Pouch For Collecting Human Waste

View page
US Patent:
7722585, May 25, 2010
Filed:
Oct 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/930595
Inventors:
Malcolm Falconer - London, GB
Adrin Breakwell - Chester, GB
Bret Weig - Browns Mills NJ, US
Assignee:
ConvaTec Technologies Inc. - Skillman NJ
International Classification:
A61F 5/44
US Classification:
604332, 604337, 604339, 604343, 604344
Abstract:
A drainable ostomy pouch has an outlet. Reinforcing members at the outlet are deformable by application of manual pressure at their ends to distend the outlet. The lateral edges of the reinforcing members may be offset, which encourages the reinforcing members to consistently bend away from each other. A peelable distributed mechanical engagement fastener secures the outlet in a folded condition. The fastener parts are hook-hook type plastic extrusions, and provide a snap-engagement. A security flap is foldable under the outlet when in its folded condition. The outlet is released in two stages.

Pouch For Collecting Human Body Waste And Drainage Adapter Therefor

View page
US Patent:
7947025, May 24, 2011
Filed:
Aug 3, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/462085
Inventors:
Donald E. Buglino - Titusville NJ, US
Matt Dawson - Hillsborough NJ, US
Bret Weig - Browns Mills NJ, US
Adrian Breakwell - Cheshire, GB
Assignee:
ConvaTec Technologies Inc. - Las Vegas NV
International Classification:
A61F 5/44
US Classification:
604335, 604332, 604334, 604340
Abstract:
A drainable urine pouch includes a discharge portion that is foldable between a discharge position and a closed position. A security flap is sealed to both walls of the pouch by a through weld, to define a baffle near the discharge portion. The discharge portion includes a constriction, and a stepped profile with multiple step stages. The discharge portion has one or more bias members. A drainage adapter is releasably coupled to the discharge portion. The drainage adapter has a plug with a shoulder for abutting the constriction in the discharge portion, to locate the adapter correctly for obtaining a liquid-tight seal.

Seal For An Ostomy Appliance

View page
US Patent:
8388586, Mar 5, 2013
Filed:
Feb 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/527722
Inventors:
Bret Weig - Browns Mills NJ, US
Assignee:
ConvaTec Technologies, Inc. - Las Vegas NV
International Classification:
A61F 5/445
A61M 25/10
US Classification:
604338, 60410105, 60410308
Abstract:
An ostomy appliance is disclosed with an inflatable seal for sealing against the stoma. The inflatable seal has a first inflatable chamber portion for fitting inside the stoma to seal against the internal tissue. The inflatable seal also has a second inflatable chamber portion for sealing externally against the stoma and peristomal skin. In one embodiment, a tube extends through the inflatable seal to provide a communication passage for discharge of body waste without removing the inflatable seal. The tube floats with respect to an adhesive mounting member to allow a waist between the first and second inflatable chamber portions to self-locate in the stoma.

Seal For A Rectal Or Ostomy Appliance

View page
US Patent:
20100022976, Jan 28, 2010
Filed:
Feb 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/527716
Inventors:
Bret Weig - Skillman NJ, US
Assignee:
CONVATEC TECHNOLOGIES INC. - Reno NV
International Classification:
A61F 5/44
US Classification:
604355
Abstract:
A rectal appliance with a tubular member defining a communication passage for body waste, and first and second inflatable chamber portions carried on the tubular member for forming internal and external seals with respect to the anus. One or both of the inflatable chamber portions have a partly flared shape. The second inflatable chamber portion has a low external profile, and a concave sealing surface. The inflatable chamber portions are defined at least partly by a common flexible membrane that is constrained near a middle region to define a narrow waist between the two inflatable chamber portions.

Ostomy Appliance

View page
US Patent:
20100174253, Jul 8, 2010
Filed:
Jun 11, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/664169
Inventors:
John Cline - New Brunswick NJ, US
Bret Weig - Browns Mills NJ, US
Christopher Gregory - Newtown PA, US
John Blum - Toms River NJ, US
Assignee:
ConvaTec Technologies Inc. - Skillman NJ
International Classification:
A61F 5/44
US Classification:
604328
Abstract:
A stoma adapter is described that is especially suited to a recessed stoma or a flush stoma. The stoma adapter effectively extends the discharge passage from the stoma, protects peristomal skin, and forms a bridge at the interface between the stoma and an ostomy appliance. The stoma adapter contains a substantially unobstructed discharge passage, at least for effluent flowing in a discharge direction. The stoma adapter includes a seal for sealing against the bowel wall. The stoma adapter has collapsing, expanding, flexible and reinforced designs.

Assignee:
ConvaTec Technologies Inc. - Las Vegas NV
International Classification:
A61F 5/445
US Classification:
604338, 604332
Abstract:
