Abstract
A skin compatible component attachable to mammalian skin. The component is formed as a silicone matrix comprising a polyorganosiloxane derived silicone polymer and moisture control particulate distributed within the polymer network being configured to absorb moisture from the skin. The skin compatible component may be utilised as an ostomy wafer or flange to secure an ostomy appliance to the skin and in particular peri-skin.
Claims14
An ostomy coupling comprising:
- a moisture and gas permeable support layer;
- an ostomy appliance or ostomy appliance connection provided at a first surface of the support layer;
- and
- a skin compatible component attached to a second surface of the support layer and attachable to mammalian skin, skin compatible component comprising:
- a silicone polymer network derived from the addition curing of a first part including a vinyl functionalised siloxane polymer and a second part including a silicon hydride containing crosslinker, in the presence of a metal catalyst;
- and
- a superabsorbent particulate distributed within the polymer network configured to absorb moisture from the skin;
- wherein the superabsorbent particulate has an average particle size less than 150 μm.
