A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure includes a manifold having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The dressing also includes a first layer adjacent to the first surface and a second layer adjacent to the second surface. The first layer and the second layer each include a polymer film. The dressing also includes a plurality of fluid restrictions in the polymer film adjacent to at least the first surface, and a plurality of bonds between the first layer and the second layer. The plurality of bonds defines separable sections of the manifold.

A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and an auxiliary article.

Described herein are systems and apparatuses for enhanced comfort through contact pressure reduction. In particular, the systems and apparatuses disclosed herein prevent or otherwise mitigate pressure by actively orienting a patient over an anatomy-specific pressure-mitigating contact surface on which the patient rests. A pressure-mitigating contact portion of the contact surface includes a plurality of independently pressurized chambers configured in a specific geometric pattern that is designed to mitigate contact pressure between a support surface (e.g., bed or chair) and a specific anatomic region of a patient’s body when the specific anatomic region of the patient’s body is oriented over an epicenter of the geometric pattern. Additionally, a plurality of elevated side support portions and a wedge interconnected on the base material are configured to actively orient the specific anatomic region of the patient’s body over the epicenter of the geometric pattern.

A garment having an absorbent portion that includes a central absorbent portion having opposing sides, a first gasket portion formed on the central absorbent portion, and a second gasket portion formed on the first gasket portion. In some variations, the garment may include a pair of briefs having an opening for a wearer's torso and leg openings for each of the wearer's legs. The leg openings may include leg cuffs that may include one or more of: light ruching on or inside the leg cuffs, stretch binding or a stretch seam formed on an outer edge of the light ruching, and/or absorbent binding on the leg cuffs.

A sanitary pad system includes a first pad and a second pad. The first pad has a first set of fastening tabs and the second pad has a second set of fastening tabs. The two sets of fastening tabs are offset so that, when the two pads are stacked in overlapping relationship on an undergarment, both pads are directly attached to the undergarment with the associated fastening tabs.

Embodiments relate to reusable absorbent inserts, assemblies, and methods for use, the inserts including a configurable pad and pad collection sleeve. The configurable pad includes a first section and a second section, the second section separated from the first section at least partially by a folding guide. The configurable pad has an unfolded pad plan surface area comprising an unfolded pad width when the reusable absorbent insert is in an unfolded, flat-out configuration. The pad collection sleeve has an unfolded sleeve plan surface area including an unfolded sleeve width when the reusable absorbent insert is in an unfolded, flat-out configuration. The unfolded pad width is greater than or substantially equal to the unfolded sleeve width.
