Abstract

An incontinence pad, for example for use as a garment or on a bed comprises a layer of foamed material bonded to a layer of terry material whose pile faces away from the layer.

Description

INCONTINENCE PAD This invention relates to an incontinence pad which may be placed on a bed, chair or other structure upon which an incontinent person may be disposed. The invention finds particular but not exclusive use in care of bed or chair ridden persons.
According to the present invention an incontinence pad comprises a sheet of foamed plastics material, a sheet of single sided terry fabric overlying the plastics material with the pile facing away from the latter, the plastics material being bonded to the terry fabric.
Flame bonding of the plastics material to the fabric is preferred because the flamed surface of the foam enhances the wicking properties of the latter. Adhesive bonding may also be employed.
The pad may have a lower waterproof layer, for example composed of air/vapour permeable, water impermeable sheeting.
Alternatively a pad intended for placement over a conventional absorbent pad may have no waterproof lower layer. A further alternative pad may be shaped to form an insert in a pair of pants, for example shaped as a diaper for either adult or infant use. The pad may also form a complete undergarment, for example shaped as a pair of elasticated pants.
Use of an open celled foamed material is preferred to enhance drainage of liquid away from the terry fabric. A sponge pore foam is especially preferred. the foam may be treated with a bacteriocidal additive. A foamed layer having a thickness of 6 to 30 mm may be employed, preferably 14 mm dependent on the amount of orthopaedic support needed by the user. Use of polyurethane foam is preferred.
The terry fabric may comprise terry towelling, for example composed of 100% polyester or less preferably 75% cotton and 25 polyester or 100% cotton. Fabric having a -2 -2 density of 100 to 350 gm 2 preferably 220gm 2 for 100% polyester fabricor, 180 gum 2 for 75% cotton 25% polyester -2 fabric or 240 gm 2 for 100% cotton fabric may be employed.
The backing material, if employed, may preferably comprise any suitable air/vapour permeable, water impermeable sheeting, for example polyvinyl chloride having a thickness of 0.1 mm.
Alternatively polyethylene sheeting, which is preferably embossed to prevent sliding of the pad in use may be employed.
A pad in accordance with this invention may have any convenient size e.g. 35 x 60 cm.
The invention is further described by means of example, and not in any limitative sense with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows a cross sectional view of a pad in accordance with the invention.
The drawing shows a pad disposed on a bed 1. A layer of open-celled, polyurethane sponge pore foam 4 having a thickness of 14 mm is covered by a layer of single sided terry towelling material 3, the pile of the towelling facing upwardly, away from the foam. The foam may have a hardness of 100 to 140N and a density of 17 to 19 kgm 3. A bacteriocidal additive may be present in the foam. A preferred foam is DRAKA SPONGE manufactured by Draka Foam Limited. The towelling has a density of 220 gm 2 and is composed of 100% polyester. In an alternative embodiment the cover material 3 may comprise 25% polyester and 75% cotton fabric having a density of 180 gm 2. This has the advantage of superior wicking properties. The towelling and foam are laminated together by flame bonding or by an adhesive so that they are bonded over their entire area of contact. A waterproof material 5 underlying the foam is sewn or otherwise bonded around the periphery 2 of the pad. the waterproof material may comprise 0.1 mm thick polyvinyl chloride.
