Abstract
A stoma bag (10, Fig 1) comprises a pouch (12, Fig 1) for collecting human waste and a flange plate (14) coated with an adhesive layer (19) configured to attach the pouch to the abdomen of a human body and having a spiral pathway 18 in the adhesive layer. The spiral pathway comprises a first end point 23 to receive an adhesive remover solution and a second end point 24 at its extremity to release pressure or excess adhesive remover. Attachment means (e.g. a connector for an adhesive spray) may be provided at the first end point.
Description
A stoma bag The present invention is directed to a stoma bag and especially, to an easy release stoma bag flange.
A colostomy is a surgical procedure in which a patient's colon is provided with an artificial opening, referred to as a stoma, through which the colon may be artificially evacuated. A disposable colostomy bag is coupled with the stoma for the collection of human waste. The bag is typically constructed with plastics material, rubber or a similar liquid impermeable material and has an opening thereon for receiving the stoma. Once the bag is full, it is usually detached from the stoma, discarded, and replaced. Existing stoma bags are attached to the body using an adhesive flange plate. Upon changing these stoma bags, an adhesive remover in spray form is used to dissolve the adhesive layer between the stoma bag flange plate and the wearer's skin. The flange is then gently prized from the body.
However, the existing stoma bags require the application of adhesive remover spray repeatedly to thc outer rim of the stoma bag flange plate which creates slow and sometimes uncomfortable removal. This process is also time-consuming and requires excessive amounts of adhesive remover spray than is required which may be costly. -2 -
It is an aim of the present invention to provide a stoma bag with a system that provides an easy release of the stoma bag for daily routine.
Accordingly, a first aspect of the present invention is directed to a stoma bag comprising: - a pouch for collecting human waste; and - a flange plate coated with an adhesive layer configured to attach the pouch to the abdomen of a human body having a spiral pathway in the adhesive layer; wherein, the spiral pathway comprises a first end point to receive an adhesive remover solution and a second end point at its extremity to release pressure or excess adhesive remover.
Advantageously, the spiral pathway is a spiral groove in the flange plate. This provides the advantage to better guide the adhesive removal solution into the centre of the flange plate.
Preferably, the stoma bag further comprises attachment means at the first end point.
Advantageously, the attachment means are a connector adapted to receive an adhesive remover spray.
This system provides the advantage that an adhesive remover spray can be directly injected into the heart of the flange plate through the opening thus creating a more effective removal of the stoma bag.
This system will enable the use of less adhesive solutions and will ease the work for a carer to remove the stoma bag from a sick or injured patient for example children. This will also reduce the chances of damaging the skin upon removal of the stoma bag.
An example of a stoma bag according to the present invention will now be described hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a top view of a stoma bag according to the present invention; and Figure 2 is a top view of a stoma flange plate according to a 20 first embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 3A is a cross-sectional view of a flange plate according to a first embodiment the present invention.
Figure 3B is a cross-sectional view of a flange plate according to a second embodiment the present invention. -4 -
Figure 1 shows a stoma bag 10 having a top part 1 and a bottom part 2 forming a pouch 12 of a pear shape in this example. The top part 1 has an opening dimensioned and configured to receive 5 the stoma via a flange plate 14 surrounding a stoma hole 16.
Figure 2 shows a flange plate 14 having a spiral groove 18 of around 2mm-4mm diameter set into the flange plate 14 starting at the outer edge 20 and working its way into the centre 22 of the flange plate 14. The spiral groove 18 does not bear adhesive and will act as a pathway for the adhesive remover liquid to reach the adhered areas. Small side grooves 26 branch from the spiral groove 18. The number and the direction of these are adjusted as required. In this example, six small side grooves 26 are shown.
An entry point 23 is located on the outer edge 20 of the flange plate 14 to the spiral groove 18 for attachment of a nozzle of the adhesive spray dispenser. The adhesive remover solution will then move through to the centre 22 of the flange plate 14 via pressure and capillary action. At the end of the spiral 18 a release hole 24 is located to stop the back pressure. The stoma bag 10 is secured to the user's body like any other stoma bags using a flange plate 14 bearing adhesive. -5 -
Figure 3A shows the cross-section of a flange plate 14 having a spiral groove 16 through the adhesive layer 19 acting as a pathway in this instance. The spiral groove 18 bears no adhesive while the other areas outside the spiral groove 18 bears adhesive. The adhesive remover solution will penetrate throughout the spiral groove 18 of the flange plate 14 with one short burst where it is most needed. The flange plate can then be removed with ease.
Figure 3B shows the cross-section of a flange plate 14 having a single track 17 through the adhesive layer 19 acting as a pathway in this instance. The single track 17 bears no adhesive while the other areas outside the single track 17 bears adhesive. The adhesive remover solution will penetrate throughout the single track 17 of the flange plate 14 with one short burst where it is most needed. The flange plate can then be removed with ease.
This system provides a simplified method to attach the nozzle of an adhesive remover spray to the entry point 23 on the flange plate 14. The entry point 23 can be a hole, an extension of the spiral groove 16 or a separated connector adapted to receive an adhesive remover spray. -6
