An asymmetric multilayer film for an ostomy pouch includes a barrier layer including a first side and a second side. At least one layer is arranged on the first side of the barrier layer, and at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer, in which the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the first side of the barrier layer is at least two times greater than the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer. The asymmetric multilayer film has a thickness of about 25 μm to about 50 μm.

Asymmetric multilayer film for ostomy application

A multilayer film for ostomy and bowel management applications includes a barrier layer comprising at least about 90% wt. nylon 6/69. The multilayer film provides excellent mechanical and odor barrier properties, and softness and quietness desired in ostomy and bowel management applications.

Odor barrier film

A biodegradable odor barrier film for ostomy, continence and bowel management applications includes a barrier layer comprising at least about 90% wt. polyglycolic acid. The biodegradable odor barrier film provides excellent mechanical and odor barrier properties desired in ostomy, continence and bowel management applications.

Biodegradable odor barrier film

An ostomy appliance includes a multilayer composite film comprising at least one foam layer. An outer foam layer can function as a skin contact layer providing comfort and softness characteristics that are comparable to a nonwoven comfort layer. Preferably, at least one foam layer includes a vinyl-bond rich triblock copolymer and provides sound absorbing properties. The multilayer composite film can also include at least one layer comprising a filler to further enhance sound absorbing properties.

An asymmetric multilayer film for an ostomy pouch includes a barrier layer including a first side and a second side. At least one layer is arranged on the first side of the barrier layer, and at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer, in which the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the first side of the barrier layer is at least two times greater than the combined thickness of the at least one layer arranged on the second side of the barrier layer. The asymmetric multilayer film has a thickness of about 25 &#x3bc;m to about 50 &#x3bc;m.

A multilayer film includes an outer foam layer and a gas barrier layer. The multilayer film may also include at least one tie layer and at least one inner layer, and can be configured to have various film layer constructions. For example, the multilayer film can be configured as a five-layer, six-layer, or seven-layer films. The multilayer film can provide unique texture, softness, quietness, gas barrier properties, light weight and low cost per volume. Further, one or more layers of the multilayer film can contain a vinyl-bond rich triblock copolymer to provide sound absorbing properties.

Multilayer film including foam layer and gas barrier layer

A multilayer film including an odor barrier layer having sound dampening properties is provided. The odor barrier layer is formed from a polyamide modified with a functionalized vinyl-bond rich triblock copolymer.

A valve for a pouch for collecting biological fluids includes a valve stem, at least a portion of which is formed from a polymeric material including oleamide.

Lubricated valve for ostomy pouch

A flushable catheter having an outer wall defining an inner conduit and an inner core member positioned within the inner conduit. The inner core being made from flushable materials, which are preferably degradable water soluble materials such that the inner core degrades as urine or water pass through the inner conduit defined by the outer wall.

Disposable catheter with selectively degradable inner core

A urostomy pouch includes a baffle member, which is formed using multilayer film sheets. The multilayer film includes an inner layer comprising polypropylene and styrenic block copolymer, and an outer layer comprising ethyl methyl acrylate copolymer (EMA). The multilayer film sheets are arranged such that the inner layers face each other and are ultrasonically sealed along their longitudinal edges to form a tubular-shaped baffle member.
