SKILLMAN, New Jersey, June 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

- En ny søsning fra Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS-familien af fækeshåndteringssystemer, hvormed klinikeren kan aflukke patientens sikring

ConvaTec, en førende udvikler og forhandler af innovative medicinske teknologier til pleje på institutioner og hospitaler, bebudede i dag lanceringen af Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) fækeshåndteringssystemet, benævnt FMS (Fecal Management System), der nu forhandles i Flere europæiske hovedmarkeder. Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) FMS er forbedret med nye hovedfunktioner, blandt andet en unik signalindikator, der kommer frem som hjælp til klinikeren ved bedømmelse af, hvornår anordningens reservoir har fyldt til et korrekt volumen -- hvilket giver sikkerhed for, at produktet er fyldt op til optimal funktion -- således at der gives en sikker og effektiv aflukning til beskyttelse af patienten.

Med det originale, innovative design, der har gjort Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS det mest brugte fækeshåndteringssystem i verden,(1) er de nye funktioner for Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) FMS designet som hjælp til at reducere risikoen for både hudskader og smittespredning med f.eks. Clostridium difficile (C. difficile), til at forbedre patientens pleje og samtidigt spare plejetid og nedbringe de samlede plejeomkostninger.

"ConvaTec har skabt markante forbedringer på Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) FMS på grundlag af klinikernes tilbagemeldinger, som hjælp til at opnå de største fordele for deres patienter", udtalte Nino Pionati, President, Global Marketing and Business Development. "Specifikt ønskede klinikerne at have kontrol med opfyldningsstatus for reservoirballonen i rectum. Den nye signalindikator giver dem denne kontrol og giver sikkerhed for at ballonen fyldt til optimalt funktionsniveau".

Den nye signalfunktion virker som følger: Når det korrekte væskevolumen i den interne reservoirballon er nået, kommer en lille boble frem i opfyldningsporten, der er placeret på den eksterne slange. Når indikatoren kommer frem og bliver ude, skal påfyldningen standses og må ikke overstiges med 45ml for at at forhindre overfyldning. Kliniske observationer har påvist, at en korrekt fyldning af reservoirballonen minimerer risikoen for lækager.

Foruden signalindikatoren omfatter forbedringerne på Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) FMS en nyt kulfiltreret opsamlingspose, der er designet til at indeslutte og lukke af for lugte og udgør en effektiv barriere mod overføring af C.Difficile, hviket bidrager til at minimere risikoen for krydskontamination.(2) En ny alsidig rem er designet til sikker montering på et sengestel, hvilket igen bidrager til at minimere risikoen for den kontamination, der kunne være følgen af et spild.

Andre nye praktiske og brugervenlige funktioner omfatter en blå, nemt fundet fingerlomme, der er designet til brug ved indføring med en enkelt ringfinger, og et forøget skyllelumen som hjælp ved tilføring af væske til skylningen.

"Akut fækal inkontinens har afgørende indflydelse på både patienten og plejerens helbred og velbefindende, især på intensivafdelinger, hvor det ofte er forbundet med C. diff-infektion", udtalte Marcus Schabacker, Chief Scientific Officer hos ConvaTec. "Tilføjelsen af Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) FMS til familien af Flexi-Seal(TM) fækeshåndteringssystemer er en effektiv og innovativ løsning for klinikere, der skal håndtere fækal inkontinens. Flexi-Seal(TM) SIGNAL(TM) FMS vil sætte den nye plejestandard for håndtering af fækal inkontinens og vil bidrage til ydereligere forbedring af patientplejen".

Om Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS-familien af fækeshåndteringssystemer

Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS, en midlertidig beholderenhed til patienter med akut fækal inkontinens, er designet til sikker og effektiv afledning af fækes, værn af patientens sår mod fækal kontaminering og reduktion af risikoen for hudskader og smittespredning. Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS indiceres til patienter med lille eller ingen tarmkontrol og flydende eller halvflydende fækes. Den kan anvendes i op til 29 dage i træk. Hovedfunktionerne i Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS omfatter:

    
    - En blød lavtryksballon, konstrueret som hjælp til nem indsætning og
      udtagning og minimering af risikoen for vævsnekrose.
    - En lukket opsamlingspose, der kan bidrage til reduktion af
      smittespredningen.
    - Et fuldkommen latexfrit design.

I oktober 2008, lancerede ConvaTec også Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS Advanced Odor Control, der er specifikt designet som hjælp til at håndtere kraftig lugt* i forbindelse med fækal inkontinens. Samtidigt med alle fordele ved det oprindelige produkt, har Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS Advanced Odor Control vist sig at være i stand til at eliminere* lugtudtrængning gennem katetervægge til niveauer, der ligger under hvad der er menneskeligt registrerbart.(3)

Klinisk bevis

En klinisk undersøgelse med 42 patienter er udført til evaluering afsikkerheden og funktionsniveauet for Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS hos personer med flydende eller halvflydende diarrhe og inkontinens. Hovedresultaterne var blandt andet:(4)

    
    - Den rektale slimhindes tilstand var sund hos alle patienter efter brug
      af Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS udfra en indledende og efterfølgende endoskopi.
    - 92% af patienterne bevarede eller forbedrede deres hudtilstand.
    - 83% af plejepersonerne rapporterede, at Flexi-Seal(TM) FMS forbedrede
      inkontinenskontrol, havde gavnlig virkning og var tidsbesparende.

* Eliminerer mærkbare naphthalen (indol) og svovllugte, der trænger gennem kateterslangens væg.
