Adhesive wafer for use in a collecting device

Номер: US20120041404A1
Автор: Anders Bach, Danuta Ciok, Esben Stroebech
Принадлежит: Coloplast AS

The current invention relates to radially divided adhesive wafers for applying to the skin of a human, and which increases the wear time of such adhesive wafers. More specifically, detailed embodiments relating to radially divided adhesive wafers for use in ostomy appliances are described. This is done by providing an adhesive wafer comprising a through-going hole for communication with a body opening and an adhesive proximal side for attachment of the wafer to the skin surrounding the body opening. The adhesive wafer comprises an inner annular adhesive layer, an outer annular adhesive layer encircling the inner annular adhesive layer, an attachment zone for attaching a collection bag, provided on the distal side of the adhesive wafer, and connection means for mechanically connecting the first annular adhesive layer to the second annular adhesive layer, wherein the connection means comprises a first and a second connection area on the distal side of the respective first and second annular adhesive layers, wherein at least one of the connection areas are arranged in a radial distance from the radial edges of the respective annular adhesive layer. By providing an adhesive wafer as described, it has been shown that the time before a leakage occurs may be increased. In many cases, the leakage is even prevented. This results in the user being able to wear the adhesive wafer for a longer period of time.

Ostomy base plate with mouldable centre part

Номер: US20130226116A1
Автор: Edvardsen Henrik, Hansen Michael
Принадлежит: COLOPLAST A/S

The current invention relates to a base plate () for an ostomy collection device, the base plate comprises at least one backing layer () whereon an outer adhesive layer () is disposed on the proximal side of said backing layer, wherein the outer adhesive layer encircles an inner adhesive layer () also disposed on the proximal side of at least one backing layer, said inner adhesive layer encircles a through-going hole () of the base plate defining a central axis A-A, wherein at least a part of the backing layer whereon the inner adhesive layer is disposed is extendable in a radial direction in respect to the central axis A-A. By allowing the backing layer to be radially extendable with the inner adhesive layer, the backing layer functions as a barrier to output from the stoma. Thus, output from the stoma will not come in direct contact with the distal side of the inner adhesive layer, which is shielded by the backing layer and thus extends the wear time of the ostomy appliance and reduces the risk that leakage may occur. 1. A base plate for an ostomy collection device , the base plate comprising at least one backing layer whereon an outer adhesive layer is disposed on a proximal side of said backing layer , wherein the outer adhesive layer encircles an inner adhesive layer also disposed on the proximal side of the at least one backing layer , said inner adhesive layer encircles a through-going hole of the base plate defining a central axis A-A , wherein at least a part of the backing layer whereon the inner adhesive layer is disposed is extendable in a radial direction in respect to the central axis A-A.2.
