Abstract:

A body bag () can be assembled by a stitching process while providing increased fluid retention capabilities. An upper outer layer () and a lower outer layer (), each of which can be non-woven materials, form the outer surfaces of the body bag (). An absorbent layer () is disposed between the upper outer layer () and the lower outer layer (). One or more edges () can be folded into a periphery () of the body bag (). Stitching () can then be applied along the periphery () such that the stitching () passes through the upper outer layer (), the lower outer layer (), an upper edge () of the fold in the absorbent layer (), and a complementary bottom edge () of the fold in the absorbent layer (). Handles () can be included as well.

International Classification:

A47G 9/02

US Classification:

5496

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a disposable sheet with an absorbent pad comprising multiple layers. In particular, the absorbent pad of the present invention maintains skin dryness by absorbing moisture while preventing leakage to the skin or the bed linens, allowing air circulation at the surface of the patient's skin to prevent heat buildup, and is strong enough to allow the patient to be repositioned, even when the pad is wet. In a particular embodiment the first layer is comprised of a fluid-permeable, porous material, the second layer is disposed under the first layer and is comprised of at least one super absorbent material, and a base layer disposed under the second layer.
