摘要:
A wearable absorbent hygiene article includes a liquid permeable top layer, a back layer, an absorbent member, an electronics unit, a power source and a switch. The liquid permeable top layer is adapted to face the wearer during use. The back layer is opposite to the top layer. The absorbent member is located between the top layer and the back layer. The switch operably couples the electronics unit to the power source. The switch is configured such that the power source supplies power to the electronics unit when the switch is in an ON state and such that the power source does not supply power to the electronics unit when the switch is in an OFF state. The power source, the switch and at least a portion of the electronics unit are disposed between the top layer and the back layer.

A method for manufacturing an absorbent body according to the present invention includes a first step of successively introducing an aggregate of absorbent fibers and a water-absorbent resin into a gap that is formed between a first surface and a second surface and is smaller than a thickness of the aggregate of the absorbent fibers, recesses and protrusions being formed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface, a second step of applying a shearing force to the aggregate of the absorbent fibers by moving the first surface relative to and parallel to the second surface in order to mix the absorbent fibers and the water-absorbent resin, and a third step of causing the absorbent fibers and the water-absorbent resin that were mixed to fall, and stacking the absorbent fibers and the water-absorbent resin by suctioning the absorbent fibers and the water-absorbent resin into a recessed portion having a predetermined shape.

A method for in vitro testing of an absorbent article includes the steps of inserting the absorbent article into a radiolucent simulated body cavity, placing the radiolucent simulated body cavity into a radiolucent pressure chamber, placing the radiolucent pressure chamber into a radiological device, pressurizing the radiolucent pressure chamber to a predetermined pressure, providing test liquid through the test liquid port and to the absorbent article, acquiring data relating to the absorbent article and the test liquid via the radiological device and an associated computing device, and analyzing the acquired data. The radiological pressure chamber includes a simulated body cavity arranged and configured to accommodate the absorbent article, a test liquid port, and a pressure control system. The radiolucent test device has at least one radio scanning element rotatable about radiolucent test device support having the pressure chamber disposed thereon.

A method and an apparatus for in vitro testing of catamenial tampon-and-applicator systems are disclosed. The apparatus comprises an in vitro receptacle for accepting tampons deployed during the testing procedure. The in vitro receptacle comprises a sleeve with a tampon-deflecting zone, representing an in vivo vaginal channel with a frontal area of a cervix.

The present invention provides a liquid removal system for applications where there is a need for liquid removal including laboratories and workshops as well as medical applications and dental applications. The urine acquisition zone of the liquid removal system of the present invention has a skin hydration value of less than 200 milligrams and hence reduces phenomena related to liquid rewet from the liquid removal system.
摘要:
An absorbent article is disclosed which exhibits enhanced wicking capability. The absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable cover, a liquid-impermeable baffle and an absorbent enclosed therebetween. The absorbent is constructed of first, second and third members. Each member has a wicking capability for body fluids discharged by a human body. The first member has a high wicking capability, the second member has a lower wicking capability than the first member, and the third member has a higher wicking capability than the second member. The different wicking capabilities of the three members promote a systematic distribution of body fluid away from the body-side cover down into the absorbent article. The second member also has an equal or greater width than either the first or third members so as to provide a visual cue of when the absorbent article is in need of changing. By changing the absorbent article when the second member appears to be soiled, the user can prevent side leakage and soiling of an adjacent undergarment.
