Abstract: A sensor for monitoring wetness in a diaper or other absorbent article includes a housing that attaches to the absorbent article. The sensor may include inner and outer housing portions that capture an edge of the absorbent article between the housings. The sensor may include contacts that electrically connect with a pair of contact strips embedded in the absorbent article. The distance between the embedded strips may vary depending on the size of the absorbent article. The sensor may include multiple pairs of contacts that are spaced apart to match the distance between the contact strips for the variously sized absorbent articles. In this way, depending on the pair of contacts connected to the contact strips, the sensor may indicate the size of the absorbent article. The sensor may have a housing with a cavity and a lid that closes the cavity. The lid may be secured with a latch.

Abstract: An underpad for covering a patient support structure includes an upper, patient facing surface and a lower, support structure facing surface. The underpad includes a liquid permeable patient facing layer and a liquid impermeable base layer. An absorbent layer is positioned above the base layer and below the patient facing layer, and a tissue layer is positioned above the absorbent layer and below the patient facing layer. An ink is deposited on the tissue layer. The ink is more readily visible through the patient facing layer than through the base layer.

Abstract: An implant delivery system includes an implant, such as a wireless sensor, a first sheath, and a second sheath. The sheaths extend from a proximal end of the implant delivery system, and at least said first sheath extends to a distal end of said implant delivery system. The first sheath is positioned at least partially within said second sheath. The implant is connected to an exterior surface of the first sheath and positioned near an end of the second sheath. The first sheath and said second sheath are movable with respect to one another to deploy said implant to a desired location.
