Abstract: Articles and methods for the active transport of molecules into, within, and/or from a matrix are generally described. In some embodiments, an electric field may be used to alter the position of the molecule with respect to the matrix. The electric field may be used to move the molecule to a new location within the matrix, remove the molecule from the matrix, or infuse the molecule into the matrix. For instance, the electric field may be used to move a molecule having a binding partner within the matrix into or away from the vicinity of the binding partner. In some embodiments, the position of the molecule may be altered by exposing the molecule to an electrodynamic field. In some such embodiments, the molecule exposed to the dynamic electric field may have enhanced mobility and minimal adverse matrix interactions relative to conventional molecular transport methods, and in some cases, a molecule exposed to an electrostatic field.

Abstract: An ostomy appliance according to certain embodiments generally includes a pouch, an adhesive collar, and a release liner. The adhesive collar includes an adhesive to secure the pouch around a stoma. The release liner is configured to allow manipulation of the adhesive through the pouch. The adhesive collar is attached to the pouch around a stomal opening for fitting around the stoma, and the adhesive in the adhesive collar is attached to an inside of the pouch.

Abstract: Provided herein are controlled evacuation devices, ostomy devices, methods for the manufacture of such devices and the use of such devices.

Abstract: A drainable ostomy pouch includes a collection portion and a drain chute portion extending from the collection portion and having a discharge opening for permitting emptying of contents from the pouch. The drain chute is foldable between an open condition in which the drain chute portion is extended from the collection portion, and a closed condition in which the drain chute portion is folded towards the collection portion. At least one flap retains the folded drain chute portion.
