A hydrogen-supplying breathable layer in the present disclosure comprises: a thin layer wrapping a hydrogen-producing formula inside, having an airtight outer side as well as an air-permeable inner side on which a plurality of micro pores are opened and featuring a monolayer or a composite layer; a hydrogen-producing formula wrapped inside the thin layer and not dissipated but absorbing moistures in air or liquid water for generation of hydrogen; hydrogen permeating a plurality of micro pores and released to skin and intra-corporal parts. The hydrogen-producing formula in the hydrogen-supplying breathable layer comprises metal peroxides (metal hydroxides or metal hydrides) and aluminum powders (or silica powders); the breathable layer is applicable to a dressing pack or other sanitary paraphernalia in daily lives for relieving non-bacteria inflammations and promoting health care effects.

Described is a cotton surface nursing pad having both a proximal side and distal side. The proximal side is formed of a surface layer made of certified organic cotton, while the distal side is formed of a leakproof film later. Sandwiched between the surface layer and leakproof film layer are a first tissue layer, an absorbent core layer, and a second tissue layer. Notably, the absorbent core layer is formed of a combination of super absorbent polymer and fluff pulp, while the certified organic cotton is woven together using a half-cross pattern to form the surface layer.

A disposable nursing pad has one embodiment with three layers which before use are flat, and in use become cup-shaped. The first layer is an outermost layer, the second layer is a middle layer, and the third layer is an innermost layer. The outermost layer and the innermost layer are disk-shaped. The middle layer has a central body portion and a plurality of arms extending outwardly in a generally spiral pattern. Regions of the first and third layers between the spiral arms can be folded to allow contouring of the liner to the body of a nursing mother.

The present invention concerns an improved article of clothing for nursing, with features that enhance the user's ability to selectively and controllably expose one or both breasts while simultaneously presenting a more secure and stylish look, both when in use and when not in use. The invention allows for individual or dual breast access in a non-obvious form that can provide as much breast coverage as the mother feels comfortable with. When access to the breast is not in use, the clothing shows no signs of having specific nursing functionality. The invention can be applied to articles of clothing in many fashion design style forms. The invention is also able to optionally provide breast support via an internal brassiere, and nipple protection via removable pads.

A breast pad for receiving fluid leaked from a subject's breast includes an inner layer disposed for contacting the subject's breast. The inner layer has an inner surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The inner layer includes wicking material for wicking fluid from the inner surface to the outer surface away from the subject's breast. An intermediate layer is disposed over the outer surface of the inner layer. The intermediate layer includes an absorbent material for absorbing the fluid wicked from the subject's breast by the wicking material of the inner layer. An outer layer is disposed over the intermediate layer. The outer layer includes a liquid-impermeable material for trapping the fluid absorbed by the intermediate layer within the breast pad.

An apparatus that includes a mask is provided, the mask including one or more fixation anchoring devices, each configured to anchor to an at least one body part within a user, wherein the at least one body part includes at least a portion of one or more of an oral, nasal, pharyngeal, and a respiratory airway; one or more skin covers, each capable of covering at least a portion of the user's face, wherein one or more of the fixation anchoring devices are connected to one or more skin covers; one or more conduits, each connected to at least a portion of one of the skin covers, wherein one or more of a gas, solid, liquid, and gel are transmitted through each of the conduits; and one or more sealing pads, each connected to at least one of one of the skin coverings and one of the fixation anchoring devices.

A nursing pad assembly is described, combining adherence and water resistant advantages of silicone lamina with the comfort and absorption of an attached cloth layer. In particular, a nipple contact area passes through an aperture in the silicone lamina. In one embodiment the cloth layer includes at least three sub-layers engineered for toweling, wicking/absorption, and water resistant properties, respectively.

An absorbent garment has a pair of breast cups, each having a layer of moisture-wicking one-way transport material, an inner layer of absorbent terry cloth, an inner layer of foam, and an outer layer of water-resistant material. An inner face of the absorbent terry cloth is fully laminated to an outer face of the one-way transport material. An outer face of the absorbent terry cloth is fully laminated to an inner face of the foam. An outer edge of the one-way transport material is coupled to an outer edge of the foam. An outer face of the foam is fully laminated to an inner face of the water-resistant material. The absorbent terry cloth has an outer edge that does not extend to the outer edges of the one-way transport material or the foam such that the absorbent terry cloth is fully enclosed between the one-way transport material and the foam.

A penile condom catheter facilitates urine collection and egress of urinary fluids away from the body torso. A circumferential anchoring structure includes a web of flexible strands sized and arranged to at least partially contact a portion of the penis. The anchoring structure provides a flexible yet secure hold against the penis when flaccid and provides an increase in the hold when a longitudinal force is exerted upon the anchoring structure. An annularly circumferential penile skin covering material is affixed to the anchoring structure and sized to fit over at least a portion of the penis. A seal is affixed to at least a portion of a covering material, a covering material orifice, or an anchoring structure. A conduit is affixed to at least one of a covering material, a covering material orifice, a seal and an anchoring structure created to permit the flow of urinary fluid away.

The present invention relates to foam. In particular, the present invention relates to profiled foams and processes for profiling absorbent foam products. More particularly, the present invention relates to processes for producing a profiled absorbent polyurethane foam product, comprising the steps of foaming, curing, profiling and drying, wherein profiling occurs before drying; and absorbent aliphatic polyurethane foam products having at least one profiled surface.
