An absorbent pack for absorbing body fluids is provided. The absorbent pack includes an absorbent member and an enclosure assembly that surrounds the absorbent member. Apertures are formed in the enclosure member to permit body fluid to pass therethrough and be absorbed by the absorbent member. The enclosure assembly is made of a material that avoids unwanted adherence between the absorbent pack and a patient's skin or other body tissue. The enclosure assembly has a size to allow the absorbent member to expand without being impeded when it absorbs body fluid. A retention member can be joined to an anterior end of the absorbent member to assist in the removal of the absorbent pack from a body cavity. A cap member can be joined to the anterior end in order to avoid the possibility of separation of the anterior end from remaining portions of the absorbent member when the absorbent pack is removed from a body cavity. A radiopaque marker can also be utilized as part of the absorbent pack in any case where it is necessary to locate the absorbent pack using an x-ray image. In another embodiment, the absorbent pack includes two enclosure members that surround the absorbent member. Because portions of the inner enclosure member underlie or cover the apertures of the outer enclosure member, none of the absorbent member is in contact with the patient's tissue when this absorbent pack is used. |
