Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of a containment device having a flexible first layer and a flexible second layer sealed together to form a hermetically sealed reservoir. The surface area of contact between the first and the second layers can define a frame about the perimeter of the reservoir. The containment device can also include a porous pad located within the reservoir, and a liquid control solution configured to mimic a physiological fluid contained within the porous pad within the reservoir. The containment device can include a third flexible layer presenting a liquid holding surface for a user. A portion of the first and/or second layers can function as a frangible seal that is configured to be torn away by a user.
