  • Publication number: 20130138064
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit comprising at least one base plate for adhesive attachment to the skin around at least one body opening. The kit further comprises at least one separate peripheral device for attachment to the base plate. The base plate comprises a backing layer, having a proximal side facing the user during use, where a skin friendly adhesive is disposed on said proximal side of the backing layer and wherein the base plate is an intact base plate thereby allowing a hole to be cut at a desired position before use. The separate peripheral device comprises a continuous adhesive ring for permanent adhesive attachment between the continuous adhesive ring of the peripheral device and the distal side of the backing layer of the base plate. This allows the user to provide a custom fit for irregular body openings.

  • Patent number: 7862878
    Abstract: A layered adhesive construction including a layer of a moldable paste wrapped in one or more wrapping layers, and a first adhesive layer attached to the wrapping layer on one outer surface of the layer of wrapped moldable paste where the layered adhesive construction has a symmetrical shape around a central axis of symmetry lying in the plane of the layers of the adhesive construction. The adhesive construction has a hole going therethrough which is placed with its center on the axis of symmetry so that it divides the central axis of symmetry in two parts. An area around at least one of the two parts on the central axis of symmetry is without the moldable paste layer and has one or more backing layers and a layer of adhesive on the same side of the adhesive construction as the first adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 7846144
    Abstract: An ostomy appliance body side member or an ostomy appliance including an adhesive wafer having a first adhesive surface for securing the appliance to the user's skin, and a second surface provided with a hydrophobic adhesive. The part of the adhesive wafer surrounding the stoma shows balanced plastic and elastic properties allowing the hole of the ostomy appliance to be enlarged by rolling up the inner rim around the hole to form a torus. The torus is locked in the rolled up position by adhesion between the hydrophobic adhesive on the second surface and the first adhesive surface, the hydrophobic adhesive ensuring that the torus does not unroll even when the first adhesive surface is exposed to moisture, thereby reducing the risk of causing injury to or constriction of the stoma.
