ABSORBING ARTICLE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has layer permeable for liquid. The layer is adjacent to human body surface when being used. The layer impermeable for liquid is on the opposite side of article relative to human body surface when the article is used. Absorbing element is positioned between the permeable and impermeable layer and has hygroscopic material retaining friability properties after having contact with liquid. Another embodiment of the device has layer impermeable for liquid is on the opposite side of article relative to human body surface when the article is used. Absorbing element is enclosed into layer permeable for liquid and has hygroscopic material retaining friability properties after having contact with liquid. The absorbing element is connected to the impermeable layer on the central area of the layer. EFFECT: enabled comfortable conditions; retained functional properties of the article when being deformed. 42 cl, 23 dwg,1 tbl
