DISPOSABLE HYGIENIC ARTICLE WITH MEANS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING

摘要

A disposable, wearable article can be used for collecting a sample and performing urinalysis. The article incorporates a test port feature to simplify this function. The test port has a resealable cover that can be used to selectively expose an aperture through the backsheet of the disposable article. The test port is used to position test devices, such as urine test strips to urine collected in the disposable article.
