BioTexPants - New Clothing Generation – Underwear With Pantiliners For Prophylactic And Support Treatment Of The Lower Urinary Tract Inflammation

摘要

Inflammation of the lower urinary tract is a problem for 20% of women. As a part of a treatment doctors often recommend steam baths with essential oils. A system in which those baths are in the mobility form as a part of a clothing is described in this paper. That clothing consists of an underwear and 4 layers with different properties and it is described in that paper. The aim of the study is determining some basic parameters which are necessary for the design and construction of electric heating elements in the clothing structure. The measurements determine the value of these parameters of the electroconductive textiles. In the article there are described the test methods and a comprehensive study of different electroconductive materials which can be used as the textile heating elements. The system is patented in Poland (P. 408106) and it was awarded with the first prize in „Innovation is a woman‟ competition in Poland and three gold medals at international exhibitions of inventions.
