## Abstract

A respiratory expellant containment pad including a base layer and a containment layer on a first side of the base layer. The containment layer is configured to contain respiratory expellant from a wearer of the containment pad. An adhesive layer on a second side of the base layer is opposite to the containment layer.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A respiratory expellant containment pad comprising:
a base layer;
a containment layer on a first side of the base layer, the containment layer configured to contain respiratory expellant from a wearer of the containment pad; and
an adhesive layer on a second side of the base layer that is opposite to the containment layer.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the containment layer includes a disinfectant and is configured to disinfect respiratory expellant from the wearer of the containment pad.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the containment layer is woven.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the containment layer is non-woven.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the containment layer is a natural material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the containment layer is synthetic.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein containment layer is configured to contain respiratory expellant including coughing and sneezing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the base layer is about 4 inches wide and six inches long.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the base layer includes impervious plastic sheathing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, wherein the containment layer is secured to the base layer.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, further comprising a sidewall extending about the containment layer.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 11, wherein the sidewall extends completely around the containment layer.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 12, wherein the sidewall extends further from the base layer than the containment layer.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, further comprising at least one peelable protective strip adhered to the adhesive layer, the peelable protective strip is removable to expose the adhesive layer, the adhesive layer configured to secure the containment pad to skin or fabric.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 1, further comprising a predefined crease extending across a width of the pad, the predefined crease configured to facilitate bending of the pad.

### Claim 16

A respiratory expellant containment pad comprising:
a base layer;
a containment layer secured to a first side of the base layer, the containment layer including a disinfectant configured to disinfect respiratory expellant from the wearer of the containment pad including coughing and sneezing;
a sidewall extending from the base layer and extending around the containment layer;
an adhesive layer on a second side of the base layer that is opposite to the containment layer; and
a predefined crease extending across a width of the pad, the predefined crease configured to facilitate bending of the pad.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 16, wherein the sidewall extends completely around the containment layer.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The respiratory expellant containment pad of claim 17, wherein the sidewall extends further from the base layer than the containment layer.
