REMOTE DETECTION SYSTEMS FOR ABSORBENT PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61F13/42 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: remote detection systems for absorbent products that can detect liquid excretions. The absorbent product comprises an outer cover, an absorbent structure adjoining an inner surface of the outer cover, a first conductive portion spaced from the second conductive portion and separated therefrom. The conductive portions are provided on the outer cover; each outer cover comprises an area on the outer cover that forms a number of holes. The holes extend through the outer cover and are coated with a conductive composition. The absorbent product may contain a signal system that comprise a sensor attached to the outer cover and designed so that to detect the changes in the environment inside the absorbent structure. The sensor comprises a temperature pickup, a conductivity probe, a humidity detector, a vibration detector, a chemical detector or an expansion detector. The signal system additionally comprises a signal device that is emitted when the sensor detects the changes in the environment inside the absorbent structure.

EFFECT: provided creation of the signal system that requires no conductive metal elements or other devices to be introduced inside the product.
