An ostomy output diversion device is used to cover and seal closely around a patient's stoma, to divert stoma effluent output through the device, into a container or reservoir, temporarily eliminating the need of an adhesive-based ostomy pouching system. The ostomy output diversion device is placed over the person's stoma, with the base ring surrounding the peristomal skin, the adjustable inner tube is retracted until the base ring is centered over the stoma, the body support strap is then placed over the device to secure it to the patient's body, the inner tube is then extended over the stoma, the patient applies the desired pressure against the skin, then secures the inner tube in place with the pressure adjustment lock. The device may also include an ostomy pouch mounting ring for attachment to an ostomy pouch, and a disposable receptacle.

Plasma discharge reactors of various designs are disclosed; the reactors are capable of synthesizing large numbers of bioactive compounds of great chemical diversity.

Plasma discharge reactors for the preparation of bioactive compounds

Large numbers of bioactive compounds of great chemical diversity may be rapidly prepared by subjecting organic compound mixtures to a plasma discharge, followed by screening for specific bioactivity.

Preparation of bioactive compounds by plasma synthesis

Hollow fiber fluid separation membranes having a first lumen-side permselective coating and a second lumen-side plasma-polymerized coating are disclosed, as well as methods of making the same.

Permselective hollow fiber fluid separation membranes having

There are disclosed saltmen-type metallo Schiff base complexes and oxygen-sorbing and -desorbing solutions of the same, pressure- and temperature-swing oxygen separation processes using the complexes and solutions, and methods of regenerating such complexes and solutions.

Sterically hindered, regenerable Schiff base complexes, solutions

Interfacially-polymerized ultrathin films containing physicochemically functional groups are disclosed, both with and without supports. Various applications are disclsoed, including membrane electrodes, selective membranes and sorbents, biocompatible materials, targeted drug delivery, and narrow band optical absorbers.

Physicochemically functional ultrathin films by interfacial

A phase inversion process for the preparation of cellulose triacetate (CTA) and regenerated cellulose membranes is disclosed. Such membranes are useful as supports for liquid membranes in facilitated transport processes, as microfiltration membranes, as dialysis or ultrafiltration membranes, and for the preparation of ion-selective electrodes. The process comprises the steps of preparing a casting solution of CTA in a solvent comprising a mixture of cyclohexanone and methylene chloride, casting a film from the casting solution, and immersing the cast film in a methanol bath. The resulting CTA membrane may then be hydrolyzed to regenerated cellulose using conventional techniques.
