40% by weight of a softener, and 0.01 to 4.8% by weight of a physiologically active agent and is formed on one side of the base material; and has a water absorption 3 hours after of 55 to 240% and a water absorption 24 hours after of 240 to 450%.

Disclosed is a base plate 1 for an ostomy collection device, comprising a cover layer 2 whereon an adhesive layer 3 is at least partly disposed. Immediately surrounding a through-going hole 6, the base plate has an inner area wherein the cover layer extends beyond the adhesive layer in a radial direction toward the through-going hole, thereby providing an overlap 7 protecting the adhesive material from contact with stomal output.

Hydrocolloid compositions, wound dressings, methods of using such compositions and such wound dressings, and methods of forming such hydrocolloid compositions, wherein the hydrocolloid compositions include a hydrophobic, unsaturated, elastomeric polymer; a hydrocolloid absorbent; and a hydrophilic polymer including an unsaturated polymer backbone having polyalkylene ether groups bonded thereto.

An adhesive wafer (10) for an ostomy device, the wafer comprising a skin-facing adhesive layer (40), a backing layer (30) on the non-skin-facing side of the adhesive layer, and a hole (60) for accommodating a stoma. On the central portion of the backing layer is located a release layer (110) being configured to release a neutralizer. The neutralizer is capable of neutralizing or at least minimizing the level of skin or adhesive aggressiveness of the output.
