20100211029 | ASPIRATION SYSTEM FOR REMOVING LIQUID OTHER THAN URINE DISCHARGED BY THE HUMAN BODY - An aspiration system for removing liquid other than urine, which liquid is discharged from the human body, comprises a disposable body interface device having a liquid collection chamber. A liquid sensor detects the presence of liquid within the chamber, and controls application of aspiration suction to remove liquid from the liquid collection region. The body interface device may be a wound dressing, and the liquid wound exudate. The aspiration suction is controlled to remove only excess wound exudate. | 08-19-2010 |
20100211032 | ASPIRATION SYSTEM FOR REMOVING URINE DISCHARGED BY THE HUMAN BODY, AND LIQUID SENSOR THEREFOR - An aspiration system for removing urine from the human body comprises a disposable body interface device having a liquid collection chamber. A detachable or permanently attached non-contact liquid sensor disposed outside the liquid collection chamber detects the presence of urine within the chamber. The non-contact sensor is selected from: a capacitance sensor; an ultrasonic sensor; a piezo-resonant sensor; and a temperature sensor. | 08-19-2010 |
20100234820 | ASPIRATION SYSTEM AND BODY INTERFACE DEVICE FOR REMOVING URINE DISCHARGED BY THE HUMAN BODY - A body interface device for a urine aspiration system comprises a skin contact pad with gel adhesive for adhering to the skin, and a flexible cover attached to the pad. The pad includes at least one aperture for admitting urine through the pad into the body interface device. The flexible cover has a bulged form projecting away from the gasket. The flexible cover defines a urine receiving chamber facing towards the gasket, and recess facing away from the chamber for receiving at least a portion of a non-contact liquid sensor. The recess and chamber have a wall portion in common that separates the recess and the chamber. A liquid acquisition material in the chamber receives and transports urine for rapid sensing by the non-contact sensor. An aspiration unit is responsive to the non-contact liquid sensor to apply aspiration suction to the body interface device, upon detection of urine. | 09-16-2010 |
20100241092 | OSTOMY APPLIANCE - An ostomy appliance comprises a pouch having first and second walls, with an inlet aperture in the first wall. A stoma seal is carried by the second wall, and is disposed generally in register with the inlet aperture for sealing against a stoma in use. An outer coupling element is coupled to the first wall and surrounds the inlet aperture. An inner coupling element for supporting the stoma seal, is coupled to the second wall and/or to the stoma seal. The outer coupling element surrounds a periphery of the inner coupling element. The stoma seal may be of an inflatable type or an insertable type. Manipulation tabs may be provided associated with the inner and outer coupling elements. | 09-23-2010 |
20110060300 | ASPIRATION SYSTEM FOR REMOVING LIQUID DISCHARGED BY THE BODY, AND LIQUID SENSOR THEREFOR - An aspiration system is disclosed for removing body liquid (e.g. urine or a secretion) discharged by the human body. The aspiration system comprises a body interface device with a liquid sensor, and an aspiration unit coupled to the body interface device. The liquid sensor comprises a temperature sensor and/or a resistance bridge. The aspiration unit includes: a vacuum chamber; a pump for pre-charging the vacuum chamber with a vacuum; a valve coupled between the vacuum chamber and the body interface device; and a control circuit for controlling the valve to apply aspiration suction from the vacuum chamber to the body interface device in response to detection of body liquid at the liquid sensor. | 03-10-2011 |
20120109086 | CONTROLLED DISCHARGE OSTOMY APPLIANCE AND MOLDABLE ADHESIVE WAFER - A controlled discharge ostomy appliance is described for use with an adhesive body fitment. The body fitment comprises an adhesive wafer having a stomal aperture that is manually shapeable by folding or rolling back a rim portion of the adhesive around the stomal aperture. | 05-03-2012 |
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 |
20130085463 | OSTOMY POUCH WITH FILTERING SYSTEM - An ostomy appliance including an ostomy pouch with a filter and a center pleated panel to protect the filter, facilitate deodorization and deter ballooning. | 04-04-2013 |
20140288517 | HIGH BARRIER ELASTOMER FECAL CATHETER OR OSTOMY POUCH - A fecal catheter or ostomy pouch made of an odor barrier material including a thermoplastic elastomer, odor barrier modifier and an antiblocking agent. | 09-25-2014 |
20150059901 | SELF-CLOSING BAG CONNECTOR - A bag connector system includes a first coupling element, with a self-closing seal and a housing having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port, and a second coupling element, with a housing having a fluid inlet end and a fluid outlet end. The fluid inlet end is configured to displace the self-closing seal when inserted into the fluid outlet port of the first coupling element. A bag connector system optionally includes a locking mechanism to maintain the first coupling element and second coupling element in a coupled state. Uncoupling of the first and second coupling elements results in minimal fluid contamination on the outer surfaces of the coupling elements. The bag connector systems provided herein are included in medical appliances for waste management. | 03-05-2015 |
