Abstract
An adjustable base plate for use with a tracheotomy stoma includes a flexible membrane and a base component having an accessory mounting portion disposed in a center of the flexible membrane and adapted to mount a tracheostoma accessory. The base plate defines a conically shaped region formed by a plurality of conforming members extending radially from the accessory mounting portion that are laterally spaced from one another and connected to one another by a plurality of web portions formed by the flexible membrane. An adhesive material is applied to the flexible membrane.
Claims14
An adjustable base plate for use with a tracheostoma comprising:
- a flexible membrane having a first surface and a second surface;
- a base component bonded to the first surface of the flexible membrane and including an accessory mounting portion disposed in a center of the flexible membrane and adapted to mount a tracheostoma accessory, the base component further including between three and fifteen conforming members that extend radially outward directly from and are angled relative to the accessory mounting portion and are bonded to the first surface of the flexible membrane to define a conically shaped region with the between three and fifteen conforming members laterally spaced from one another, wherein the conforming members have a larger dimension in a lateral direction relative to a center axis of the accessory mounting portion than a thickness of the conforming members in a direction perpendicular to the center axis of the accessory mounting portion;
- and
- an adhesive material applied to the second surface of the flexible membrane for application to a user's skin while the between three and fifteen conforming members conform to natural movement of the user's skin.
