Patent number: 10195069Abstract: An outlet (4) for a pouch (1) in a urostomy appliance is provided. The outlet has a valve with a valve housing (5) and a valve stem (6) that is movable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the valve housing. In a position of the valve stem, the stem can freely rotate with respect to the valve housing, so as to prevent kink and obstructions in a tube connecting the valve with a collecting bag. A urostomy appliance with an outlet is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Erik Lund Jepsen, Kamilla Grove Sund

Publication number: 20090036873Abstract: A device for stimulating the healing of a wound comprises a separating means having a fluid inlet and a gas outlet. The separating means may constitute a collecting container for collecting fluid pumped from the wound. A pump for applying negative pressure comprises pump head and a drive unit. The pump head is connected to the gas outlet of the separating means, and the pump head is detachably attached to the drive unit, so that in use the fluid inlet of the separating means is connected to a wound cover, e.g. via a conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: COLOPLAST A/SInventors: Brian Nielsen, Jesper Mads Bartroff Frederiksen, Truels Sterm Larsen, Erik Lund Jepsen, Niels Hvid, Klaus Budig

Publication number: 20090030383Abstract: A suction system for removal of fluids from a surface, e.g. a wound site, the system comprising a cover (1) attachable to a circumference of the surface to form an enclosed suction space sealed from ambient space. The system further comprises a pump (4) in fluid communication with the enclosure via a tube (2) to provide a pressure difference between a suction pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. To provide an improvement over the known systems and to facilitate pressure measurement, the system comprises flushing means (11) to clean the tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2007Publication date: January 29, 2009Inventors: Truels Sterm Larsen, Erik Lund Jepsen, Niels Hvid

Publication number: 20090012484Abstract: A pump for pumping fluid matter from a treatment site in or on a living being comprises three compartments. A motor-driven pumping element is provided for generating a negative pressure within a wound cover at or near the treatment site, and a motor for providing a driving force to the pumping element is provided in the a first one of the compartments. The pumping element is comprised in a second compartment, and a container for collecting liquid pumped from the treatment site is comprised or integrated in a third compartment. The second compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or third compartment, and the third compartment is detachably connected to the first and/or the second compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2007Publication date: January 8, 2009Inventors: Brian Nielsen, Jesper Mads Bartroff Frederiksen, Truels Sterm Larsen, Erik Lund Jepsen, Niels Hvid, Klaus Budig

Publication number: 20090005746Abstract: A suction system for removal of exudate from a wound comprises a wound cover which is attachable to a wound circumference of a living being thereby to form an enclosure, and a pump in fluid communication with the enclosure to provide a pressure difference between a negative pressure in the enclosure and an air pressure of an ambient space. A deflectable member is arranged such with respect to the enclosure that the pressure difference may cause deflection of the deflectable member, and a pressure sensing device is located outside the enclosure and arranged to provide a signal in response to the pressure or the deflection of the deflectable member. The deflectable member forms an essentially air tight barrier between the sensor and the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Inventors: Brian Nielsen, Jesper Mads Bartroff Frederiksen, Truels Sterm Larsen, Erik Lund Jepsen, Niels Hvid, Klaus Budig

Publication number: 20030145880Abstract: Within the foodstuffs, the pharmaceutical and corresponding industries, it is of the utmost importance that the insides of tanks and the equipment existing herein can be held completely clean without the risk of undesired bacterial growth, cross-contamination etc. Equipment for the cleaning of tanks comprises a submerged pipe with a nozzle head mounted on the bottom, through which nozzles cleaning fluid is sprayed from below and upwards, while at the same time the nozzles are rotated and turned around inside the tank. In order to ensure an effective cleaning of this submerged equipment, according to the invention this equipment is configured so that cleaning fluid is constantly led out over the pipe (7) which extends down into the tank.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2002Publication date: August 7, 2003Inventors: Erik Lund Jepsen, Klaus Thogersen, Gunner Monrad Sie

Patent number: 6533841Abstract: Filter plates in an electro-filter are cleaned using nozzles which, during spraying, are displaced longitudinally with the side edges of the filter plates while at the same time being rotated. The nozzles are mounted in a plane slightly different from the plane of the filter plates to enable the spray jets to reach the furthermost areas of the plates when the nozzles are at the greatest angle of incidence during washing.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2000Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Toftejorg A/SInventor: Erik Lund Jepsen

Patent number: 5715852Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning the inside surfaces of a tank with a jet of fluid from a nozzle lowered into the interior of the tank. The nozzle is capable of being rotated around a first axis and also capable of being swivelled upward and downward in an oscillating movement around a second axis at right angles to the first axis in a predetermined manner. A drive mechanism for the nozzle includes a turbine driven by a stream of fluid with a drive connected to the turbine.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1996Date of Patent: February 10, 1998Assignee: Toftejorg A/SInventor: Erik Lund Jepsen
