Abstract

An absorbent article in the form of a closely-woven single-layered fabric sheet (12) which has incorporated therein an elongated radiopaque element (54) embedded in multiple folds (36, 38) along at least one edge (26) of the sheet. The radiopaque element (54) preferably is unattached to the fabric (12), but rather is mechanically captured within a first fold (36) that is further folded inwardly of and onto the top surface (29) of the fabric sheet. The fabric sheet is woven of absorbent yarns and in a weave pattern which produces a tight weave such that the article is suitable for use as a drape in a surgical procedure, or in the nature of a laparotomy sponge. A method for the manufacture of the absorbent article is disclosed.
