Liquid absorbent material used in a pouch for a stoma

摘要

A liquid absorbent material used in a pouch for a stoma comprising a laminate sheet having surface layers formed of water soluble or dispersible paper and an intermediate layer formed of a web comprising a mixture of a fibrous cellulosic absorbent resin and a powdery synthetic polymeric absorbent resin, wherein a plurality of linear recesses are arranged at such a pitch that the laminate sheet is easily tearable into each of fine sticks that can be inserted, for example, from a urine discharging tube into a stoma pouch for a urinary tract stoma. Liquid excrements flowing out of the stoma into the bag of the pouch can be rapidly solidified into jelly by the liquid absorbent material, thereby reliably preventing liquid excrements or bad smells thereof from leaking through the attaching port of the pouch or the like and preventing liquid excrement from deposition to the adhesives used for securing the pouch to the abdominal wall which would lead to deterioration of tackiness of the adhesives, to enable repeating use of the stoma pouch.
