The present disclosure is directed to indicating systems and methods for incontinence products. The indicating system may include an indicator panel for an incontinence product that is adapted to provide a qualitative or quantitative indication of a characteristic of a liquid absorbed by the indicator panel.
Claims14
An indicating panel for an incontinence product, comprising:
- a porous sheet that is impregnated with
- a first indicator that is selected to respond to a target analyte by creating a detectable response;
- and
- a polymeric mordant that is selected to stabilize indicators that generate detectable responses, wherein the polymeric mordant has been stabilized with respect to both basic and thermal degradation.
1 more element
An indicating incontinence product, comprising:
- an absorbent core;
- a porous inner sheet, adjacent to the absorbent core, that is impregnated with a first indicator, a second indicator, and a polymeric mordant;
- wherein
- the first indicator is selected to respond to a target analyte by creating a detectable response;
- the second indicator is selected to respond to the detectable response of the first indicator by generating a second detectable response;
- and
- the polymeric mordant is selected to stabilize indicators that generate detectable responses, and has been stabilized with respect to basic degradation, thermal degradation, and cross-reactivity with the first indicator.
