Description
本発明は、一般的に改善されたタンポンまたはタンポンプレジット(pledget)に関する。より具体的には、本発明は、予め膨張された(pre−expanded)タンポンプレジットに関する。予め膨張されたタンポンプレジットは、減少した繊維密度を有するが、さらに、同様の市販の圧縮されたタンポンプレジットと比較して匹敵するかまたはよりすぐれた漏れ防止能および性能を提供する。
本発明のタンポンプレジットは、予め膨張されたタンポンプレジットと称される。本出願で用いられる、予め膨張された、とは、使用直前のようなその初期状態のタンポンまたはタンポンプレジットが膨張されているか、またはより大きな直径および体積を有し、さらに、それが減少した繊維密度を有することを意味する。しかしながら、流体の吸収後に完全に膨張したとき、予め膨張されたタンポンプレジットは、通常のタンポンプレジットとほぼ同じ直径を有する。
レギュラー 6〜9グラムの吸収性;
スーパー 9〜12グラムの吸収性;
スーパー・プラス 12〜15グラムの吸収性;
ウルトラ 15〜18グラムの吸収性。
