Patent number: 11896516Abstract: An asymmetric multilayer film for an ostomy pouch includes a barrier layer including a first side and a second side. At least one layer is arranged on the first side of the barrier layer, and at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer, in which the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the first side of the barrier layer is at least two times greater than the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer. The asymmetric multilayer film has a thickness of about 25 ?m to about 50 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Hollister IncorporatedInventors: Moh-Ching Oliver Chang, Joel D.

Publication number: 20230226541Abstract: A test tube for testing fluid absorption of a sample material includes an elongated tubular portion configured to contain a test fluid and a base portion for receiving and holding the sample material. The base portion is in fluid communication with the elongated tubular portion and configured to support the elongated tubular portion when the test tube is in an upright position with the base portion placed on a surface. The test tube is configured such that when the sample material is received in the base portion and the test tube is placed in the upright position for a fluid absorption test, the test fluid contained in the elongated tubular portion makes contact with the sample material.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Joel D. Shutt, Jeremy R. Quint
