Abstract
A sanitary article is provided for reducing the spread of contamination between a user and an object. The article comprises a permeable layer, an impermeable layer, and an anti-bacterial gel interposed between the permeable layer and the impermeable layer. The permeable and impermeable layers may be sealed to each other to restrict the movement of the gel and to make the article unitary. The gel may at least partially diffuse through the permeable layer upon the user contacting the permeable layer while the impermeable layer impeded diffusion of the gel toward the object upon the object contacting the impermeable layer.
Claims18
A sanitary article for reducing the spread of contamination between a user and an object, the article comprising:
- a permeable layer of material defining a first fringe area;
- an impermeable layer of material defining a second fringe area, the impermeable layer being sealed to the permeable layer along a continuous seal substantially within the first and second fringe areas of the respective ones of the permeable and impermeable layers, the impermeable layer further including an adhesive disposed on an exterior surface of the impermeable layer;
- an anti-bacterial gel interposed between the permeable layer and the impermeable layer, the gel being substantially laterally bounded by the seal between the permeable and impermeable layers;
- wherein the gel at least partially diffuses through the permeable layer upon user contact therewith to be imparted to the user, and wherein the gel is not diffusible through the impermeable layer toward the object upon the object contacting the impermeable layer.
A sanitary article for reducing the spread of contamination between a user and an object, the article comprising:
- a permeable layer of material defining first interior and first exterior surfaces, the permeable layer further defining a first fringe area;
- an impermeable layer of material defining second interior and second exterior surfaces, the impermeable layer further defining a second fringe area, the impermeable layer being sealed to the permeable layer along a continuous heat pressed seal substantially within the first and second fringe areas of the respective ones of the permeable and impermeable layers, the impermeable layer second exterior surface having an adhesive disposed thereon;
- and
- an anti-bacterial gel interposed between the permeable layer and the impermeable layer, the gel being substantially laterally bounded by the seal between the permeable and impermeable layers;
- wherein the gel at least partially diffuses through the permeable layer upon the user contacting the first exterior surface thereof to be imparted to the user, and wherein the gel is not diffusible through the impermeable layer toward the object upon the object contacting the second exterior surface of the impermeable layer.
A sanitary article for reducing the spread of contamination between a user and an object, the article comprising:
- a permeable layer of material defining first interior and first exterior surfaces, the permeable layer further defining a first fringe area, the permeable layer being impregnated with an anti-bacterial gel, the gel being imparted to a user upon the user contacting the permeable layer;
- and
- a impermeable layer of material defining second interior and second exterior surfaces, the impermeable layer further defining a second fringe area, the impermeable layer being sealed to the permeable layer along a continuous seal substantially within the first and second fringe areas of the respective ones of the permeable and impermeable layers, the impermeable layer impeding the diffusion of the gel toward the object upon the object contacting the second exterior surface of the impermeable layer, the impermeable layer having an adhesive disposed on the second exterior surface thereof.
