Acrochordon Excising Bandage
A bandage system lances a skin tag from a person's body and thereafter projects the wound created. The system has a base layer that is adhesively attached to the person such that the skin tag passes through an opening of the base layer. A cutter is located atop the base layer and uses a pair of blades that are squeezed together to cut the skin tag protruding through the opening. After cutting, a protective layer is adhered to the base layer such that a medicine laden absorbent pad on the protective layer overlays the opening on the base layer absorbing any blood from the wound and applying the medicine to the wound. Thereafter, the system is worn as a typical bandage.

Disposable hygienic article with means for diagnostic testing
A disposable, wearable article can be used for collecting a sample and performing urinalysis. The article incorporates a test port feature to simplify this function. The test port has a resealable cover that can be used to selectively expose an aperture through the backsheet of the disposable article. The test port is used to position test devices, such as urine test strips to urine collected in the disposable article.
FLUID COLLECTION ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A TUBE HAVING POROUS WICKING MATERIAL FOR IMPROVED FLUID TRANSPORT
An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier at least defining a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber and a tube in fluid communication with the fluid outlet, the tube including a hydrophilic material exhibiting a porous structure configured to wick fluid from the chamber without the assistance of a pump.

Intergluteal shield
An intergluteal shield being a crescent or heart shaped or other shaped pad having a soft fabric exterior and lacking any waterproof layers, the pad being sized to fit into the intergluteal space of a human keeping the location dry. The intergluteal shield can be used to alleviate diaper rash, Hexsel's hydrosis and other intergluteal irritations.

Collapsible menstrual cup
The collapsible menstrual cup prevents spillage by absorbing menstrual fluids. Separating the absorbent elements into discrete pieces allows for a nested, collapsed, flat state, and an expanded, separated state. Discrete pieces being individual elements able to move with respect to each other, in contrast to a unified layer of material that would fold when moved from a flat shape to a cupped shape. Thus, storing multiple devices on one's person is simplified without compromising functionality. The absorbent elements are shaped like flower petals, radiating outward from a central point. At the center is an optional central absorbent element. In the collapsed position the absorbent elements take positions in close proximity, nesting next to each other. In the expanded position for use, the absorbent elements spread out, allowing the reservoir to expand, preparing for use.
