A woodpulp-free urine pad includes from top to bottom a top sheet, a perforated film layer, a core layer and a bottom layer, wherein the perforated film layer is made by perforating the surface of the waterproof material, the core layer comprises an upper adhesive layer, a lower adhesive layer and a water accepting layer which is mad of SAP polymeric particle between the upper and lower adhesive layers. The utility model has a strong ability to prevent liquid infiltration, and it removes away the wood pulp in the core layer to save a large amount of wood and to protect the environment. A production equipment for producing the woodpulp-free urine pad includes a feeding channel which is composed of a plurality of back-up rolls, follow the direction of forward motion of the feeding channel, there is sequentially provided with a material shelf of lower adhesive layers, an adding mechanism of water accepting layers, a material shelf of upper adhesive layers, a material shelf of bottom layers, a material shelf of top sheet and a cutting table, in order to facilitate the production of the woodpulp-free urine pad.

A portable urinal includes: a moisture solidification layer containing a super absorbent polymer; and a plate-shaped support member supporting the moisture solidification layer and having a hollow portion; and a shape retaining wire retaining the plate-shaped support member in the form of an alphabet “C”, wherein the shape retaining wire has a single closed curve in the form of covering the plate-shaped support member and is provided along the edge of the plate-shaped support member.

A negative pressure therapy system is provided for inducing negative pressure in a portion of a urinary tract of a patient, the system including: (a) at least one ureteral catheter configured to be positioned within a ureter and/or kidney of a patient; (b) one or more sensor(s) configured to determine information about urine produced within a urinary tract of the patient; and (c) a controller configured to increase urine production of the patient by adjusting one or more operating parameters of a negative pressure source for inducing negative pressure through the at least one ureteral catheter into the urinary tract of the patient, based at least in part upon the information determined by the one or more sensor(s).

A disposable urine trap in the form of a foldable pad that envelops the male genitalia and closes around the organ to form a barrier that prevents urine from escaping the trap. The pad includes an asymmetric pair of wings that are separated by a gap and attached to the main body of the pad. The first wing is preferably trapezoidal and a second wing having an extending distal edge.

A portable urinal includes: a moisture solidification layer containing a super absorbent polymer; and a plate-shaped support member supporting the moisture solidification layer and having a hollow portion; and a shape retaining wire retaining the plate-shaped support member in the form of an alphabet “C”, wherein the shape retaining wire has a single closed curve in the form of covering the plate-shaped support member and is provided along the edge of the plate-shaped support member.

Absorbent articles with biodegradable and/or biocompostable elements are disclosed, wherein the absorbent articles include sensors. The sensors detect and determine variables associated with collected fluids, solids, and gases, including a presence of fluids, solids, and gases, a volume of fluids, solids, and gases, and/or a distribution of fluids, solids, and gases. In one embodiment, the sensors and/or connected computing systems are calibrated to capacities and other properties of elements within the articles, including superabsorbent polymers, and are operable to trigger an alert based on detected or determined conditions.

In one embodiment, an array of packages may comprise three or more different sizes of disposable absorbent articles. The Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette of a second absorbent article may be equal to or less than a Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette of a first absorbent article. And the Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette of a third absorbent article may be equal to or less than a Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette of a second absorbent article. And, an Array Average Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette of first and second packages of the array may be from about 1.1 to about 0.3. Further, an Array Average Product-Hip-to-Side Silhouette may be from about 1.0 to about 1.7

An absorbent article has an absorbent body with a colored fiber layer colored in a different color from a color of any member other than the absorbent body across a whole in a front-back direction and a width direction thereof. The colored fiber layer is visually recognizable from an outside.

Further, an Array Average Product-Hip-to-Side Silhouette may be from about 1.0 to about 1.7.

A riser provides a support platform for a patient and includes a resilient pad covered by mesh material for supporting a patient. The mesh material and resilient pad are porous and allow liquid waste from the patient to pass through to an absorbent pad, keeping the patient dry and separated from the liquid waste.
