Fluid sensing devices including fluid absorption and distribution layer

Abstract

Fluid sensing devices including a layer of fluid absorption and distribution material are provided. The layer includes a porous fibrous nonwoven matrix for absorbing fluid from the object to the first major surface of the layer and laterally distributing the absorbed fluid throughout the layer and to a second major surface of the layer opposite the first major surface. Hydration sensors are disposed on the second major surface of the layer to measure a hydration level.
