20220354710 · 2022-11-10 ·

A durable absorbent pant to be worn/used for managing menstrual flow and/or urinary incontinence is disclosed. The pant may include a crotch gusset with an absorbent assembly. The absorbent assembly may include an absorbent layer and a barrier layer disposed beneath the absorbent layer. The absorbent assembly may further include a liquid impermeable edge sealing structure comprising a liquid impermeable film, having an upper portion affixed to a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent assembly, and a lower portion beneath the absorbent layer. In some examples, the upper portion of the edge sealing structure includes a portion disposed inwardly of any outwardly-lying adjacent wearer-facing fabric surface, by a barrier margin having an average dimension greater than 0 mm. In some examples, the crotch gusset exhibits a maximum Longitudinal Elongation of 25 percent to 100 percent and a Longitudinal Tensile Modulus of 10 gf/mm to 100 gf/mm.

Peel and place dressing for negative-pressure therapy

A dressing for treating a tissue site with negative pressure may comprise a cover having an adhesive, a manifold, a perforated polymer film, and a perforated silicone gel having a treatment aperture. The cover, the manifold, the perforated polymer film, and the perforated silicone gel may be assembled in a stacked relationship with the cover and the perforated silicone gel enclosing the manifold. The perforated polymer film may be at least partially exposed through the treatment aperture, and at least some of the adhesive may be exposed through the perforated silicone around the treatment aperture.

Absorbent article

An absorbent article includes a topsheet comprising a composite sheet. In the composite sheet, projections that protrude toward the skin of the wearer are formed by a first sheet protruding in a direction away from a second sheet at portions other than bonding portions. A plurality of first oblique bonding portion rows and a plurality of second oblique bonding portion rows are formed, and a long bonding portion elongated in a longitudinal direction is formed at each intersection of the first oblique bonding portion rows and the second oblique bonding portion rows. Laterally long projections elongated in a width direction are formed in a dispersed manner in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. Each laterally long projection is surrounded by two first oblique bonding portion rows and two second oblique bonding portion rows, and the long bonding portion is formed between adjacent laterally long projections in the width direction.

DRESSING WITH VARIABLE CONTRACTION ZONES
20220031520 · 2022-02-03 ·

A manifold for treating a tissue site may include a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The second side of the manifold may be configured to face the tissue site, and to contract a greater amount than the first side of the manifold when exposed to a compressive force. In some illustrative examples, the manifold may be configured to distribute reduced pressure to the tissue site, and to contract when exposed to the reduced pressure. The manifold may be suitable for use with dressing assemblies, treatment systems, and methods for treating a tissue site.

Absorbent articles with improved topsheet dryness

Absorbent articles having three-dimensional, apertured, liquid permeable topsheets, acquisition materials, liquid permeable backsheets, and absorbent cores are disclosed. The absorbent articles provide improved topsheet dryness, reduced collagen rewet, and improved modified fluid acquisition.

Extensible dressings

The present invention relates to dressings such as bandages improved extensibility. The present invention further relates to dressings comprising an absorbent body and backing layer having improved extensibility.

Fixed Flat Cloth Diaper
20210386597 · 2021-12-16 ·

The diaper of the present invention is a fixed flat cloth diaper. The diaper is ‘fixed’, because an outer layer of the diaper resembles the final format of a flat, rectangular cloth diaper having been folded origami style into a shape suitable for donning on a wearer by a user. The outer layer functions primarily to retain the diaper upon the wearer and has a stomach panel for obtaining a good closure of the diaper on the wearer. The diaper is ‘flat’, because an inner layer of the diaper is attached to the outer layer, and the inner layer is a flat, rectangular shape which is customizable for absorbency and can be folded into a flat insert configuration of the user's choice prior to donning the diaper on the wearer. The inner layer functions primarily to absorb waste (urine and feces) excreted by the wearer.

Organic cotton surface nursing pad
11723812 · 2023-08-15 · ·

Described is a cotton surface nursing pad having both a proximal side and distal side. The proximal side is formed of a surface layer made of certified organic cotton, while the distal side is formed of a leakproof film later. Sandwiched between the surface layer and leakproof film layer are a first tissue layer, an absorbent core layer, and a second tissue layer. Notably, the absorbent core layer is formed of a combination of super absorbent polymer and fluff pulp, while the certified organic cotton is woven together using a half-cross pattern to form the surface layer.

Extensible dressings

The present invention relates to dressings such as bandages or tapes improved extensibility. The present invention further relates to dressings such as bandages or tapes which are extensible so as to at least partially conform to a body contour at wound surface upon stretching of the dressing.
