Liquid-proof incontinence pants

Abstract

Fluid-tight incontinence pants (1), in particular reusable textile-based pull-on pants, with a fluid-tight, breathable outer layer (1a), a skin-facing inner layer (1b), an elastic waistband (1c) and elastic leg hems (1d), wherein the seams (1f) provided for joining the individual parts are sealed fluid-tight by means of applied sweatbands (1e), characterized in that a mesh reinforcement or a mesh pad (1h) connecting the two leg areas is arranged in the crotch area between the leg hem openings, which is designed as a load- and wear-absorbing reinforcement element and increases the mechanical durability and wearing comfort of the incontinence pants.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a fluid-tight incontinence pant, in particular a reusable, textile-based pant for persons with urinary and / or fecal incontinence. State of the art

[0002] Well-known incontinence briefs often have the following disadvantages: • insufficient liquid tightness, especially in the crotch area, • Limited wearing comfort due to stiff or poorly breathable materials, • Low durability in areas of high mechanical stress, especially in the crotch area.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for incontinence pants that reliably combine liquid tightness, wearing comfort and mechanical durability. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a fluid-tight incontinence pant that offers reliable protection against bodily fluids while also providing a high level of wearing comfort and improved durability, particularly in the crotch area. Summary of the invention

[0005] The task is solved by a fluid-proof incontinence pant with a fluid-proof, breathable outer layer made of microfiber fabric, a skin-facing inner layer made of brushed microfiber fabric, an elastic waistband, elastic leg hems and fluid-proof sealed seams.

[0006] According to the invention, in the middle area between the leg hem openings, in particular in the crotch area, a mesh reinforcement or a mesh pad connecting the two leg areas is arranged, which is designed as a load- and wear-absorbing reinforcement element and improves the mechanical stability and wearing comfort of the incontinence pants. Preferred embodiment

[0007] The incontinence briefs are designed as pull-on briefs. The outer layer is made of fluid-proof, breathable microfiber fabric. The inner layer is made of brushed, optically dyed microfiber fabric.

[0008] The waistband and leg openings are elasticated, with the waistband also featuring an adjustable drawstring. The seams are sealed with sweatbands to prevent liquid leakage.

[0009] In the crotch area, a mesh reinforcement or mesh padding is provided, which is connected to the inner layer in a form-fitting, force-fit or material-fit manner, in particular over a surface, for example by sewing, welding or gluing.

[0010] The mesh reinforcement is preferably designed to be material- or structure-reinforced relative to the inner layer in order to absorb tensile, compressive and frictional forces occurring in the step area and to reduce material fatigue.

[0011] The back area of ​​the incontinence pants is preferably seamless and made in one piece to avoid pressure points and increase wearing comfort.

[0012] The invention relates to a liquid-tight, reusable incontinence pant with a liquid-tight outer layer, a skin-facing inner layer, an elastic waistband and elastic leg hems and sealed seams.

[0013] In the crotch area between the leg openings, a mesh reinforcement or mesh pad connecting the two leg areas is arranged, which is designed as a load- and wear-absorbing reinforcement element and improves the durability and wearing comfort of the incontinence pants.
