Abstract: A disposable multi-purpose absorbent pad has a top layer of adsorbent material, a second layer of absorbent material, and a third layer of liquid impermeable material, the layers being joined at the edges of the pad forming a peripheral seal. The underside of the third layer is coated with a foam material covering the area within the peripheral seal.
Abstract: A liquid collecting and retaining device consists of a tubular, triangularly shaped casing of a material substantially non-porous to granular solid matter and which is permeable to liquids, which is partially filled with a material that collects and retains liquids passing through the casing, and which is incapable of itself passing through the casing.
