  • Patent number: 11607334
    Abstract: A base plate for an ostomy appliance, the base plate (4) comprises a top layer (208) defining a base plate plane; a first adhesive layer (200) adapted to adhere the base plate (4) to peristomal skin of a user; an electrode assembly (204); and a monitor interface (207) configured to electronically connect with the electrode assembly (204), where the monitor interface (207) comprises a coupling part (210) configured to form a releasably mechanically and/or electronically coupling between the base plate (4) and a monitor device (6); the coupling part (210) is configured to engage and/or disengage with the monitor device (6) allowing the monitor device (6) to be coupled to the base plate by a motion in a direction corresponding to an acute angle of 45 degrees or less relative to the base plate plane.

  • Publication number: 20230030622
    Abstract: An ostomy system, a sensor assembly (310) for an ostomy appliance of an ostomy system, and a method related to the ostomy system is disclosed. The ostomy appliance comprises a first adhesive layer (80), a sensor assembly (310), and a monitor device. The sensor assembly (310) comprises a first sensor (311) at least partly encircling the centre point and a second sensor (312) at least partly encircling the first sensor (311). The first sensor (311) comprises at least a primary sensing segment (311a) arranged in a primary sector (310A) of the sensor assembly and a secondary sensing segment (311b) arranged in a secondary sector (310B). The monitor device is configured to determine a main sector (310M) wherein liquid has been detected by the primary and/or secondary sensing segment (311a/311b), respectively, and to indicate a site of leakage from the ostomy appliance based on at least the main sector (310M).

  • Publication number: 20220257405
    Abstract: A base plate (1) for an ostomy appliance. The base plate forms a proximal surface (2) configured to be attached to the body. The base plate comprises an electrode structure (4) extending in a recess structure (5) in the proximal surface. To allow a more exact signal, the recess structure defines volume which exceeds the volume of the electrode structure to thereby define a free space in the recess structure.

  • Patent number: 6283427
    Abstract: A supporting mechanism for a window screening device comprises a first pair of bracket members for mounting on each of a pair of opposed parallel frame surfaces of the frame structure and a second pair of coupling members engageable by the screening device. Each bracket member and each coupling member comprises an engaging mechanism for releasable sliding engagement of a coupling member with a bracket member. Each bracket member or each coupling member is provided with a resilient mechanism engageable with an abutment of a coupling member or a bracket member to retain the bracket member and the coupling member in mutual engagement. The bracket members are identical standard members each comprising a relatively flat front part protruding from said frame surface and having a substantially smooth external surface and engaging mechanism formed by a pair of opposed parallel side edges.
