Abstract

The invention relates to the ability to mechanically close artificial stoma outlets on the human body. The suppression or release or moderate release of intestine exit noises is achieved according to the invention by means of a membrane or plating that is reversibly movable in the direction of the stoma outlet, wherein small hand-pressure pump balls or miniature motors are used for regulation. The reversible stoma outlet closing device can be mechanically latched into existing stoma supply systems having or not having a belt retainer. Therefore, practical application makes it possible for persons having a stoma to suppress or release intestine exit noises and intestine contents in a selective and also moderate and partial manner - with a high level of hygiene. Thus, the quality of life of persons having a stoma is improved.

Description

Silencer system for stoma carrier for suppression of

Bowel sounds outlet

The invention relates to the occlusion of ostomy outlets with the effect of suppressing gut leakage noise as well as the controllability of defecation and a substantial improvement in ostomy hygiene and physical protection of ostomy exit.

People who have had an intestinal output after bowel surgery suffer from uncomfortable, uncontrollable gut leakage noise, which significantly affects their participation in public life.

According to the state of the art, the stoma exits are supplied with a skin-friendly self-adhesive patch, the stoma plate and an associated stoma bag. The stoma plate is provided with an annular groove into which the stoma bag is locked (Fig.l).

To suppress the intestinal exit sounds, systems are known in which a lead plate is pressed by means of a belt to the stoma.

Another solution is that a foam cuboid is pressed against the stroma with the aid of a curved hard plastic shell and a stoma belt. {Fa. Colon Silience)

Both systems have the defect that the precise, accurate adjustment of the closure plate on the stoma output by the hand and belt made adjustment to the stoma exit can not be sufficiently accurately realized and also

time consuming and not effortless.

Furthermore, the seat of the stoma closure thus produced with the help of Stomagürtels, due to the curves of the human body and its movements is not safe. It often comes to slipping of the stoma closure, thus canceling the effect of intestinal noise suppression. A further disadvantage of the prior art systems is that the compressibility of the ostomy closure plates by means of a stoma belt has a relatively low degree of fine adjustability, and often - in order to obtain the desired effect of reducing gut leakage noise - the pressure is too strong

is carried out, which can lead to inflammation and pain reactions at the stoma exit, which is very unpleasant, especially for long-term wearer.

Due to the limited finely tunable nature of the ostomy outlet occlusion process and the non-secure occlusion-particularly in the movement of the human body-there are often at least partial and uncontrolled and unwanted defecations.

Equally limited tolerable are the non-adjustable plaster and plug closures that totally occlude the stoma and do not allow easy, temporary relief of the stoma. In addition, these systems offer very little protection against endangering the

Stomach area due to external physical influences.

For athletes, there are protective plates without silencer function, which are worn with a belt and are only portable for a short time and also no temporary simple

Allow relief of the stoma.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for stoma supporters to suppress uncontrolled intestinal exit noise, wherein the device to be created at the same time the individual physiological conditions of the ostomate and

Hygienic requirements that protect the stoma from physical external influences and to be compatible with existing stomapflaster bag constructions.

The problem is solved by a holding frame which can be latched to given supply systems for stoma exits or / or additionally by means of a belt to the

Stomaausgang is fixable, wherein the holding frame includes a mechanism that allows the ostomy outlet regulated and gentle to close and formed the holding frame according to the shape of the human body curved and predominantly ellipsoidal shaped. It consists of a stoma-facing base plate and a cover plate (Figs. 2 - 4). Both plates are connected to each other, in particular by tongue and groove, click or

Screw connection. The holding frame contains on the side facing the stoma a recess which can be inserted into the space between the stoma flap and the ostomy bag (FIG. 5).

The attachment of the support frame on the existing stoma supply system can also be realized by means of an adapter so that at the stoma paving side facing the support structure as an adapter between the support structure and Stoma patches an approximately rectangular plate with U-shaped recess made of metal or plastic material firmly in there inserted groove snaps into place, wherein the U-shaped recess is dimensioned so that it is inserted into the intermediate space present between Stoma patches and stomabeutel or a rectangular to ellipsoidal plate with a circular cutout is clicked according to the Stoma patches geometry in the recess between Stoma patches and Stoma or magnetic adapter to realize the adhesion to the stoma patch, the latter containing a correspondingly shaped iron plate.

The respective solutions can be supplemented by a belt around the body and the support frame, wherein the belt is mounted in the holding frame.

The adjustable and moderate and noise suppressing closure of the

Stoma exit is given by a preferably cast in the cover plate of the holding frame, glued, hooked or screwed mechanism consisting of a plastic or metal diaphragm (Fig. 6) or a solid cylinder or fixed cone sump plastic or metal material, which via a compressed air ball or by means of an im

Holding frame fixed electric motor can be pressed in the direction Stomaausgang, wherein in the case of the cylinder or truncated cone these are mounted on a central axis. Cylinder or truncated cone are either on a smooth or grid axis or in a smooth or grid cylinder - respectively truncated cone - stored.

The pressing of membrane or cylinder or truncated cone can also be given by a spiral or leaf spring with locking, a Schraubvortrieb or an adjustable and fixable pressure lever or a sliding wedge.

Cylinder or truncated cone are convex to concave on their front side or contain a corresponding, gel-like bulge. The pressure for adjusting the diaphragm or the cylinder or the truncated cone is limited by a pressure relief valve in the air supply or pressure balls with limited air flow and / or a pressure relief valve in the air supply or in

Haltegstell.

The above membrane of plastic material or metal is a predominantly circular, planar to curved membrane of 0.05 to 2.0mm thickness and a 0 of 30 to 95mm, which is mounted in a circular recess of the base plate of the support frame.

The controllability of the intensity of the predominantly convex curvature of the membrane is by means of limited compressed air and / or by means of a distance limitation of the Andrückstrecke by a fixed to the inside of the cover plate spacer rod, a fixed there spacer tape or a fixed spacer thread or a distance spring or a predominantly circular metal or plastic disc in the 0 from 3 to 80mm, which is fixed on the membrane on the side facing the stoma given. The membrane as such may be convex to concave.

The connection of the base plate and cover plate of the holding frame is given by the fact that

- Are arranged on the mutually facing sides of the base and cover plate groove and spring, said base plate and cover plate are formed solid or broken - preferably made of plastic material with wall thicknesses of 1 to 10mm, or

- Base and cover plate at their sides left and right - related to the stoma exit - are connected to predominantly U-shaped grid or screw clips or

- Base and cover plate of Haltegstelles as a hinge with storage of the hinge preferably right or left - based on the stoma exit - are formed, the base and cover plate are fixed as a click, screw or bolt connection or one side of the support frame is open and the connectivity of the base with the cover plate is given at this point by means of pressure and stretching effect of the cover plate by hand in a click fastener recessed therein or the support frame consists only of the cover plate with pressure device and stoma belt. The advantage of the construction according to the invention is that a very effective reduction of gut leakage noise can be achieved until its complete prevention.

As a result of the variable contact pressure of the predominantly convex device can be a specific command of the intestinal exit noises, based on the particular digestive situation as well as on the respective physical activity of motion

Concerned and the respective social environment.

In particular, the control of the contact pressure by manual pumping or by electrical / electronic pumping allows the maintenance of normal life situations of those concerned with a minimal and simple and inconspicuous effort.

Both cylinder, truncated cone, gel filling and membrane allow optimal closure even anatomically different Stromaausgänge and even with different abdominal shapes and a reasonable opening ability of the stoma exit, so that only an acceptable controllability of the chair is possible and a replacement function for the sphincter is given ,

Furthermore, the hygienic status of the controllable ostomy closure device, due to its smooth surface and exact controllability, is significantly better than the prior art open cell sonic / insulating devices.

Another advantage of the design according to the invention is that they are easily compatible with and connectable to existing stoma exit care systems.
