An object of the present invention is to provide a feces treatment agent for colostomy, which on the assumption that characteristics required as a lubricant are shown, can maintain or improve the feces discharge properties from a colostomy pouch, inhibit the development of feces odor, and improve operativity and portability. A feces treatment agent for colostomy, in which an agent A including (1) a granular water-soluble lubricant, (2) a granular water-absorbing gelling agent, (3) sodium bicarbonate, and (4) a component including at least one selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, limonite and zinc sulfide is contained in a water-soluble base material.

A penile condom catheter facilitates urine collection and egress of urinary fluids away from the body torso. A circumferential anchoring structure includes a web of flexible strands sized and arranged to at least partially contact a portion of the penis. The anchoring structure provides a flexible yet secure hold against the penis when flaccid and provides an increase in the hold when a longitudinal force is exerted upon the anchoring structure. An annularly circumferential penile skin covering material is affixed to the anchoring structure and sized to fit over at least a portion of the penis. A seal is affixed to at least a portion of a covering material, a covering material orifice, or an anchoring structure. A conduit is affixed to at least one of a covering material, a covering material orifice, a seal and an anchoring structure created to permit the flow of urinary fluid away.

An antimicrobial amphiphilic hydrogel composition for use in haemostasis of a wound comprising: a first cross-linkable amphiphilic component, the first amphiphilic component, in its chemically cross-linked state, being a lyotropic liquid crystal and having an ordered nanostructure of hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains, the hydrogel comprising an antimicrobial agent covalently attached to the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic domains.

An apparatus that includes a mask is provided, the mask including one or more fixation anchoring devices, each configured to anchor to an at least one body part within a user, wherein the at least one body part includes at least a portion of one or more of an oral, nasal, pharyngeal, and a respiratory airway; one or more skin covers, each capable of covering at least a portion of the user's face, wherein one or more of the fixation anchoring devices are connected to one or more skin covers; one or more conduits, each connected to at least a portion of one of the skin covers, wherein one or more of a gas, solid, liquid, and gel are transmitted through each of the conduits; and one or more sealing pads, each connected to at least one of one of the skin coverings and one of the fixation anchoring devices.

This disclosure relates to deodorizing compositions, ostomy devices, and uses thereof. In certain embodiments, the disclosure contemplates a deodorizer comprising a combination of citric acid and a citric acid salt, cocamidopropyl betaine, zinc ricinoleate, and optionally comprising a preservative such as a paraben. In certain embodiments, the deodorizing composition is contained loaded in a hydrogel or hydrophilic polyurethane. In further embodiments, the loaded hydrogel or hydrophilic polyurethane is placed in an ostomy device.
