A reusable, discreet absorbent bed pad for medical use. The bed pad may include a base layer and an upper layer. The upper layer may include an aperture to receive an absorbent pad between the base layer and the upper layer such that a central portion of the absorbent pad is exposed through the aperture and an outer periphery of the absorbent pad is overlapped by the upper layer. A weighted blanket for medical use is also disclosed and claimed herein.

A disposable incontinence detection system monitors an area for incontinence events. The incontinence detection system includes a substrate having a length and a width defining a monitoring area. Additionally, the incontinence detection system includes a moisture sensor positioned within the monitoring area. The moisture sensor includes a circuit that includes traces spaced apart from each other such that the presence of moisture bridging a space between at least two of the traces will close the circuit. Additionally, the circuit includes a removable conductor coupled to one of the traces such that removal of the conductor irreversibly prevents the trace from closing the circuit. The moisture sensor is configured to determine whether the circuit has been closed.

The present invention is an absorbent mat, such as a bed pad or a change mat, e.g. for protecting an underlying support from soiling, with a perimeter seal to prevent side-way leakage, as well as method for the formation of such a pad or mat.

A patient monitor apparatus utilizing a base member holding a moisture sensor to form a moisture sensor unit. The moisture sensor unit includes a plurality of perforations to permit passage of urine. The moisture sensor unit generates a signal upon the presence of urine. A tilt sensor is also mounted to the base member and generates a signal upon the absence of turning movements of the patient. The moisture sensor is covered by a porous sheet which prevents premature alarms from moist skin.

Absorbent article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, a front portion, a rear portion and a middle portion located between the rear portion and the front portion is disclosed. The article has a first longitudinal side edge and a second longitudinal side edge extending in said longitudinal direction, and a first transverse side edge and a second transverse side edge extending in the transverse direction. The article includes a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core enclosed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a first and a second fastening tab attached to said article. The first and second fastening tabs each has a first surface including a first fastener and a second surface including a second fastener.

A system, apparatus, and method for detecting the presence and amount of liquid and/or solid excrement in diapers or other undergarments, using a miniature ultra-low power near-field electromagnetic probe, applicable circuitry, and additional sensor types, that is hand-held or attached to the outside of said garments

An absorbent pad with drawstring system; the absorbent pad with drawstring system includes an absorbent pad having a drawstring system and a planar body with multiple layers configured to absorb liquid-waste and collect solid-waste. The absorbent pad with drawstring system is provided for use in both professional environments and private households for collecting solid-waste and liquid-waste for sanitary containment and disposal of the solid-waste and the liquid-waste.

An enhanced comfort device for male incontinence has an open end and a distal tip portion. A securing portion is disposed along the open end and provides a securing force to removably and comfortable secure the device on a user's penis. The distal tip portion covers the glans of the user's penis and an absorbent is placed on an inner surface of the tip portion and absorbs any discharges such as urine to provide comfort without embarrassment to the user. The absorbent may be replaceable or the entire device may be discarded in a disposable embodiment. The securing portion may be made of an elastic material or the securing portion may a folded over portion of the sleeve material. A color indicator may be placed on the tip portion to indicate a medical condition. The color indicator may test for one condition or more medical conditions.
