A medical device (10) is provided. The device comprises an elasticated textile body (12) having at least one opening (14,16) into which a limb may be inserted. The device further comprises at least one textile receptacle (17) welded to the elasticated textile body (12), the at least one receptacle containing a thermal storage medium.

An elastic diaper element that includes an elastic layer (1) and at least one layer (2) made of a nonwoven. The elastic element has connection regions (5) between the elastic layer (1) and the non-woven layer (2). The connection regions (5) extend in a preferred direction. The non-woven layer (2) is wavy when the diaper element is in the unstretched condition in order to provide regions (6) as a reserve allowing stretching. The connection regions (5) have an oscillating shape along their extent.

The invention relates to a connector assembly, a seam tape, a garment and a method to produce a connector assembly.

The present disclosure relates to methods for making elastomeric laminates that may be used as components of absorbent articles. The methods and apparatuses may be configured with a plurality of elastic strands wound onto a beam, wherein one or more elastic strands comprises a spin finish. During assembly of an elastomeric laminate, the beam is rotated to unwind the elastic strands from the beam. A portion of the spin finish may be removed from the advancing elastic strand with a spin finish removal apparatus. The spin finish removal apparatus may be configured to apply detergent to an advancing elastic strand and may also wipe and/or dry the advancing elastic strand. The treated stretched elastic strand may then be connected between a first substrate and a second substrate. In some configurations, adhesive may be applied to the treated the elastic strand, the first substrate, and/or the second substrate.

A method of manufacturing a panel for an article of apparel includes stretching a base layer from a resting configuration to a stretched configuration. The method further includes coupling a reinforcement layer to the base layer when the base layer is in the stretched configuration. The method also includes applying an auxetic structure to the reinforcement layer when the base layer is in the stretched configuration. The auxetic structure includes a plurality of interconnected members defining a repeating pattern of voids, and each void has a reentrant shape. The method further includes releasing the base layer to allow the base layer to return to the resting configuration.
