Evaporating attachment means suitable for containing and draining fluids emanating from a subject

A system for containing and draining fluids emanating from a subject comprising absorptive means in combination with evaporative means and means to affix said evaporative means to said absorptive means, said evaporative means comprising a first layer made of a moisture-absorbent material and a second layer made of a non-moisture absorbent material;

• said first and second layers having top and bottom edge portions which are aligned and secured in staggered positions relative to each other so that at one end, said first layer top edge portion extends beyond the second layer top edge portion thereof, and said first layer top edge portion is in contact with a lower edge of said absorptive means, said absorptive means being situated in contact with an area of the subject from which a fluid is emanating, said evaporative means being positioned in a vertical plane below said edge of said absorptive means;
• and, correspondingly, said second layer bottom edge portion of said evaporative means extends beyond said first bottom edge portion at the other end thereof, there being a resulting area wherein the top surface of the lower portion of said first layer is in direct contact with the bottom surface of the upper portion of said second layer.
