Reusable Incontinence Material

Patent No. EP3711727 (titled "Reusable Incontinence Material") was filed by Cazitex on Mar 20, 2020. The application was issued on Aug 4, 2021.

Patent Summary

Reusable incontinence nappies with improved fit, leakage prevention, and washability compared to existing reusable nappies. The nappies have a layered structure with a contact layer, dispersion layer, absorption layer(s), and impermeable layer. The layers are stitched together except for the outside edges of the contact layer and impermeable layer, which are sewn separately to create a seamless interior volume. The inner layers are encapsulated between the outer layers to prevent shifting during washing. The layers can be made of materials like fleece, non-woven fabrics, and knitted fabrics with specific weights and absorption capacities.
