Abstract
Provided is a method 30 for producing a custom ostomy skin barrier 12, said method 30 comprising the steps of providing 32 a scanner 16 whereby a user is able to scan a torsal peristomal area 18, said scanner 16 configured to generate 34 a data image of the scanned peristomal area 18, and transmitting 36, by the scanner 16, the data image to a skin barrier production system 22. The method 30 also includes the step of analysing 38, by the production system 22, the received data image in order to produce 40 a skin barrier template whereby a custom ostomy skin barrier 12 corresponding with a stoma 20 in the scanned peristomal area 18 is producible.
Claims14
A method for producing a custom ostomy skin barrier, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a downloadable software application which is configured to adapt a user's mobile device, such as a mobile telephone or tablet, as a scanner to scan a torsal peristomal area together with a reference token, such as a coin of known dimensions, to provide a scale of dimension and/or parallax of the scanned area, said scanner thereby further configured to generate a data image comprising such scale of dimension and/or parallax of the scanned peristomal area;
- transmitting, by the mobile device, the data image to a skin barrier template production system;
- analysing, by said template production system, the received data image to identify relative dimensions between the scanned reference token to determine a desired dimension and/or parallax of the scanned peristomal area in order to produce a skin barrier template whereby a custom ostomy skin barrier corresponding with a stoma in the scanned peristomal area is self-producible by the user from a conventional sheet of skin barrier material;
- and
- sending the produced skin barrier template to the user to enable such self-production of an ostomy skin barrier.
A system for producing a custom ostomy skin barrier, the system comprising:
- a downloadable software application which is configured to adapt a user's mobile device, such as a mobile telephone or tablet, as a scanner to scan a torsal peristomal area together with a reference token to provide a scale of dimension and/or parallax of the scanned area, said scanner thereby further configured to generate a data image of the scanned peristomal area;
- and
- a skin barrier production system which is configured to:
- a. receive and analyse the data image to identify relative dimensions between the scanned reference token to determine a desired dimension and/or parallax of the scanned peristomal area in order to produce a skin barrier template whereby a custom ostomy skin barrier corresponding with a stoma in the scanned peristomal area is self-producible by the user from a conventional sheet of skin barrier material;
- and
- b. send the produced skin barrier template to the user to enable such self-production of an ostomy skin barrier.
