The implant has a cylindrical part for mounting an external detachable device thereto, an ingrowth mesh and a circular flange for anchoring the implant. The cylindrical part and circular flange are attached to opposite ends of the ingrowth mesh. The ingrowth mesh is arranged such that when the implant is implanted in the abdominal wall of a patient, the epidermis meets the ingrowth mesh and is able to attach therethrough directly to serosal tissue of a bowel segment inside the implant. | 05-17-2012 |
20120123362 | UROSTOMY BAG COVER SYSTEMS - Urostomy bag cover system comprising: an ostomy bag cover; a wafer baseplate access hole; and an elastic retainer for retaining the ostomy bag cover about the ostomy bag. The wafer baseplate access hole provides access to a wafer baseplate located in the ostomy bag. The ostomy bag cover provides a non-obstructive removeable-covering for the ostomy bag, with the ostomy bag providing for the collection of waste from a surgically diverted biological system. The ostomy bag comprises a sealable collection pouch for containing waste bodily fluids and is removably couplable to a digestive system or a urinary system. The ostomy bag cover comprises at least one cotton/spandex blend decorative fabric with the decorative fabric acting as a concealer. Decorative fabric of ostomy bag cover may match a garment-fabric-appearance. | 05-17-2012 |
20120283678 | CONTROLLED EVACUATION OSTOMY APPLIANCE - A controlled evacuation ostomy appliance comprises a pouch having a non-entrant stoma seal and a retainer for retaining the lower portion of the pouch in the folded-up condition. The appliance optionally includes a body fitment that may include a region of manually moldable adhesive for forming a custom fit at the stoma. | 11-08-2012 |
20120289916 | PERCUTANEOUS OSTOMY IMPLANT - A method of providing a stoma with a removable connection for a receptacle includes securing an implant onto the stoma of a patient, wherein the implant has an axial interior section for fixation inside the body and an axial exterior section extending outwards from the body, a free end of the exterior section accommodates mounting of a detachable device, and a distal portion of the interior section includes an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal portion of the interior section. The anchoring section has an inner anchoring ring, an outer anchoring ring and at least one connection member configured and dimensioned for resiliently connecting the inner and outer anchoring rings in a manner to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section such that the anchoring section is able to respond to movements and absorb the shear of the implant in relation to adjacent organs. | 11-15-2012 |
20120323192 | SEAL FOR AN OSTOMY APPLIANCE - The present invention relates to a sealing wafer ( | 12-20-2012 |
20130053803 | IRIS DIAPHRAGM SEAL FOR AN OSTOMY BAG - A sealing wafer for use in an ostomy appliance is provided. The sealing wafer has an attachment platform with a distal surface capable of being attached to an ostomy bag, a proximal surface facing towards the user during use, and an opening having an inner boundary defining a stoma receiving opening. The sealing wafer further includes a fixed base member attached to the attachment platform and a rotating member arranged to rotate relative to the fixed base member. A sealing member is coupled between the fixed base member and the rotating member for providing a seal around a stoma and defining a stoma sealing orifice. When the rotating member is rotated relative to the base member, this rotation causes an increased or a decreased tension to be applied to the sealing member so that the diametrical dimensions of the stoma sealing orifice change from a first diameter to a second diameter. Thus a mechanical sealing member that can be used with one-piece ostomy appliances as well as with two-piece ostomy appliances is provided. | 02-28-2013 |

20150088081 | Stoma Shield for Ostomy Patients - A stoma shield for ostomy patients for covering a stoma while permitting increased maneuverability of the patient without cutting off flow within a medical device such as a colostomy bag. The stoma shield for ostomy patients includes a curved upper end and a pair of curved downward extensions extending from its lower end so as to define a curved notch. Any medical device extending from a stoma will pass under the notch so as to allow fluid flow regardless of positioning of the patient. A pair of elongated receiver slots allow connection of a strap to secure the stoma shield to a patient's body and allows the shield to be rotated for a comfortable position. | 03-26-2015 |
20150094675 | Stoma Stopper Securement Dressing - A stoma stopper securement dressing having a base member formed of a thin, flexible, skin-conforming sheet material having an adhesive coating on its underside for securing the base member to a skin surface, an opening in the base member to allow for passage of a stopper shaft therethrough, and a thin, flexible, releasable strap member attached to the base member, one end of the strap member being fixed to the based member and the other end of the strap member being a free end, such that the strap member can be opened to expose the opening for insertion or removal of a stoma stopper and can be closed to retain the stoma stopper therein. | 04-02-2015 |
