  • Tampon pledget for increased bypass leakage protection
    Patent number: 11154430
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tampon pledget with one or more of the following properties: increased absorbency rate; high absorbent capacity and fluid retention; rapid expansion potential; and ease of ejection of the pledget from the applicator. Surprisingly, the one or more properties are achieved by using a modified dual cross-pad, folded, compressed tampon pledget design.
    Type: Grant

  • LOW ABSORBENCY TAMPON PLEDGET AND METHOD OF TESTING
    Publication number: 20100036309
    Abstract: An improved light duty tampon is defined by a quantity of an absorbent material arranged in substantially cylindrical form and having a lower dry bulk density, lower expansion values, and lower fluid absorption rates, as compared to similar absorbent capacity tampon pledgets. A method of testing a light duty tampon includes determining absorbent capacity, density, radial expansion width, and expansion rate of the tampon.

  • TAMPON PLEDGETS WITH IMPROVED LEAKAGE PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20090234268
    Abstract: An increased absorbency tampon pledget with an absorbent capacity of 15-18 grams and an increased dry bulk density has a density of at least 0.20 g/cc and can be housed in a smaller applicator than typically provided with commercially available increased absorbency applicator tampons. The increased dry bulk density provides better leakage protection, placement control, and user comfort.
