• PATENT APPLICATION FOR INVENTION FR 2 654 929 A This is a single-use bag for hygienic basins comprising on the inside a very absorbent material. Adjustment and closing are carried out using an adhesive strip. The description does not mention any particular form; it is only furthermore specified "the interior is lined with an absorbent material.” This invention has a very general character.
• the prior art does not solve the problems posed and the present invention aims to provide a coating which adapts to the conventional basin as described. Thanks to its shape and dimensions, it lines the entire the interior of the receptacle and in particular it is inserted in the part located under the gluteal plateau. it covers the exterior of the gluteal plateau the edges and edges, the external walls and the handle of the receptacle.
• the presence of a sliding link ensures the adjustment to resist the friction imprinted against the patient's body for the placement and removal of the pelvis. Otherwise, the coating, adhering to the patient's buttocks, would risk giving off feces and would lose its raison d' scope.

• gelling agent which traps liquids instantly secures these manipulations. It is a neutralized, polymerized, crosslinked polyacrylate which absorbs the liquid, gels it and even retains it under a certain pressure. While cotton is a filamentous substance, very cross-linked, which retains the liquid between its stitches but does not trap it and restores it at the slightest pressure. The conditions for collecting and storing such waste are therefore optimized by the presence of the gelling agent.
• the material used must be flexible and waterproof (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, nonwoven complex and polyethylene, supersouple paper or wadding with waterproof fabric) It can be the product of an extrusion or be a molding (vinyl, latex type). It can be lined with a non-woven material to improve the subject's comfort.
• the material used must be opaque, either by its texture, or by any other process (printing, 0 bonding, doubling).
