METHOD OF FORMING A URINARY INCONTINENCE DEVICE

摘要

A method of forming a urinary incontinence device for alleviating female urinary incontinence is disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming a resilient member and a non-absorbent. The resilient member has a side edge and the non-absorbent has a first surface and a side edge. The resilient member is positioned adjacent to the first surface of the non-absorbent. The side edge of the resilient member is aligned with the side edge of the non-absorbent. The resilient member and the non-absorbent are then rolled into a softwind having a non-uniform cross-sectional configuration. The softwind is compressed into a pledget having a uniform cross-sectional configuration. A withdrawal string is then secured to the pledget to form a urinary incontinence device.
