## Abstract

The male incontinence wrap system is a disposable absorbent pad designed to be wrapped around the male genital member of a person suffering from incontinence. The pad is wrapped around the male genital and secured by a first adhesive strip and then folded back at the end and held in place by a second adhesive strip, an elastic band, or both. An adhesive peel-and-stick strip attaches the absorbent pad assembly around the user to prevent sliding. At least one fold crease can be included extending between first and second edges and aids in the folding and forming of a pouch-shaped interior volume.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A disposable male incontinence wrap system comprising:
an absorbent pad assembly comprising;
an absorbent pad having;
an inside surface;
an outside surface;
an absorbent layer;
a first edge;
a second edge parallel to said first edge;
a proximate end;
a distal end;
an adhesive member;
at least one securing band; and
a plurality of spaced parallel permanent and elongated fold creases formed perpendicular to said first and second edges and extending from said first edge to said second edge, and adapted such that said absorbent pad is adapted to be folded along any one of said plurality of spaced parallel permanent and elongated fold creases to thereby form pouch-shaped interior volumes of differing sizes;
wherein said absorbent pad of said absorbent pad assembly is structured and arranged to wrap around a male genital member and to absorb an unintentionally released urinary fluid;
wherein said absorbent pad is defined and bound between said inside surface and said outside surface, said first edge and said second edge, and said proximate end and said distal end;
wherein said inside surface and said outside surface are parallel planar to each other, separated by and parallel planar with said absorbent layer;
wherein said first edge and said second edge are parallel planar to each other and located at opposing sides of said absorbent pad from each other;
wherein said proximate end is located at an opposite end of said absorbent pad from said distal end;
wherein said proximate end and said distal end are parallel planar to said first edge and said second edge;
wherein said adhesive member is attached to said proximate end of said outside surface of said absorbent pad;
wherein said adhesive member is structured and arranged to removably attach said absorbent pad circumferentially about said male genital member and to be secured in place via said at least one securing band stretched about a circumference of a donned said absorbent pad;
wherein said absorbent pad assembly is useful for collecting said urinary fluid from an incontinent said user-wearer and preventing said collected urinary fluid from contacting a clothes of said user-wearer;
wherein said inside surface of said absorbent pad is structured and arranged to allow moisture to pass therethrough to said absorbent layer while said inside surface remains substantially free from moisture; and
wherein said absorbent pad is adapted to be and is capable of being folded via any one of said plurality of spaced parallel permanent and elongated fold creases after said absorbent pad is folded about said male genital member and secured via said at least one securing band to prevent leakage.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said absorbent layer of said absorbent pad comprises a paper element that is absorbent and expandable.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said outside surface of said absorbent pad is moisture impermeable.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said adhesive member comprises adhesive tape, said adhesive tape non-removable from said proximate end of said outside surface of said absorbent pad.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said at least one securing band comprises a rubber band.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said absorbent pad comprises a substantially rectangular shape in an unfolded condition.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 6 wherein said absorbent pad comprises a hypoallergenic paper.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 7 wherein said absorbent pad assembly comprises an anti-bacterial agent and is structured and arranged to prevent release of odors.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said adhesive member comprises a rectangular strip about 3 inches long.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 9 wherein said adhesive member comprises about 50% of a length non-removably attached to said disposable pad and about 50% of said length that is able to be removably attached to said second edge.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein the about 50% of said length of said adhesive member that is able to be removably attached to said second edge of said adhesive member comprises a peel-and-stick strip.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said absorbent pad comprises a tubular shape when in a ready for use condition.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 wherein said distal end of said absorbent pad assembly comprises a second adhesive member for securing said distal end in a folded arrangement.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1 further comprising a kit including:
a box comprising at least one said absorbent pad assembly; and
at least one set of user instructions.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of permanent and elongated fold creases includes a threading material embossed into said absorbent pad extending along the length of said permanent and elongated fold crease between said first and second edges.

### Claim 19 (depends on 1)

The disposable male incontinence wrap system of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of permanent and elongated fold creases is formed from a flexible material adapted to expand the size of said pouch-shaped interior volume.
