Integrated cutting and spinning mechanisms re-pitch absorbent pads, reducing device wear while maintaining manufacturing precision.
Microencapsulated phase change particles in a foam layer reduce contact temperature by 1-2°F, mitigating trans-epidermal water loss and skin irritation.
Segmented adhesive tapes apply high peel-off forces for secure attachment while using lower forces to prevent surface damage during opening.
Elastic strips pull outer flaps laterally to prevent lateral leakage of body exudates caused by chassis contraction creases.
A two-component skin dressing uses a nitrite layer and acidic hydrogel to generate nitric oxide directly on the wound surface.
Longitudinal folded side regions transition between bonded and unbonded configurations to manage leakage protection and body conformity.
Fixed and movable hooks form side holding grooves to secure pattern plates, eliminating bolt-based fastening for easier detachment.
A photochromic ink composition on absorbent article surfaces becomes visible under ultraviolet light exposure.
Merging side panels with closure mechanisms reduces manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining reliable refastenable functionality.
Varying dot-like joint density across a buffer section prevents elastic film rupture at the boundary between stretchable and non-stretchable regions.
