ABSTRACT:
An incontinence device consisting of a rectangular pad of absorbent material incorporating along its upper surface at least one strip of a skeleton polyester foam material, the function of which is to enable urine to flow rapidly to the surface of those regions of the pad not immediately saturated by urine. In a preferred embodiment there are provided three strips of skeleton foam, two peripheral and one along the center line of the pad, to enhance further the capability of the device to absorb urine at high flow rates. A layer of hydrophyllic material may be provided between the foam strips and an outer permeable cover to enhance the wetting properties of the device at low flow rates and to eliminate discomfort caused to the patient by the rough surface of the foam material.
