Abstract
Absorbent medical articles include a first absorbent layer with a radio opaque element located on the surface of the first absorbent layer. The radio opaque element has at least one segment that is non-linear and has at least one vertex, the vertex defines an angle of at least 15° and less than 165°. The radio opaque element may be a continuous or discontinuous element. The absorbent medical article may include additional absorbent layers. The radio opaque element makes the absorbent medical article detectable if left inside a patient.
