ADAPTER CUTTER AND SKIN PROTECTING DEVICE USED IN STOMA DRESSING

Technical area

This invention is about the medical adapter cutter and skin protecting device which is used at dressing on opened stoma ( distance made by intestines ) of patient's body in order to put the urine (liquid ) and excrements ( suspension ) of human's body outwards caused by various diseases on cystic and intestines such as ; cancer, ulcer and wounds etc.

Substructure of invention

In the health sector there are used different devices and methods in order to make the dressing easy which is done by a specialist on the patients or by themselves and realize a more effective, more healthy dressing in the shortest time. Since this target there are produced for this applications many different devices for sub - materials and the new and innovative products will be ready to serve patient's satisfaction.

After radical sistecomy and ileal loop diversion operations the patient has to live all his life with this urostomy which was caused on his body. Since some intestine diseases ( e.g. cancer, ulcer and wounds ) this situation can be temporary or permanent in ileostomy, jejunostomy and colostomy conditions. Living with this temporary or permanent stoma effects patient's life in the negative way. Especially dressing and hygiene of the area on the stoma is very important. This dressing and its hygiene will be done by a doctor or certificated nurse after the operation and after the hospital leave it will be done by the patient itself or its closely relateds. That's why patients this operations were made must know stoma care and dressing. The continuity of this application and problems arisen from period causes complications fort he patient.

There wasn't used any sub - material up to now during stoma dressings and it was done as follows; the adapter which will be set up on the stoma is cut with scissors up to

its radius.Since this wasn't applied automatically the cutted circle is fluffy and gummy.

After taking the adapter and bag, the stoma surface is cleaned in order not to make tissue environment dirty and a gauze dressing is set up to keep tissue environment dry. But since the flowing liquid is too much this gauze dressing can be changed many times during dressing application. After then the stoma area is cleaned with a suitable solution and dried. The adapter is set up on the patient's body, adapter bag is montaged to the adapter. After a bag and cover check the action comes to an end. Since at the urostomy and ileostomy the stome solution is liquid the gauze dressing won't be enough and the tissue environment will be wet. Beside this since the adapter radius doesn't have a sharp cut this causes a leakage on the derma on the bottom of the adapter. So adapter stickiness is decreased and adapters fall down before their using period so that duration of adapter life will be shorter. This condition causes irritations and wounds on the patients skin so that his wearing clothes will be dirty and the costs of used materials are getting higher.

The advantages of invention

Starting from this invention technic view it is the target to make stoma dressing in a shorter time.

The other target of the invention is to decrease the duration of adapter life.

The next target of the invention is to protect irritations and wounds which were caused by liquids of stome content.

One different target is not to make the wearing cloth of the patient dirty with the liquids caused by stoma content.

The other target is to protect repeating the wetness of cleaned area which set sup a barrier between the skin on and around stoma.

Description

In our invention the dressing action with adapter cutter and skin protecting device ( 1 ) which is used during stoma dressing is applied as follows; With suitable material and measures of adapter cutter and skin protecting device which is used during stoma dressing and is produced as device that one end includes cutting ( 2) and not cutting ( 3 ) parts on the other end the adapter (4) will be cut with the cutting according to stoma radius on patient's body (5) in a regular size. After this cutting action there isn't any irregularity and burr on cuittng adapter part ( 4). The adapter that has completed its using period ( 4 ) and the bag is taken from patient's body. Stoma (5 ) input is cleaned. The not cutting part ( 3 ) of our product is set up onto the stoma ( 5 ) so that no opend area can be seen on the body. ( Image 5 ) Thus there is set up a barrier between stoma (5 ) input and stoma ( 5 ) environment so that stoma ( 5 ) environment is protected against wettnes and dirt. There is set up a gauze dressing in our product in order to blockade leakage, After this the skin around stoma ( 5 ) can be cleaned and dried easy wit a suitable solution.

The prepared adapter (4) which was cut by our products cutting part (2) will be applied on the skin by sliding. Since radius of cutting ( 2 ) and not cutting ( 3 ) are equal it is applied regularly without any upwards yawning of adapter sides. After taking our product from the body stoma ( 5 ) input is cleaned at least, adapter bag is set up to the adapter (4) and this action will be completed after bag and plug control. Our existing invention can be produced for different stoma (5 ) radius.
