An absorbent article such as disposable diaper, training pant, and adult incontinence undergarment comprising an absorbent structure comprising superabsorbent polymer particles, the article being able to absorb and contain body exudates and having improved absorption properties and therefore being able to reduce leakage, especially at the first gush, i.e. when the article starts to be wetted.

A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include a urine collecting assembly having a body, a sealing flange, and a reservoir within the body and partially defined by the sealing flange. The sealing flange can define an opening such that the interior of the body is accessible via the opening. A peripheral edge of the opening can be configured to seal around a shaft of a penis of a user disposed through the opening. The urine collecting assembly can also include an outlet in fluidic communication with the reservoir. The urine collecting assembly can be arranged such that a fluid can flow into the body from the urethral opening of the user's penis, collect in the reservoir, and flow out of the outlet.

An oxygen impregnated material suitable for an oxygenating therapeutic to treat wounds with oxygen. The impregnated material avoids the applicational complications associated with conventional oxygen therapeutics, such as reliance on gaseous oxygen, systemic toxicity, and patient immobility. This impregnated material can be used, for example, in bandage-type dressings, or a drape of a vacuum-assisted closure (VAC). This impregnated material can also be used in a diaper to treat and reduce the formation of a rash on the skin.

Ureteral catheters and assemblies are provided including: a drainage lumen including a proximal portion configured to be positioned in at least a portion of a patient's urethra and a distal portion configured to be positioned in a patient's ureter and/or kidney, the distal portion including a coiled retention portion including at least a first coil having a first diameter and a second coil having a second diameter, the first diameter being less than the second diameter; or wherein the retention portion extends radially outwardly from a portion of the distal end of the drainage lumen portion, the retention portion including a proximal end having a first diameter, a distal end having a second diameter, and a wall and/or surface extending therebetween, the retention portion having a second diameter is greater than the first diameter when deployed; or wherein the retention portion includes a plurality of drainage tubes.

A system for monitoring at least one characteristic of biological material of an individual includes a wearable product. The wearable product includes an outer surface and a skin contact surface defining an internal area. An analysis portal is disposed in the internal area, and includes a sensing portion and an investigation portion. The sensing portion has at least one sensor, and the investigation portion that includes a computing device having a health screener. The sensing portion of the analysis portal comes into contact with a biological material of the individual, and the health screener is configured to determine at least one characteristic of the biological material. The computing device is communicatively coupled to the sensors and the display.

Particular embodiments of the inventive technology may provide an incontinence pad that includes projection, such as a raised ridge, or a short length projection, that extends from a pad base of and effects application of a force against the urethra of a user (the force, typically upward, that may result from sitting by the user and/or tight fitting shorts and/or pulling a cord attached to the projection); the projection may act to transfer a force from the projection to the urethra. This force may partially or entirely obstruct flow of urine through, or out of the urethra, that might occur otherwise (i.e., without the projection). Another example of the many independent aspects of the inventive technology relates to the provision, as part of an incontinence pad, of a cord that is attached to part of the pad, such as (in only certain embodiments) the aforementioned upward projection.

The present disclosure relates to an incontinence diaper for use by males. The diaper encloses a penis that is secured to the diaper by a strap found within the diaper. This diaper improves the prior art by minimizing the amount of skin that is exposed to urine that is involuntarily escaping the penis, accommodate penises of varying diameter and lengths, may be reused, and is simple to use and discreet.

A personal urinary device for a female has a straight, round tube of biodegradable material, having one end exhibiting an angle with a plane perpendicular to an axis of the tube, a lip having a diameter larger than the outside diameter of the tube, on the outside of the tube at a first distance from an end opposite the angled end, and a rounded element at the end opposite the angled end.

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.

Negative pressure therapy systems are provided for increasing urine production, the negative pressure therapy system including: (a) a pump assembly, the pump assembly including: (i) a pump configured to provide negative pressure to a kidney, and (ii) a controller configured to regulate the negative pressure provided by the pump within a pressure range that facilitates increased urine production from the kidney.
