  • Tampon having an apertured film cover
    Patent number: 6465713
    Abstract: An absorbent tampon has improved ease of insertion into and removal from a body cavity. This is accomplished by covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the tampon with an apertured polymeric formed film. The apertured formed film provides a smooth land area on the outermost surface of the tampon for gentle, nondrying passage along the vaginal walls. The apertures in the film allow fluid to pass through the cover and into the absorbent core, where the fluid is held to prevent leakage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 15, 1998
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2002
    Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.
