Abstract
An incontinent pad, for wearing as a bed protector about the hips and covering the perineal area of a wearer, is constructed of layers of absorbent and moisture impermeable layers. The pad is generally rectangular in shape, and has two symmetrical cuts extending from the longer portion of the pad toward the center, so as to divide the lower portion of the pad into a central hexagonal section which is folded to produce a breather moisture-retainer pouch, for juxtaposition near the urinary outlet of a wearer; and two triangular portions which are adjacent to the bed or other surface, the hexagonal portion is attached to the portion remaining under the patient, to form a seal along the thighs of the wearer for containment of moisture. The incontinent pad in use on a male or female wearer forms a bed protector with a thigh seal, offering a second line of defense against the escape of moisture.
