Projectdetails

Introduction

Ostoform has developed and patented a new Class I medical technology, FLOWASSIST, by combining a non-absorbent material with an absorbent material (hydrocolloid).

Technology Overview

The non-absorbent material comprises a flexible spout, positioned beneath the patient's stoma, and is combined with hydrocolloid adhesive to keep the spout in place.

Hybrid Design Benefits

This hybrid design directs stoma output away from the patient's skin and into the pouch. The spout prevents output from being absorbed, so the hydrocolloid material does not break down.

  1. This means that the appliance lasts longer.
  2. The skin is protected for longer.
  3. The risk of leaks and skin complications is significantly reduced.

Commercialization

The Ostoform Seal with FLOWASSIST has been successfully developed and commercialized through the H2020 SME Instrument.

Future Plans

Ostoform now plans to develop the Ostoform Pouch with the same FLOWASSIST technology. As the ostomy pouch market is larger than the seal market, the novel pouch will increase market opportunity and company value.
