Smart Seal Ostomy Appliance

描述(申请人提供)：Korosensor.com建议开发一种造口器具的智能密封系统。Korosensor建议开发一种低成本的设备，在所有年龄段的患者发生泄漏之前检测泄漏的可能性。智能印章造口器是一种医疗器械，它结合了智能印章诊断能力，延长了造口系统更换间隔时间，为患者提供了信心和安心。 科氏传感器展示智能密封监测的方法结合了聚合物厚膜(PTF)导电弹性体材料、低功率支持电子和压电式振动警报技术。PTF技术提供了使用喷墨打印方法和弹性体材料进行低成本制造的好处，为造口用户提供了一致的舒适性。拟议的造口系统将允许患者识别由于皮肤屏障问题、造口结构、造口溃疡、器械使用不当或安装不当而导致的造口渗漏。一个1.0密耳厚的检漏器将被集成到造口设备法兰中，使用聚合物厚膜电路和吸湿性敷料组件来检测泄漏问题。一套简单的支持电子设备将识别法兰泄漏情况，并通过内置的压电式振动警报装置提醒电器用户潜在的泄漏问题。 拟议的商业应用：每年进行100多万次造口手术。接受造口手术的患者需要密集的身体和情感护理才能恢复正常生活。有效的结肠造口、回肠造口和尿造口术，对造口者的身体和心理健康以及功能能力至关重要。无效的封口会导致造口病人的痛苦循环。渗漏会导致皮肤破裂，从而导致进一步渗漏，从而使循环永久化。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Korosensor.com proposes to develop a smart seal system for ostomy appliance. Korosensor proposes to develop a low cost appliance that detects the possibility of leakage prior to occurring for patients of all age groups. A smart seal ostomy appliance is a medical device, which incorporates smart seal diagnostics capability to extend ostomy system change interval times, provides patient confidence and peace of mind. Korosensor's approach to demonstrating smart seal monitoring incorporating polymer thick film (PTF) conductive elastomer materials, low power support electronics and piezo vibrating alert technology. PTF technology offers the benefits of low cost manufacturing using ink jet printing methods with elastomer materials to provide conforming comfort for ostomy users. The proposed ostomy system will permit a patient to identify ostomy leakage due to skin barrier problems, stoma construction, stoma ulceration, improper appliance usage, or inadequate fitting. A 1.0 mil thick leak detector will be incorporated into the ostomy appliance flange using a polymer thick film circuit and hydroscopic dressing assembly to sense leakage problems. A simple set of support electronics will identify flange leakage conditions and alert the appliance user of potential leakage problems via a built-in piezo vibrating alert device. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Over 1 million ostomy surgeries are performed each year. Patients undergoing ostomy surgery need intensive physical and emotional care to return to a normal life. Effective seals for colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy, are critical to physical and emotional well-being as well as functional abilities of an individual with ostomies. An ineffective seal leads to a cycle of misery for the ostomy patient. Leakage causes skin breakdown which causes further leakage, thus perpetuating the cycle.
