Absorption body, especially designed for use in cases of female urinary incontinence and containing a core 1 of a strongly absorbent material, which core is entirely or partially surrounded by one or more layers of absorbent material. In order to be able to reliably absorb the urine arriving in an abrupt flow the core 1 is formed in combination as a stable, three-dimensional fibre network, in which there is an evenly distributed, highly absorbent powder material, for example a cross-linked polymer of a methacrylic monomer; the core 1 is equipped with a number of especially rectilinear, deep channels 2, which are turned towards the source of the liquid that is to be absorbed; and the channels 2 in the core 1 are cut or milled therein with a width of at least 4 mm and with at least 4 mm of core material left between each two adjacent channels 2. The absorption capacity can be increased by adding further layers of absorbent material, for example of the same type as the core material, on the side remote from the liquid source. <IMAGE> |
