Abstract: A drug delivery system in the form of homo-component, bi-component or multi-component fibers wherein one of more of the components comprise a drug compounded with a polymer carrier. These fibers are packed to form a tablet directly, or are chopped and placed in a capsule.

Abstract: A method of producing a non-woven fabric having a high recovery after elongation and a substantially uniform surface including the steps of microcrepeing the fabric between about 20% and 35%, and heat setting the fabric to a temperature between its glass transition temperature and its melting temperature. A non-woven fabric having a recovery of at least 40% after five cycles of 35% elongation is made from a microcreped fabric of basis weight from 1-3.5 osy. The non-woven fabric has a uniform surface that is substantially free of bunching, gathering, and that is otherwise substantially flat to the eye and touch.

Abstract: The present invention provides improvements in absorbent products, but is particularly useful with urinary incontinence pads. An embossed pattern on the bottom layer of the double layer absorbent core construction improves the removal of urine or other fluids from the discharge zone to be ready for next void. One or more V-shaped notches cut at both ends of the pad provides the ergonomic fit of the pad to reduce the inevitable stiffness. The sides are designed as a flap which curves during the sealing process and provide natural curved flaps which form a soft gasket cushion and yields extra leak protection in the crotch area.

Abstract: A repellent, breathable, non-woven fabric is described, having improved repellent properties, one surface of said fabric being corrugated in the machine direction and comprising entangled cellulosic fibers and loosely entangled polymeric fibers, said corrugated surface comprising predominantly entangled cellulosic fibers, said fabric having been additionally coated with fine fibers on the corrugated surface.

Abstract: A sterile low cost disposable fabric suitable for use in making repellant breathable drapes and gowns for use in a sterile environment, said fabric comprising rudimentary discontinuous and alternating rows of entangled cellulosic and polymeric fiber rows extending in the machine direction, and having a predominantly poylmeric surface and predominantly cellulosic surface and at least said cellulosic fibers being subject to a repellant treatment, yielding a breathable repellant soft fabric with enhanced drape and enhanced frictional properties.

Abstract: Ribbed terry cloth-like nonwoven fabric produced by fluid entangling of fibers on a special forming belt.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric which has the appearance of apertured, ribbed terry cloth is produced by fluid entangling of fibers on a special forming belt.
