Abstract: A soft tip applicator with flexible tendrils attaches to a syringe for spreading expressed liquid from the syringe onto a surface, such as skin. A detachable connector engages a cannula hub allowing liquid to be drawn into the syringe for later expulsion onto the surface.

Abstract: A soft tip applicator with flexible tendrils attaches to a syringe for spreading expressed liquid from the syringe onto a surface, such as skin. A detachable microneedle assembly supports microneedling treatment of the skin as the liquid is expressed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid applicator sachet comprising a top sheet sealed onto a base sheet such that the sheets define between them, in a reservoir portion, a reservoir for holding liquid, and, in an applicator portion, a conduit extending from the reservoir to an outlet opening. The sachet further comprises an applicator pad that covers said opening. The applicator portion is folded and sealed onto the reservoir portion such that a sharp fold is present between the reservoir portion and the applicator portion. The fold blocks the conduit such that a liquid held in the reservoir is prevented from flowing into the conduit. Furthermore, the applicator portion comprises a grip tab between two tear lines. By pulling the tab, the applicator portion tears along the tear lines and part of the applicator portion can be unfolded to allow liquid to flow from the reservoir into the pad.

Abstract: An adapter for providing fluid communication with a tissue site may include a base, a conduit housing, a primary port, at least one ancillary port, and at least one port extension. The base may define a mounting plane having a first planar side and a second planar side opposite the first planar side. The conduit housing may be supported by the base and may include a recessed region defining an entry surface. The conduit housing and the recessed region may be positioned on the first planar side with the entry surface facing the first planar side. The primary port may be on the entry surface, and the at least one ancillary port may be on the entry surface. A distal end of the port extension may be positioned on the second planar side in fluid communication with the ancillary port. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.

The device includes a flexible layer of porous material; flexible wicking material disposed on one side of the layer of porous material; and a flexible layer of impermeable material secured to the periphery of the other side of the layer of porous material and so covering the other side of the layer of porous material as to define a chamber between the layer of porous material and the layer of impermeable material. Urine can be collected within the chamber for transport through a tube extending into the chamber through a port in the layer of impermeable material. The device includes a receptacle for receiving the head of a penis.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a base-structure and an elevatable structure known as a flat-back protection feature, that is capable of rising above the base-structure during article use. The flat-back protection feature utilizes either differences in material length compared with the length of the adjacent base-structure, or elastic materials, to maintain the feature elevation above the base-structure, while the article is in an extended condition. The flat-back protection feature extends into the intergluteal cleft of a wearer during use. Embossment features on the absorbent article are used to facilitate folding of the absorbent article, enhance the functionality of the protection feature, and/or improve the ease of manufacture.
