Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0032793A2] A cleansing article especially adapted for the care and maintenance of the perineal area of infants or incontinent patients comprises a high loft wiping surface made up of a web of resilient fibers. Said fiber web is characterized by a high usable void volume, even under hand pressure. For stability, the fibrous web is affixed to a web-backing material. The web releasably contains an obleaginous cleansing agent. In use, the article is employed as a wiping pad with the web in contact with the patient's skin. When wiped across skin soiled with fecal matter, the oleaginous cleansing agent is released from the web to coat skin and fecal matter to prevent spreading and re-deposition. The high usable void volume of the wiping surface provides a high retention capacity for the fecal matter, thereby affording its convenient removal and sanitary disposal. The web-backing material provides dimensional stability to the web and protects the user's hand from contact with fecal matter or oleaginous cleansing agent.
