One of the coauthors with tetraplegia (quadriplegia) and a colostomy invented an ostomy flange stabilizer to act as a temporary backplate and aid in pouch changes.
In an interactive design process, a 3D-printed ostomy flange stabilizer device was created. The resulting device can be adapted to 3 standard stoma appliance sizes. The stabilizer is reversible, allowing right- and left-handed people to use it on right- or left-sided stomas. Anyone with a 3D printer can print this device from an open-access Web site.
This device may be of use to many with ostomies and especially those with impaired dexterity.A 3D-printed ostomy flange stabilizer is described. 3D printing allows patient inventions to be disseminated without commercialization.
一位患有四肢瘫痪(四肢麻痹)和结肠造口术的合著者发明了一种造口瓣稳定器,用作临时背板并帮助更换袋。
在一个互动设计过程中,创建了一种 3D 打印的造口瓣稳定器设备。由此产生的设备可以适应 3 种标准造口器具尺寸。该稳定器是可逆的,允许惯用右手和左手的人在右侧或左侧造口上使用它。任何拥有 3D 打印机的人都可以从开放访问的网站上打印此设备。
对于许多患有造口术的人来说,尤其是那些灵活性受损的人来说,这种设备可能会很有用。本文介绍了一种 3D 打印的造口瓣稳定器。3D 打印可以在不商业化的情况下传播患者的发明。
