Continence Ostomy Systems
Zassi’s Continent Ostomy System is a non-pouch ostomy management solution. Ostomy surgery generally requires the resection of the part or the entire colon and/or rectum and the subsequent diversion of the colon or small bowel via an ostomy wherein the end of the remaining healthy portion of the colon or small bowel is brought through the abdominal wall, inverted on itself and sutured in place to form a stoma. From that point forward, the individual is forever incontinent as their fecal stream is continuously diverted through their ostomy into a plastic bag (ostomy pouch) attached to their abdomen via adhesives, glues or belts. Zassi is developing a Continent Ostomy System that will consist of a family of single-use disposable and proprietary devices including: an ostomy sealing device, a moisture barrier, an irrigation system and a drainage sleeve. In addition to the disposables, the COS will include a means of controlling regional colonic motility. Zassi’s research indicates the failure to control regional colonic activity explains the disappointing results of many previous attempts at non-pouch, ostomy management alternatives. Zassi believes the inclusion of active colonic motility control in their Continent Ostomy System will ensure the reliable continence these consumers are searching for and will demand before abandoning their undesirable but predictable ostomy pouches.

The adiabatic expansion nozzle is a device that reduces the pressure and temperature of a fire-fighting agent discharged from a fire extinguisher. It works with any compressed liquid agent, such as carbon dioxide or Halon alternatives. In the case of CO2, a low-pressure dry ice snow is formed which minimizes splashing of a liquid fuel fire and reduces the tendency of hot surface re-ignition. The nozzle reduces the discharge pressure and temperature of the agent.
