The present disclosure generally relates to an absorbent pad for use in a garment. The absorbent pad includes: a liquid impermeable barrier layer; a functional layer attached to the barrier layer, the functional layer comprising a liquid absorbent component; a liquid impermeable peripheral sealing element bonded to peripheries of the functional layer and barrier layer; and a peripheral attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion bonded to the peripheral sealing element. The second portion of the peripheral attaching element is detached from the peripheral sealing element and is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment.

An amputation dressing includes a wound contact layer that includes a central panel and three or more petals extending radially from the central panel. The wound contact layer also includes a tube of elastic material twisted to form a point. The point is located substantially centrally along a length of the tube. The tube of elastic material is coupled to the central panel proximate the point. The tube is rolled from a first end of the tube to the point to form a first roll and from a second end of the tube to the point to form a second roll.

Cellulosic pulp structures integrating unreacted quantities of an inorganic peroxide and a destabilizing acid, as binary components of an odor control system, absorbent articles incorporating such structures, and various methods of forming the same, are disclosed herein. The components are adapted to react in the presence of an aqueous fluid to produce hydrogen peroxide, thereby providing an antimicrobial and odor mitigating effect.

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.sup.+/Cu.sup.+++ 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.

An absorbent article includes an absorbent core, a liquid impervious backsheet, a liquid pervious topsheet, a functional layer, an adhesive layer and a releasable film. The functional layer includes a plurality of functional particles that are made from a material selected from sodium carbonate, argireline, mineral rock crystal, porphyritic andesite, borneol, mint essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, jasmine essential oil, far-infrared radiation particles and combinations thereof.

The present disclosure generally relates to an absorbent pad for use in a garment. The absorbent pad includes: a liquid impermeable barrier layer; a functional layer attached to the barrier layer, the functional layer comprising a liquid absorbent component; a liquid impermeable peripheral sealing element bonded to peripheries of the functional layer and barrier layer; and a peripheral attaching element having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion bonded to the peripheral sealing element. The second portion of the peripheral attaching element is detached from the peripheral sealing element and is arranged to be attached to a fabric body of the garment, thereby attaching the absorbent pad to the garment.

An absorbent article has a planar direction and a thickness direction. The absorbent article includes a volatile first functional component, a volatile second functional component, water-disintegrable microcapsules that contain the second functional component, and a solvent that keeps the second functional component contained inside the microcapsules. Between a liquid-permeable layer and an absorption layer, the absorbent article has functional composition coated regions that extend in the planar direction and that are coated with the functional composition, and has adhesive coated regions that extend in the planar direction and that are coated with an adhesive. The adhesive coated regions have an adhesive region that directly or indirectly joins the liquid-permeable payer and the absorption layer.

The present invention relates to a disposable absorbent article that can be fully compostable, wherein such article contains, as sole absorbent material, one or more silicon-based products selected from: hydrated aluminosilicates and fumed silica, optionally in combination with other silica-based compounds and/or natural silica, processes for the preparation of such article and for the preparation of said absorbent material.

According to one embodiment, an absorbent article includes a moisture-impervious outer layer, an inner layer substantially co-extensive with the outer layer, and an absorbent layer interposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. The inner layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial booster. The absorbent layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial agent.

A garment is provided, the garment comprising a base fabric layer having an inner surface and an outer surface, the base fabric layer further having on the inner surface, an absorption region and a non-absorption region. In a particular implementation, the non-absorption region is configured to be in contact with the skin of a wearer of the garment. The garment further includes a moisture prevention insert that includes a moisture resistance layer in contact with the absorption region of the base fabric layer, wherein the moisture resistance layer includes at least two sub layers, each sub layer having a thermoplastic polyurethane coating; a fluid absorption layer configured in contact with the moisture resistance layer; and a mesh layer configured to have one surface thereof in contact with the fluid absorption layer and an opposing surface thereof in contact with the skin of the wearer.
