A system including a stoma cover and an applicator for applying a stoma cover for temporarily covering a stoma during exchange of an ostomy appliance. The stoma cover has a hood-like element with a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, wherein the proximal end portion of the hood-like element is configured to be adjustable to provide for a stoma entrance of the stoma cover to be of variable size, which can be manipulated using the applicator. Also disclosed is a stoma cover and a kit of parts.

A device includes a shell including a proximal end and a distal end of the shell. The device also includes a plunger within the shell. The plunger can include a flexible stop at a proximal end of the plunger and a distal end. The device can further include an absorptive unit configured to absorb fluid within a vaginal cavity. The absorptive unit can be affixed to the distal end of the plunger. The absorptive unit can include an absorptive element affixed to a frame structure configurable to reversibly transition between a compressed and uncompressed configuration. The absorptive unit can also include a tether coupled to the absorptive unit via the frame structure. The tether can extend through the proximal end of the plunger. Related methods of use are also described.

A device to direct a urine stream has a circular collapsing sheath with a plurality of collapsible circular components. The circular collapsing sheath has a distal opening and a proximal opening. Each one of the plurality of collapsible circular components has a diameter smaller than the preceding one and the collapsing sheath collapses to a flattened form when subjected to a compressing force. The circular collapsing sheath opens to an expanded form when subjected to an expanding force. The circular collapsing sheath defines a continuous membrane that forms a channel that directs the urine stream into a waste receptacle. The circular collapsing sheath is made from a water soluble material that allows the user to discard the used device. The device is placed in a sanitary sealed package with a tear strip enabling the user to remove and use the device.

Urinary catheter collection bags and methods for using the same are provided. The collection bags allow users to more easily, cleanly and comfortably open and empty the bags.

The present invention provides a circuit including a plurality of component parts formed on a substrate and having common functions, wherein the plurality of component parts each includes a detection part which shows responsiveness to moisture; wherein the responsiveness to moisture varies between the plurality of component parts; and wherein the presence or absence of a response to moisture detected by each detection part corresponds to a binary digital signal, and whereby the circuit outputs a sequence of binary digital signals.

Embodiments are directed to a fluid collection system for collecting and transporting urine away from the body. The system includes a fluid collection device positionable at least proximate to a urethra of a female user. The device includes a fluid impermeable enclosure, a fluid permeable membrane, a reservoir at least partially defined by the enclosure and the membrane, a porous body disposed in the reservoir, and a drain tube coupled to an intermediate region of the enclosure. The reservoir may be configured to receive fluid discharged from the user through the fluid permeable membrane. The tube may be positioned and configured to drain the fluid that flows through the porous body. The system further includes a vacuum source configured to draw fluid from the device by applying at least a partial suction force to the reservoir of the device and a fluid collection container in fluid communication with the tube.

A sanitary stoma system including at least eight absorbent sheets, with each of the sheets including absorbent plies. The plurality of absorbent sheets is arranged in a linear fashion and removably connected into a roll. The outermost absorbent sheet includes an adhesive such that the sanitary stoma system is configured into a stable roll useful for being placed upon a stoma of a user to absorb and contain bodily fluids excreted from the stoma, which may include urine or feces. Preferably, the sanitary stoma system is packaged in multiples of three and the sanitary stoma system is affixable to an abdomen of the user, configured to absorb bodily excretions.

Examples relate to fluid collection devices, systems, and methods of collecting fluid from wearers. The fluid collection devices include a retention means for maintaining the position of the fluid collection device with respect to the wearer.

The present invention relates to a single-use container manufactured from sheet material, the single-use container comprising: a base, wherein the base is flat and forms a surface on which the single- use container can stand, —a front wall, a right wall, a left wall and a rear wall which extend upward from the base, wherein the front wall and the rear wall are convex, and wherein the right wall and left wall are concave, an upper end which connects the front wall, right wall, left wall and rear wall.

A surgical infant diaper. The surgical infant diaper includes a flexible body having an interior layer and an exterior layer, wherein the flexible body further includes a front portion, a rear portion, and a central portion therebetween. The flexible body is movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the closed position an upper opening and a pair of leg openings are defined. A central aperture extends through the front portion, wherein the central aperture is positioned to receive a penis of the wearer therethrough.
