The present invention relates to the field of medical diagnostics and more specifically, to identification of amniotic fluid.

An article for baby care or feminine care comprising a wetness indicator comprising at least one colorant, at least one stabilizer, and from 0.1% to 70% by weight of a hardening agent and a crystallizing agent, and wherein the wetness indicator has at least three of five parameters ranges for hot to cold solidification rate, cold to hot melting rate, set point, melt point, and infinite shear rate.

The present subject matter relates to absorbent articles and signaling devices for use therewith. The signaling device includes one or more non-invasive sensors configured to detect the presence of a substance, such as a body fluid, in the absorbent article. The signaling device can provide an audible and/or visible alert to the user of the absorbent article when it detects the presence of a substance. The absorbent article includes one or more identifiable characteristics the presence of which permits operation of the signaling device. In this manner, the present disclosure provides for product and signaling device matching for use.

The present disclosure provides an absorbent article for personal hygiene. More particularly, in one embodiment, the absorbent article absorbent article includes at least one property changing indicator. A detector device is also provided that includes at least one sensor. The sensor is adapted to detect the property change of the property change indicator in the absorbent article. In one particular embodiment, for example, the property changing indicator may include an optical property indicator such as a color change indicator and the sensor may include an optical sensor such as a color sensor.

In an embodiment, a garment, such as a smart pull-up, includes at least one outer section and a midsection attached to the outer section. The midsection includes a first antimicrobial membrane patch layer configured to contact a wearer's body, a second antimicrobial membrane patch layer disposed adjacent to the first antimicrobial patch layer, and an air gap disposed between the first patch and second antimicrobial patch layers. The first and second antimicrobial patch layers each are formed from respective balanced warp big tows and fill tows in a plain-weave pattern, and each layer include copper filaments disposed in a plurality of the tows, each of the copper filaments including at least Cu+/Cu+++ ions. Such a smart pull-up may be suitable for either adult who cannot use the toilet, or child, or healthy adult and, therefore, may urinate and defecate himself/herself.

The present disclosure relates to absorbent hygiene articles having a substantially continuous channel (4) and a wetness indicator (5) which can indicate the presence of a liquid bodily exudate in the article. The continuously extending wetness indicator (5), as seen from the garment-facing side of the article, is coincident with the longitudinal center line (LCL) of the article and comprises an overlapping portion (51) superposed with at least part of the longitudinally extending channel central section (41), and an exposed portion (52) superposed with absorbent material at least partially surrounded by channel sections (42,43) closer to the front transverse edge (3) of the article. Such a combination of channel and wetness indicator may offer an easy-to-manufacture absorbent article able to indicate a sequence of wetting events and to give an accurate indication of how full the article is.

The present disclosure provides an absorbent article for personal hygiene. More particularly, in one embodiment, the absorbent article absorbent article includes at least one property changing indicator. A detector device is also provided that includes at least one sensor. The sensor is adapted to detect the property change of the property change indicator in the absorbent article. In one particular embodiment, for example, the property changing indicator may include an optical property indicator such as a color change indicator and the sensor may include an optical sensor such as a color sensor.

A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and a sensor. The absorbent article may comprise a garment-facing layer and an absorbent assembly. The sensor may be disposed in or on the absorbent article. The sensor may be separable from the absorbent article. A portion of the sensor may have a first dimension and a second dimension, wherein the first dimension is at least 1 inch and the second dimension is at least 2 inches. The sensor may be configured to sense a change in condition within the absorbent article.
