| 20080207779 | Electrically conductive hydrogels - Electrically conductive adhesive hydrogels formed from a composition which generally includes a monomer, an initiator, an organic solvent, and a cross-linking agent are suitable for use as skin contact adhesives and, particularly, suitable for use as an electrical interface for disposable medical devices. The present hydrogels provide for reduced skin irritation and/or malodor properties, hydrate a subject's skin, readily wet around a subject's skin surface hair, and protect against burning of a subject upon or due to electrical stimulation through the hydrogel. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080227356 | Substrates having improved ink adhesion and oil crockfastness - A printed nonwoven web having improved oil crockfastness when an ink composition is applied to an outer surface of the nonwoven is generally disclosed. For example, an ink composition that has improved resistance to rub off of the web, even if the ink composition contacts an oily substance (e.g., baby oil, lotion, etc.), can be printed on a surface of the web. The nonwoven web can be a layer in a laminate having at least a film layer and the nonwoven web layer. For example, the printed laminate can be used as the outercover of an absorbent article. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090099532 | Assembly for lubricating a portion of a medical device - A medical device assembly for imparting a lubricious and/or antimicrobial liquid onto a medical device is provided. The medical device is surrounded by a pouch and includes a burst package or frangible cells for storage of the liquid prior to delivery onto the surface of the medical device. This helps prevent contamination of the medical device upon removal of the medical device from its pouch, insertion of the device into a body cavity, and implantation of the device into the body cavity. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090156079 | ANTISTATIC BREATHABLE NONWOVEN LAMINATE HAVING IMPROVED BARRIER PROPERTIES - A nonwoven web or laminate having improved antistatic properties and alcohol repellency properties is generally provided, along with methods of making the same. The method includes forming a nonwoven web from a thermoplastic mixture of an antistatic agent and a thermoplastic polymer. A high energy treatment is applied to a surface of the nonwoven web. Then, a fluorinated agent is grafted to the surface of the spunbond web utilizing a monomer deposition process. The monomer deposition process can generally include evaporating a liquid fluorinated agent in a vacuum chamber, followed by depositing the fluorinated agent gas on a surface of the spunbond web, and exposing the surface to radiation. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090285871 | Disinfectant Wet Wipe - A disinfectant wet wipe that contains a germicidal solution and a nonwoven web material is provided. The germicidal solution includes a peracid and peroxide, which can act synergistically together to be efficacious against pathogens when exposed thereto. To stabilize the solution over a period of time (e.g., during storage), a variety of aspects of the wipe are selectively controlled in accordance with the present invention. For example, the nonwoven web material used in the wipe is formed from a synthetic polymer and is relatively hydrophobic in nature. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that such materials possess a lower reduction potential for peroxides/peracids than cellulosic-based materials. In this manner, significant degradation of the peroxide or peracid contained in the germicidal solution is limited. To improve the wettability of the nonwoven web material, one or more surfactants are also employed in the germicidal solution. Besides improving wettability, the present inventors have surprisingly discovered that certain surfactants may also improve the stability of the solution. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100154105 | TREATED CUFF - The present invention is generally directed to an elastic woven cuff having an alcohol repellency rating of 10, the cuff having fluoro-chemical monomer deposited onto the surface of the cuff | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100159195 | HIGH REPELLENCY MATERIALS VIA NANOTOPOGRAPHY AND POST TREATMENT - A method is provided for making a high repellency material. In one embodiment the method includes the steps of providing a polymeric material having an external surface including particle-like nanotopography, etching the external surface with a high energy treatment; and depositing a fluorochemical onto the etched external surface by a plasma fluorination process. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100198177 | ABSORBENT ARTICLES CONTAINING A MULTIFUNCTIONAL GEL - Improved skin-adhesive compositions for bonding a substrate, such as an absorbent article, to skin are disclosed. More particularly, the skin-adhesive composition has an improved, yet gentle, adhesion to the skin of a user, while maintaining strong, effective bonding to various inanimate, non-skin substrates. In one embodiment, the skin-adhesive composition can provide one or more skin benefit agents to the user. The skin-adhesive composition may be applied to an absorbent article, such as a panty-liner, sanitary napkin, or an incontinence article, for directly adhering the article to the skin of a user. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110078848 | Treatment of Folded Articles - The present invention is generally directed to a method of treating a folded garment to achieve good alcohol repellency on the innermost layers of the folded garment. | 04-07-2011 |
