ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method and apparatus to wrap a filler material with a porous gauze and attach a handling cord. The gauze material is thermoplastic and is heat sealed around the filler material. A string is then pierced through the gauze wrapping in a location exterior to the filler. The sides of the wrapping are then brought together surrounding the pierced string or cord to fuse the cord to the wrapping gauze.
In a preferred form, the filler material is an absorbent for a tampon. After the fusing of the tampon withdrawal cord to the wrapping material, the tampon is compressed to the size conventionally utilized for a tampon and may be utilized either in a digital or applicator-type tampon.
