<p>A reusable pad (10) for the absorption, dispersion and retention of a liquid is disclosed. The pad comprises an interior layer (12) of hydrophobic material for receiving the liquid, a median layer (14) consisting of a non-woven web of carded and cross-laid viscose rayon fibres and an outer layer (16) of substantially waterproof polyurethane film. The fibres of the median layer have a cross-section of substantially rigid multilimbed configuration. The webs are stitchbonded to form a cohesive layer for dispersing and absorbing the liquid. The webs are stitchbonded with a thread under medium tension whereby uniform absorption characteristics are retained throughout said web. The interior layer (12), median layer (14) and outer layer (16) are joined to form a pad of unitary construction and capable of being washed for reuse.</p> |
