In a pull-on absorbent article, pairs of joining sections that join an absorbent main body and a pair of belt sections to each other are provided, one pair being disposed on a front side and the other pair being disposed on a rear side in a front-rear direction, the absorbent main body including an absorbent body and being provided in a vertical direction, the pair of belt sections expanding and contracting in a lateral direction; a portion between the pair of joining sections on the rear side does not expand and contract in the lateral direction; an expanding-contracting section is provided closer than the absorbent body to a non-skin side of a wearer; and, in at least the rear side, the expanding-contracting section is provided at a central portion of the absorbent main body in the lateral direction.

Provided is a containment brief to be worn by a user for containing urine and feces. The containment brief includes a strip of stretchable resilient material having a first end and a second end, a first stretchable resilient side panel attached to the strip of stretchable resilient material along a first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material between the first end and the second end, a second stretchable resilient side panel attached to the strip of stretchable resilient material along a second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material between the first end and the second end, the first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material being opposite the second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, a first side dam disposed along the first side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, a second side dam disposed along the second side of the strip of stretchable resilient material, an absorbent pad disposed on a first surface of the strip of stretchable resilient material, the absorbent pad including a rectangular cut-out therein, and a sling disposed on the absorbent pad at least partially around the rectangular cut-out, wherein each of the first stretchable resilient side panel and the second stretchable resilient side panel includes at least one adhesive tab.

This male incontinence device provides a water-proof sleeve into which the penis is inserted. This sleeve contains an inner permeable membrane covering an absorbent micro-fiber material to collect excreted urine. The sleeve is long enough to collect between 7 and 16 fl. oz. of urine before needing to be removed and discarded. Because of its size and shape, the profile of the sleeve while being worn appears natural.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame and a mattress supported by the frame and arranged to support a patient thereon. A sensor is included to detect moisture on the patient and/or the patient support apparatus. The sensor produces signals indicative of the presence of moisture on the patient support apparatus. One or more alerts are output in response to the signals provided by the sensor to notify a caregiver of the presence of moisture on the patient support apparatus.

The invention relates to a disposable incontinence diaper (2), with a main part (4) comprising a front region (12), a rear region (16) with rear lateral longitudinal edges (18), and rear side portions (22) attached on both sides to the rear region (16), whereas no side portions (22) are attached to the front region (14), and instead front lateral longitudinal edges (14) of the main part (4) form a free-ending longitudinal edge of the diaper, wherein the rear side portions (22) can each be placed in a circumferential direction around the body of a user, in order to apply and close the disposable incontinence diaper (2) on the user, and can be brought into an overlapping arrangement with an outer face of the front region (12) at which they can then be affixed releasably via the respective closure means (28), wherein the rear side portions (22) have an extent Q in the transverse direction (10) in the state when spread out flat but not stretched, wherein the rear side portions (22) are elastically extensible within this extent Q in the transverse direction (10) and for this purpose have an elastic or elasticated region (42) extended in the transverse direction (10) and in the longitudinal direction (8), wherein this extent Q in the transverse direction (10) comprises a proximal portion (38), adjoining the rear lateral longitudinal edge (18), and a free-ending distal portion (40), and wherein the proximal portion (38), starting from the rear lateral longitudinal edge (18), extends in the transverse direction (10) by a length that is 65% of the extent Q of a rear side portion (22), characterized in that the respective elastic or elasticated region (42) of the rear side portions (22) is arranged completely within the proximal portion (38) and reaches the assigned rear lateral longitudinal edge (18) or is at a distance of at most 30 mm from the rear lateral longitudinal edge (18) in the transverse direction (10), and in that the respective rear side portions (22) are substantially non-extensible in the entire distal portion (40).

A method for using a disposable penile sheath for containing urinary incontinence after voluntary urination includes the steps of urinating voluntarily through a penis and providing a receptacle thereafter. The penis inserts through an opening into the receptacle wherein the receptacle contains urinary incontinence after voluntary urination. The penis is removed from the opening of the receptacle and the receptacle is disposed of thereafter.

A system for managing female incontinence includes a body of biocompatible material configured to fit between the labia minora and the vestibule floor, the body having a surface configured to occlude the urethral meatus, an adhesive carried on at least a first portion of the surface and configured to provide a sealing engagement between the body and the urethral meatus, and a substance carried by at least one of the body and the adhesive and configured for controlling the odor of the general vaginal-urethral area of a female.

A disposable absorbent undergarment assembly includes briefs that include a front panel and a rear panel attached along lateral edges and a bottom edge to form a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. Each of the lateral edges has a break therein extending through each of the waist opening an adjacent one of the leg openings. Closures are used for selectively opening or closing each break. An absorbent area is defined in a central area of the front and rear panels. An elastic band forms a continuous loop that is free of any breaks. The elastic band has an upper edge and a lower edge. A first mating member is attached to the lower edge and a second mating member is attached to the briefs adjacent to the waist opening. The first and second mating members releasably attach the elastic band to the briefs.

A system for managing female incontinence includes a body of biocompatible material configured to fit between the labia minora and the vestibule floor, the body having a surface configured to occlude the urethral meatus, a first adhesive layer disposed on at least a first portion of the surface and configured to provide a sealing engagement between the body and the urethral meatus, and a second adhesive layer disposed over the first adhesive layer and configured to provide a sealing engagement between the body and the urethral meatus, wherein the second adhesive layer is removable from the first adhesive layer.
