A COLLECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033117 titled 'A COLLECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an ostomy collection device that includes a housing defining a collecting volume for receiving and storing waste from an ostomy appliance. It also has an inlet for fluidly connecting to an outlet of the ostomy appliance, allowing waste to flow into the collecting volume. The device further includes an outlet for emptying the contents of the collecting volume, and a lid portion that can be pivoted between a first position, where the outlet is open and waste can flow through it, and a second position, where waste flow through the outlet is impeded or substantially prevented.
- The device is designed to collect and store waste from an ostomy appliance.
- It has an inlet that connects to the outlet of the ostomy appliance, allowing waste to flow into the collecting volume.
- The device includes an outlet for emptying the collected waste.
- The lid portion of the device can be moved between two positions - open and closed - to control the flow of waste through the outlet.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Medical field: The ostomy collection device can be used by individuals with ostomy appliances to conveniently collect and store waste.
- Home healthcare: Caregivers can use the device to assist patients with ostomy appliances in managing their waste.
- Rehabilitation centers: The device can be utilized by patients recovering from ostomy surgery to facilitate waste management.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Convenience: The device provides a convenient and hygienic way to collect and store waste from an ostomy appliance.
- Odor control: By securely storing waste, the device helps to minimize odor associated with ostomy waste.
- Ease of use: The device simplifies the process of emptying the collected waste, making it easier for individuals with ostomy appliances to manage their waste.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved hygiene: The device ensures proper containment and storage of ostomy waste, reducing the risk of contamination and infection.
- Enhanced quality of life: By providing a more convenient and efficient way to manage waste, the device can improve the overall quality of life for individuals with ostomy appliances.
- Increased independence: The device allows individuals with ostomy appliances to independently manage their waste, promoting self-care and autonomy.
Original Abstract Submitted
an ostomy collection device () including: a housing () which defines a collecting volume for receiving and storing waste from an ostomy appliance, an inlet () for fluidly connecting to an outlet of an ostomy appliance so that waste from the ostomy appliance flows into the collecting volume, an outlet () for emptying the contents of the collecting volume, and a lid portion () which is pivotable between a first position, in which the outlet () is open and waste can flow through the outlet () from the collecting volume, and a second position in which waste flow through the outlet () is impeded or substantially prevented.
