Abstract
A monolithic sanitary device comprising a generally arcuate, boat-shaped structure prepared from a hydrophilic, highly absorbent, polymeric foam material which has been rendered fluid-impervious on one side thereof by a coating of an organic polymeric latex material. The device dispenses with the need of elaborate barrier layers, the various facing and backing sheets, as the foam material possess a texture which is acceptable to living tissue and the fluid-impervious latex coating prevents undesirable strike-through and assists in maintaining the structural integrity of the device.
