Abstract From the Canadian patent

An absorbent element for absorbent articles comprised of hydrophilic fibers and a discontinuous non-uniform layer, of particles of absorbent hydrogelling material arranged on the upper surface of the element includes a deposition zone on which the absorbent hydrogelling material is distributed with an increased surface density. The zone of increased surface density of the absorbent hydrogelling material can preferably be located in different positions suitable for the different anatomical forms of the users, so as to ensure more effective sealing against the backflow of the liquid and thus ensure an improved feeling of dryness.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 21, 1989 and granted April 16, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 21, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 21, 2011.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
