Patent

CA 2273161

An absorbent article, such as a diaper, containing leg cuffs coated with a lotion composition is disclosed. The lotions disclosed in the present invention minimize the abrasion between the cuffs and skin in the area where the cuffs contact the wearer's skin, resulting in less skin irritation. The lotion compositions also reduce the adherence of BM to the skin of the wearer, thereby improving the ease of BM clean up. The lotion composition comprises a plastic or fluid emollient such as mineral oil or petrolatum, an immobilizing agent such as a fatty alcohol or paraffin wax to immobilize the emollient on the surface of the diaper leg cuffs, and optionally a hydrophilic surfactant to improve the processability and/or stability of the lotion compositions. Because the emollient is substantially immobilized on the surface of the leg cuff, less lotion is required to impart the desired therapeutic or protective lotion coating benefits.

L'invention a trait à un article absorbant, une couche par exemple, pourvu de lisières d'étanchéité entourant les jambes imprégnées d'une lotion. Les lotions de l'invention réduisent à son minimum l'abrasion causée à la peau lorsque les lisières entrent en contact avec celle-ci, ce qui a pour corollaire de réduire l'irritation cutanée. Ces lotions diminuent également l'adhérence des selles à la peau du porteur, ce qui facilite son nettoyage. Elles renferment un émollient plastique ou fluide, une huile minérale ou de la vaseline, un agent d'immobilisation tel qu'un alcool gras ou de la paraffine destiné à fixer l'émollient à la surface des lisières de la couche et, éventuellement, un tensio-actif hydrophile renforçant l'aptitude au traitement et/ou la stabilité desdites lotions. Dans la mesure où l'émollient est quasiment fixé à la surface des lisières, il faut moins de lotion pour assurer les mêmes avantages thérapeutiques ou les mêmes effets protecteurs souhaités.
