Foams obtained from high internal phase emulsions as absorbent members for catamenial pads.

ABSORB FOAM CAPABLE OF FLUIDS WITH BLOOD AND BLOOD BASE, ESPECIALLY menstruation. These absorbent foams possess PRESSURES ABSORCION capillar ELEVATED, needed in absorbent used in products catamenial, BUT HAVE ENOUGH opening to allow free movement of insoluble components present in the fluids with a base BLOOD, such as menstruation. These foams absorbents prepared by emulsion polymerization HIGH PHASE INTERNAL (HIPE), where the ratio between volume and weight Aqueous Phase FACING THE PHASE OLEOSA IS in the range of about 20: 1 to about 125: 1. These foams are particularly useful as absorbents for COMPRESSES catamenial ELEMENTS.
