Abstract

An absorbent pad 1 has adhesive 4 on one face 3, allowing it to be stuck to a surface. The pad is sterilized and supplied in sterile packaging. Preferably, the adhesive forms a strip near to one edge of the pad and is protected by a release paper 5 which may have a tab 6 to facilitate removal of the paper. One edge of the pad may be thicker than the rest of it (figure 6) and the top edge may be concave in order to channel fluid (figure 4). The pad may have an outer, impermeable layer.

Description

An Absorbent Article The present invention relates to an absorbent article. Some embodiments of the invention are particularly suitable for use during surgery or other healthcare procedures.
The present invention and its background art will be described with particular reference to surgery and other healthcare procedures, although it will be appreciated, on considering the present specification, that the invention may find a variety of other uses.
A variety of absorbent articles are known in the art. In a relatively simple form, an absorbent article may simply consist of absorbent material, e.g. in the form of a pad, which can simply be held in place by hand, or secured in place by means of a separate adhesive tape. The absorbent article would normally be placed such that it can soak up fluids. The present invention has been made with a view to providing an absorbent article having an alternative construction.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides an article comprising: a pad portion comprising absorbent material; an adhesive portion provided on, in or at the pad portion to enable the article to be adhered to a surface; wherein the article is in a sterile condition and is packaged in sterile packaging.
Other aspects are set out in the claims.
Sortie embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a front view of an absorbent article according to an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 shows a rear view of the absorbent article of Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows a rear view of an absorbent article according to a further embodiment of the invention.
Figure 4 shows a rear view of an absorbent article according to a further embodiment of the invention.
Figure 5 shows a top view of the article of Figure 3.
Figure 6 shows a side view of a fUrther embodiment of an absorbent article according to the invention.
Figure 7 shows one possible use of absorbent articles according to embodiments of the present invention.
Figure 8 shows a front view of a further embodiment of an absorbent article according to the invention.
Figure 1 shows an absorbent article 1. The absorbent article is primarily made from absorbent material, for example highly absorbent material, either in a single layer or a multi-layer construction. The particular material(s) may depend on the intended use, and one skilled in the art will not have any difficulties in choosing appropriate absorbent materials having suitable properties. The invention is not limited to the particular type of absorbent material or materials.
The absorbent pad or pad portion of the absorbent article 1 typically has two main faces, one ot them, i.e. the front face 2, being shown in Figure 1. Absorbent articles intended for use in healthcare procedures would typically have a front face 2 of a few centimetres in width and length, and a thickness of a few millimetres up to a few centimetres.
Figure 2 shows a rear view of the absorbent article of Figure 1. This shows the rear face 3 of the absorbent article 1, generally opposite the front face 2. A strip 4 of adhesive material is provided in, at or on the rear face 3. This strip is shown as being of rectangular shape, although other shapes may also be suitable.
The adhesive strip 4 can either be applied on to the surface of the absorbent material so that the adhesive strip may constitute a projection (in the direction perpendicular to the main faces of the absorbent article) with respect to areas of the absorbent article which are free of the adhesive material. Alternatively, the adhesive material may be integrated into the absorbent material so that the adhesive material does not, or does not significantly, project beyond the remainder of the absorbent material.
A possible use of the absorbent article of Figures 1 and 2 is illustrated with reference to Figure 7. During surgery under a general or local anaesthetic a patient would normally lie on their back. The head 10 of a patient is shown in Figure 7. While the patient's head 10 is in this position some fluid may flow out of the patient's eye by the force of gravity. An absorbent article such as shown in Figures 1 and 2 can be employed to soak up the fluid draining out of the patient's eye. As shown in Figure 7, the absorbent article 1 can be adhered to the patient's skin at a position "under" the patient's eye. It will be appreciated that, when the patient is in an upright position, the position of the absorbent article as per Figure 7 is behind the eye. Of course the position of the absorbent article will depend on where any fluid is expected to flow. In order to adhere the absorbent article 1 to the patient's skin the user (such as a healthcare professional) would simply press the absorbent article 1 against the patient's skin, with the adhesive strip 4 facing towards the patient's skin. The adhesive strip 4 will then be located between the patient's skin and the majority of the adhesive article. The adhesive material 4 will preferably have such properties that it adheres to the skin whilst being sufficiently easily removable from the skin without causing significant damage or pain to the patient's skin.
During use as per the example shown in Figure 7 fluid draining from the eye of the patient will run along the patient's skin towards the absorbent article 1 and will be soaked up by absorbent article 1.
Returning now to Figure 2, the adhesive strip 4 may be provided with an additional backing strip (not separately shown in Figure 2). This backing strip substantially covers the area of adhesive strip 4 so as to prevent accidental adhesion of the absorbent article 1 to surfaces such as packaging surfaces, other absorbent articles or skin. The backing strip would not normally be adhesive (at least on its face facing away from the adhesive material 4). Just prior to use the user would remove the backing strip so as to reveal the adhesive strip 4.
As shown in Figure 2, the adhesive strip 4 is provided near one edge of the absorbent article 1.
A further embodiment of an absorbent article is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 shows the rear face of the absorbent article 1 and is in many respects very similar to Figure 2.
One difference is that in Figure 3 the adhesive strip 4 is located further away from the top edge of the absorbent article 1. This may have particular advantages in certain applications since the presence of adhesive material 4 close to the top edge of the absorbent article 1 may negatively influence the absorbency of the article in that area.
By locating the adhesive strip 4 further away from the top edge of the article the absorbency of the article may be improved in the vicinity of the top edge, which is where the fluid would normally first reach the absorbent article 1. However, it is preferred that the adhesive material 4 (or at least the majority thereof) is located within one half of the rear face of the absorbent article.
The article shown in Figure 3 is again provided with a backing strip 5, but as a further difference to the Figure 2 embodiment the backing strip S of Figure 3 laterally projects beyond the adhesive strip 4. The adhesive strip 4 extends from the right hand edge (close to the right hand edge of the rear face 3) up to the dashed line. The backing strip covers the area of the adhesive strip 4 but has a tab portion 6 projecting beyond the adhesive strip 4, and, as shown in Figure 3 (although this is optional) beyond the left hand edge of the rear face 3. The tab portion 6 particularly facilitates removal of the backing strip just prior to use of the article.
Whilst not explicitly shown in the Figures, a tab portion of backing strip 5 could instead be provided which projects out ot the plane of the remainder of the backing strip.
An alternative shape of the absorbent article is shown in Figure 4. The principle of construction of the article shown in Figure 4 is substantially similar to that of Figures 1 to 3. A backing strip 5 with or without tab portion 6 may again be provided (not shown in Figure 4). The main difference between the article of Figure 4 when compared with the article of Figures ito 3 lies in the shape of the absorbent material. The top edge 7 of the absorbent article of Figure 4 is concave. In some applications this may be particularly preferred since it may help to direct fluid towards the centre of the absorbent article. The particular shape of the absorbent material may be dictated by the topography and available space of the area to which it is intended to be adhered to.
In the contiguration of Figure 4, the adhesive strip 4 could also be shaped such that its top edge is concave.
In order to better illustrate the construction of the absorbent article 1, a top view of the figure 3 embodiment is shown in Figure 5. The absorbent material is shown towards the top of this figure, with its main faces 2 and 3. Adhesive strip 4 is attached to the rear face 3 of the absorbent article, extending over most of its width. Backing strip 5 is attached to that face of adhesive strip 4 which faces away from the absorbent material.
Backing strip 5 is provided with an integral tab portion 6 projecting beyond adhesive strip 4. The dimensions are not to scale.
Figure 6 shows a side view of an alternative embodiment of the absorbent article 1.
This again shows the absorbent material with front and rear faces 2 and 3, with backing strip 4 being provided at rear face 3. In order to further improve the absorbency of the article 1 near the top edge (shown on the left) the absorbent material is formed with a thicker/enlarged portion 7. As shown in Figure 6, the enlarged portion 7 is thicker than the thickness of the absorbent pad at a position of the adhesive strip. Indeed, the skin-facing side of enlarged portion 7 projects beyond the skin-facing side of adhesive strip 4. This may further help to ensure that there is good contact between the absorbent material (at enlarged portion 7) and the skin. Alternatively, the thicker portion may be located at the bottom or at any other level of the article.
Figure 8 shows a particular form of presentation of an absorbent article 1 according to embodiments of the present invention. Article 1 is provided in a bag or pouch 8, for example made from polythene or other plastics material. In particular for use in the healthcare field, article 1 and bag 8 would be in a sterile condition when particle 1 is placed in bag 8, and bag 8 would then be sealed so as to preserve the sterility of article 1. A single absorbent article 1 may be located in bag 8. Alternatively, several of the absorbent articles 1 could be provided in bag 8.
During use (in a healthcare scenario) a user would open bag 8, remove absorbent article 1, remove any backing strip 5 and then adhere the absorbent article to a patient's skin.
As mentioned, absorbent articles according to embodiments of the present invention are not limited to applications in the field of professional healthcare. Possible applications extend to uses outside the field of (professional) healthcare, for example adhering the article to skin in a domestic setting, and to adhering the articles to surfaces other than skin (e.g. in DIY applications, wherever it is required to soak up fluid drained by gravity). The invention also finds application as part of cosmetic procedures.
Whilst a variety of absorbent materials could be used in the construction of the absorbent article according to the present invention, in one non-limiting example the absorbent material would comprise three distinct areas or layers. A first layer (herein referred to as "inner" layer) is provided from semi-permeable material having a substantially smooth surface. During use, this layer is located closest to the surface (such as skin) to which the absorbent article is to be adhered to. The adhesive material is provided in, on or at this first layer, preferably towards the upper edge of the absorbent article (the non-dependent part).
A second layer (herein referred to as "middle" layer) is provided next to the first layer, towards the interior of the pad. This middle layer may itself comprise several identical or different layers of material and may include non-woven gauze or cotton. This may be interspersed with absorbent gel or powder.
A third layer (herein referred to as "outer" layer) is provided next to the middle layer.
The outer layer is made from impermeable material.
Whilst a number of shapes of the absorbent article and its adhesive strip have been disclosed in the present specification, other shapes may also be suitable, including circular, rectangular, triangular or trapezoidal shapes.
Further, whilst the drawings show only one adhesive strip 4 covering less than one entire main face of the absorbent article, according to variants of the present invention it is possible for adhesive material to be provided over one entire main face of the article. Likewise, the present invention extends to variants where several adhesive strips or areas are provided, e.g. two parallel strips near the top and bottom edges of the article, several strips or strip portions running along substantially the entire edge of the rear face of the article etc. Although the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments as set forth above, it should be understood that these embodiments are illustrative only and that the claims are not limited to those embodiments. Those skilled in the art will be able to make modifications and alternatives in view of the disclosure which are contemplated as falling within the scope of the appended claims. Each feature disclosed or illustrated in the present specification may be incorporated in the invention, whether alone or in any appropriate combination with any other feature disclosed or illustrated herein.
