In order to position and close the incontinence diaper (), the rear lateral sections () can be brought into overlapping arrangement with a front region () exterior, to which the lateral sections can then be removably adhered via respective closure means (). The rear lateral sections () have an elastic or elasticized region (), and the extension (Q) of the rear lateral sections () comprises a proximal half () which adjoins the rear longitudinal edge () and a freely ending distal half () in the transverse direction (). The invention is characterized in that the respective elastic region () of each rear lateral section () is arranged completely within the proximal half () and extends to the paired rear longitudinal edge () or has a distance of maximally 30 mm from the rear longitudinal edge () in the transverse direction (), and each rear lateral section () is substantially non-stretchable in the entire distal half ().

An incontinence article in pants form for receiving bodily excretions, includes an abdominal section, a back portion and a crotch portion which extends in the longitudinal direction between the abdominal and back sections and is undetachably joined in overlapping regions to the abdominal portion and the back portion, wherein the abdominal portion and the back portion are connected to one another on both sides at the lateral seam regions forming a closed waist opening. The crotch portion extends with the long end thereof on the abdominal side and with the long end thereof on the back side to a respective imaginary line Lor Lwhich is parallel to the transverse direction, wherein the lines Land Ldivide the abdominal portion and the back portion into a respective first abdominal or back sub-region remote from the leg opening and a respective second stomach or back sub-region near the leg opening. In the first abdominal and back sub-region, first elastification means are provided, of which in each case only one single first elastification means is fixed within a respective adhesive zone of the strip-shaped adhesive zones disposed in parallel at a distance M between a first and a second layer of the first abdominal and back sub-region.

Incontinence article in pants form

A device for sampling and/or analyzing blood or other body fluid of a subject. A housing contains a plurality of lancets and optionally includes test elements to take up a sample of blood, an evaluation system and a display. A complete system that can be handled as a single device, for example in the form of a wristwatch, includes a multiplicity of test elements and lancets, which can be brought successively to a working position to perform multiple measurements. A cassette or carrier includes multiple lancets and/or test elements, for insertion into the device.

Blood sampling device

A disposable absorbent incontinence diaper () has a main part (), with a front area (), a rear area () and a crotch area () as well as rear side sections () joined on both sides to the rear area () and front side sections () joined on both sides to the front area () and extending in a transverse direction () past lateral front and rear longitudinal edges () of the main part () to connect the front area () and the rear area () when the disposable incontinence diaper has been applied. The article is shaped by one single respective separating process and holding forces between closing elements () and the outer side of the first front side sections () are larger than holding forces between the closing elements and the outer side of the main part ().

Absorbing disposable incontinence diaper

The present invention relates to a process for producing a disposable diaper by supplying a continuous web of flat material in a longitudinal direction for the forming of the side portions, forming first material clearances along a first cutting line at a side edge) of the web of flat material to produce contoured cutouts in the web of flat material, an imaginary parallel line PL, which is parallel to the longitudinal direction and placed at the point P of maximum extent of the cutout transversely in relation to the longitudinal direction, defining an outer sub-region and an inner sub-region of the web of flat material, folding the web of flat material about at least one first folding line running in the longitudinal direction, the folding line running within the outer sub-region, severing longitudinal portions of the folded web of flat material, undetachably fixing the portions of material to a respective longitudinal edge of a web for the main part of the diaper for the forming of side portions, forming second material clearances along a second cutting line, the second cutting line taking in the side portions and a respective longitudinal edge of the web for the main part of the diaper, and the second cutting line crossing the first cutting line in such a way that the second cutting line does not extend through the first folding line of the front and rear side portions.

Method of forming an absorbing disposable incontinence diaper

The disclosure relates to a disposable absorbent hygiene item in the form of a pair of knickers, said item comprising a central absorption part, an outer envelope forming a base structure comprising a waist edge which is closed all the way round in the peripheral direction and forms an opening for the waist, a rear part and a front part comprising longitudinal lateral edge sections, and a connecting region arranged between the front part and the rear part and forming the leg openings.

Pants-type disposable sanitary article with improved fit

A diaper having a main part comprising a front area, a rear area and a crotch area therebetween, wherein the main part comprises an absorbent core, and with rear side sections joined on both sides to the rear area and front side sections joined on both sides to the front area which extend in the transverse direction past lateral front and rear longitudinal edges of the main part, connect the front area and the rear area, wherein, at least on the side facing the crotch area, the front and rear side sections; are designed in such a fashion that they extend at an inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction or are curved for forming leg opening areas, and the front and rear side sections of the front area and rear area differ from each other with respect to at least one primary property.

A continuous method for producing incontinence articles in the form of pants for receiving body excrements utilizes crotch sections comprising absorbent bodies and having leg cut-outs formed by a first contour cut. Two partial webs are joined to the crotch sections in such a fashion that one end of the crotch sections overlaps one partial web in a longitudinal direction transversely to the machine direction, and the other end thereof overlaps the other partial web, and the crotch sections are disposed at a separation from each other in the machine direction. A second contour cut is performed that includes the partial webs on their mutually facing edge sections for forming substantially curved leg cut-outs. The article is then folded and the partial webs are joined transversely to the machine direction at a separation from each other for forming side seam areas of the incontinence article to be produced.

Method of producing incontinence articles in the form of pants

An incontinence article comprising front and back belly sections connected at side seams forming belly and back bands, continuous in the hip direction having a hip opening closed in the hip direction, and a crotch section comprising an absorbent body, extending longitudinally between and permanently attached to the bolly and back sections, wherein the crotch, belly, and back sections define leg openings, the belly and back sections have an edge contour extending towards a transverse center axis, wherein first elastification means in the belly and back sections extend parallel to each other in the hip direction and wherein, in the belly and back sections, second elastification means extend from two side seam areas towards a longitudinal center axis of the article in a curved shape, thereby fanning out with increasing separation from each other, where the second elastification means fan out, the restoring force from extensive stretching of this area is smaller than that from extensive stretching of an area on the hip side, having only the first elastification means.
