The present invention relates to the use, for adhesion on hair or fiber-populated surfaces, of hydrogel adhesive characterized by a G', (1 rad/sec) or below 1000 Pa, resulting in embedding of the hair of fiber and good adhesion properties on the surface. The invention also encompasses Personal Care Products and Surface Care Articles containing the hydrogel compositions herein.

Hydrogel adhesives for use on hair or fiber-populated surfaces

A faecal management device has a bag and a flange. The faecal management device is placed on a wearer, in combination with an applicator. The applicator is configured to exert pressure from at least two spaced apart pressure points onto the flange of the device. The device is placed on a wearer by using placement lobes associated with the flange.

Faecal collector having breathable skin attachment means

A disposable human waste management device, such as faecal and urine management devices ( ), which are provided with adhesives for attachment of the device to the skin. Such adhesives ( ) provide secure attachment and are pleasing to the skin upon application, yet cause no discomfort upon removal. The device may also be used in combination with a disposable diaper.

Disposable human waste management device with improved adhesive for skin attachment

The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles such as diapers and sanitary napkins which are provided with adhesives for attachment of the article to the skin which adhesives provide secure attachment and are pleasing to the skin upon application, yet cause no discomfort upon removal.

Disposable absorbent articles with improved adhesive for skin attachment

A disposable article having a sensor that predicts an impending event such as an elimination of bodily waste. The article may also include an actuator that performs a responsive function when the sensor predicts the impending event.

Disposable article having a proactive sensor

A biofeedback device for predicting an impending elimination of bodily waste in an incontinent person includes a sensing element in contact with an area of a user so as to detect electrical activity of a sphincter muscle associated therewith and a signaling element operatively connected to the sensing element that provides a signal upon an occurrence of a predetermined electrical activity for the sphincter muscle. The biofeedback device is able to predict an impending elimination of bodily waste for an incontinent person, as well as assist the incontinent person in achieving a contraction of his/her sphincter muscle.

Biofeedback device for an incontinent person

This invention relates to a urine management device ( ) comprising a bag ( ) and a flange ( ). The flange ( ) comprises adhesive ( ) used to attach the device ( ) to the uro-genital area of the wearer. The invention resides principally in providing an optimised shape of the aperture ( ) of said device ( ). One preferred embodiment of the invention is an aperture ( ) whose contour is defined by one ellipse in the longitudinal direction, the longitudinal diameter of said ellipse being 2.25 times greater than the transversal diameter.

Adhesive urine collector with optimal aperture

A faecal management device having a flange or abutting the perianal region of a wearer. The flange has an aperture therethrough. The aperture has a contour defined by two mutually perpendicularly oriented ellipses.

Adhesive faecal collector with optimal aperture

A disposable article to be fitted to a wearer having an external anal sphincter muscle, the external anal sphincter muscle having a basal electrical activity. The disposable article preferably comprises a sensor or sensor system operatively connected to the article wherein the sensor is adapted to detect changes in the electrical activity of the wearer's external anal sphincter muscle that correlates to an impending elimination of bodily waste and to provide a signal to the wearer, a caregiver or an element of the article notifying the wearer, caregiver or element of the article of the impending event.

Disposable article having sensor to detect impending elimination of bodily waste

A disposable article to be fitted to a wearer. The disposable article preferably comprises a sensor operatively connected to the article. The sensor is adapted to detect electrical activity in the wearer's smooth colonic muscles, abdominal muscles or the muscles surrounding the bladder or rectum which correlates to an impending elimination of bodily waste and to provide a signal to the wearer, a caregiver or an element of the article of the impending event.

The present invention relates to topical adhesives used for the attachment of articles to the skin. The topical adhesive provides secure attachment and is pleasing to the skin upon application, yet causes no discomfort and a low level of adhesive residue on the skin upon removal. The topical adhesive is selected to have rheological characteristics determined by the relationship between the elastic modulus G&prime; and the viscous modulus G&Prime;.

Adhesive for secure topical attachment to the skin and comfortable removal

Adhesive for application of functional articles to the skin and comfortable removal

The present invention relates to a combination of a substrate with combinations for attachment to the skin. In particular the present invention relates to a combination of a substrate which can be employed for attachment to the skin of articles such as protective articles, clothing, prosthesis, heat wraps, pads, and/or packs, cold wraps hearing, protective face masks, ornamental articles or eye wear, or also of functional articles such as cosmetic or pharmaceutical delivery articles that provide a substance to the skin. The combination provides secure attachment and is pleasing to the skin upon application, yet causes no discomfort upon removal. This is achieved by selecting the chemical composition and heological characteristics of the combinations and the physical characteristics of the substrate on which the combination is applied.

The present invention relates to a combination of a substrate with topical adhesives for attachment to the skin. In particular the present invention relates to a combination of a substrate with a topical adhesive which can be employed for attachment to the skin in the area where absorption of bodily liquids is desired. The combination provides secure attachment and is pleasing to the skin upon application, yet causes no discomfort upon removal. This is achieved by selecting the chemical composition and rheological characteristics of the topical adhesives and the physical characteristics of the substrate on which the topical adhesive is applied.
