ABSTRACT:
An external incontinence device which reduces or eliminates maceration, skin irritation, microbial skin infiltration and infection, and urinary tract infection associated with conventional urinary catheters and incontinence devices is provided. Devices of the invention comprise, in a plurality of configurations, a housing having an outlet conduit, and several alternative means for attaching the housing to a para-meatal genital surface, including a barrier disc comprising various adhesive and medically active substances which form an occlusive adhesive seal with the para-meatal surface. Adhesive leaves made of fluid-absorptive or fluid-permeable materials are provided to adhere the device to skin while permitting removal of moisture from the underlying skin surface, thus eliminating maceration. Vapor permeable adhesives on the interior surface of the attachment elements, and a microbial-barrier layer provided on inner surfaces of the several configurations of housings are also provided. Antimicrobial agents are provided on or within various elements of the invention to prevent microbial infiltration into the urethral meatus, thus reducing or eliminating the incidence of urinary tract infection. New compositions of matter are also provided, comprising biocompatible hydrocolloid adhesive formulations useful in producing barrier discs of the invention as well as wound care pads, wound dressings and adhesives for the attachment of wound dressings and other devices to intact skin, mucosal surfaces, wounds and diseased or damaged epidermis, dermis or subcutaneous tissue. The disclosed compositions include two-component biocompatible hydrocolloids that rapidly cure to a solid flexible adhesive.
