The present invention discloses an absorbent article for attachment to the interior of a child potty/bed pan or to be worn on an user. The absorbent article composes an absorbent core, first absorbent channel layer, intermediate channel layer and top permeable layer composes made up of permeable materials and further includes a material capable of converting a liquid substance to a gel-like substance. Specifically, regions of the absorbent core first absorbent channel layer and intermediate channel layer may include a super absorbent polymer (SAP) material such as hydrogel, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylate absorbents, or a biodegradable material such as a powder corn starch or wheat mixture or a combination of super absorbent polymer (SAP) and a biodegradable material.

A sleep apparatus, such as a mattress, comprises a head support surface sized to support a person's head, and a torso support surface sized to support a person's torso. The head support surface is generally laterally sloped moving from a first side toward a second side of the mattress, and the torso support surface is generally laterally sloped moving from the first side toward the second side. In some embodiments, the lateral slope of the head support surface is at least about 15°, the lateral slope of the head support surface is greater than the lateral slope of the torso support surface, and/or, the sleep apparatus slopes in the longitudinal direction as well.

Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for collecting bodily waste as well as separating the liquids from the solids in the bodily waste. The devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein utilize a bodily waste separation device having an at least semi-rigid tray, a lid fluidly sealed to the at least semi-rigid tray, an output manifold fluidly sealed to the at least semi-rigid tray, an intake configured to fluidly connect the interior region of the at least semi-rigid tray to a source outside of the separation device, and a filter disposed between the at least semi-rigid tray and the output manifold.

The present disclosure is related to devices for controlling the flow of urine primarily for bedridden patients while in a hospital setting. A device for protecting a patient from constant exposure to urine which may lead to discomfort, skin irritation, infection and subsequent death. The device is designed to secure the genitalia in a leak proof chamber and draw urine away from the skin.

The present invention is directed to a substrate, in particular textile material to which one or more antimicrobial and/or hydrophilic and/or stain release agents are adhered. The agent(s) is/are adhered to the substrate in such a manner that they are not released from the textile even if the textile is wetted or washed, so that the textile is reusable. Washability and/or usability of the textile are improved where one or more hydrophilic and/or stain release agents are adhered to the textile. The substrate can be used, e.g., in a reusable sanitary napkin or other hygiene product. The structure of the hygiene product is disclosed, together with a process of attaching the different layers of the hygiene product together by ultrasonic welding. The invention further relates to a method of finishing a substrate by applying and binding antimicrobial and/or hydrophilic and/or stain release agents to the substrate so that the agents are essentially irreversibly adhered to the finished substrate.
