At least 3 of the plurality of apertures in a repeat unit have a different Effective Aperture Area, according to the Aperture Test herein, a different shape, or a different Absolute Feret Angle, according to the Aperture Test herein. The absorbent article comprises an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the garment-facing laminate.

A cover for covering a patient support apparatus cushion includes a top cover layer, a lower cover layer configured to join with the top cover layer for enclosing a cushion there between, and an ePTFE membrane between the top cover layer and the lower cover layer to form a liquid barrier between the top cover layer and the cushion. In one form, the ePTFE membrane is attached to the top cover layer. In another form, the ePTFE membrane is unattached to the top cover layer.

Multilayer thermoplastic films, and laminates and articles comprising the films, wherein the film comprises at least one inner layer and at least two outer layers, wherein the inner layer comprises a polymeric composition comprising from about 55% to about 95% of one or more non-hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers, olefinic block copolymers, or combinations thereof; and each outer layer comprises at least 20% polypropylene and has a thickness of from about 5% to about 15% of the total film thickness, and further wherein the film has a constant force tear propagation of about 20% or less.

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.

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.

A patterned apertured web is disclosed. The patterned apertured web includes a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 3% to about 30%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The plurality of apertures include a first set of apertures defining a first shape and a second set of apertures defining a second shape. The first shape is positioned within the second shape.

The invention relates to the technical field of cohesive bandages. The invention relates to a bandage comprising a flat web material as a substrate, both main sides of the substrate being coated at least partially with a hot-melt adhesive. The invention also relates to a hot-melt adhesive for producing a bandage, to the use of a hot-melt adhesive for producing bandages, and to a method for producing a bandage. The hot-melt adhesive is based on a first polyolefin having—a proportion of 1-butene-derived monomer units; a proportion of ethylene-derived monomer units; and the hot-melt adhesive further comprises: at least one tackifier consisting of hydrocarbon resin and/or of hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin. The hot-melt adhesive can also contain a second polyolefin, preferably an amorphous polypropylene homo- or copolymer.

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.

A nonwoven web that contains a plurality of fibers formed from a polyolefm composition is provided. The polyolefin composition contains a rigid propylene polymer that has a relatively high melting temperature and modulus of elasticity, which can provide good strength and durability to the nonwoven web. The polyolefm composition also contains a ductile propylene polymer that has a relatively high melt flow index, which can help achieve relatively fine fibers that minimize the stiffness of the web. In addition to a rigid and ductile polymer, the polyolefin composition also contains a slip additive (e.g., fatty acid derivative). Among other things, such an additive can even further enhance the overall softness of the composition.

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.
