Abstract

On décrit un tampon et son procédé de fabrication. Le procédé consiste à couper un élément absorbant séparé dans une longueur d'absorbant. Chaque élément absorbant est ensuite façonné pour former un absorbant allongé comportant un pourtour externe. Une enveloppe perméable aux liquides est fixée sur le pourtour externe de l'absorbant allongé pour former un enroulement souple. Ce dernier comporte des première et deuxième extrémités et est replié sur lui-même de sorte que les première et deuxième extrémités sont alignées adjacentes l'une à l'autre. L'enroulement souple comprend deux plis intercalés qui le divisent en une première, une deuxième et une troisième partie. Un cordon de retrait est fixé à la deuxième partie de l'enroulement, lequel est ensuite comprimé en un tampon de forme cylindrique. Le tampon comprimé comprend une extrémité d'introduction et une extrémité arrière, l'extrémité d'introduction étant située juste à côté de la deuxième partie. Le tampon comprimé et le cordon de retrait associé constituent un tampon dont l'extrémité d'introduction peut se replier sur elle-même lorsqu'une pression s'exerce sur le cordon de retrait pour assurer un retrait sans gêne à partir de la cavité corporelle.
