A ventriculostomy patch system is disclosed herein. The ventriculostomy patch system including a base-ring, and a window assembly. The base-ring includes a circular body, with the circular-body having an outer-surface, an inner-surface, a top-surface, and a bottom-surface. The bottom-surface includes a catheter-notch; the catheter-notch is configured for removably retaining a ventriculostomy catheter. The base-ring further includes at least two dome-tabs, each of the at least two dome-tabs located upon the outer surface of the base-ring. Preferably, the base-ring is constructed from anti-microbial materials. The window assembly includes an external-ring and a window, where the window assembly is removably affixable to the top-surface of the base-ring.

Embodiments of the disclosed invention comprise a urostomy bag and an absorbent insert system, as well as methods for use. The urostomy bag comprises a storage bag having a primary aperture for interacting with a stoma on a device wearer, and a secondary aperture having a closure to seal and unseal the secondary aperture. The absorbent insert comprises a water-permeable outer layer that contains an absorbent core. The core includes a gelatinizing agent configured to make urine gelatinous. The absorbent insert is insertable into, and removable from, the inside of the storage bag via the secondary aperture. Methods for use of the disclosed urostomy system comprise attaching the urostomy bag to a wearer, inserting an unused absorbent insert into the secondary aperture, wearing the system, and replacing the used absorbent insert when required.

A fastener device includes a first fastener part and a second fastener part which can be mounted on one another along a closing direction and are held against one another in a closed position, and are releasable from one another in order to open the fastener device. The second fastener part has a winding element on which a tension element can be arranged and which is rotatable relative to the first fastener part in order to wind up the tension element on the winding element in a winding direction.

In general, the present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing ostomy faceplates in proximity to negative pressure wound devices. This may be achieved, for example through the use of an ostomy appliance or faceplate with a non-circular flange for attachment of a bag or pouch. In accordance with some embodiments, this non-circular flange may be substantially “D”-shaped, and/or have at least one substantially straight edge. In some embodiments, the ostomy faceplate may itself be noncircular and/or “D”-shaped; may include a cutting guide for cutting materials used with an NPWD; may contain an asymmetrically located aperture; and/or may comprise one or more tapered edges.

A mounting assembly for an ostomy appliance is disclosed. The mounting assembly comprises a body flange comprising a flexible plastic member comprising a flange ring, a rim, and first and second loops, and an adhesive skin barrier member. The mounting assembly also comprises an ostomy pouch comprising a proximal sheet having an aperture, a distal sheet, and a pouch ring attached to the proximal sheet, surrounding the aperture, the pouch ring comprising an adhesive coating thereon and third and fourth loops extending radially therefrom. The body flange and ostomy pouch are configured for the third and fourth loops to engage within the pocket of the first and second loops, respectively, the pouch ring to fit around the flange ring, and the rim of the flexible plastic member to contact the adhesive coating on the pouch ring. The adhesive skin barrier member has a multi-petaled outer perimeter.
