Abstract: An absorbent fiber web has a base layer of cellulose fibers and an external layer that is connected at least across areas thereof with the base layer. The external layer is a nonwoven of nano fibers. The base layer and the nonwoven are connected to one another across areas thereof without a binder.

Abstract: A bandage for covering a body opening from which a conduit, not belonging to the body, projects, has a first support with a first slit beginning at an edge of the support and extending toward a center of the first support, wherein the first slit defines a first support half and a second support half on opposed sides of the first slit. A first flat absorbent core is disposed on the first support half; a second flat absorbent core is disposed on the second support half. The first and second absorbent cores are positioned in parallel orientation relative to the first slit, respectively. The first slit has an end remote from the edge of the first support; the end of the first slit is provided with a widened portion.
