Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
A substantially flat, circular, microporous disc consisting essentially of elastic segmented polyurethane having on one side, a substantially non-porous continuous skin and, on the other side, a substantially open pore surface with pore openings of ˜10 to ˜2000 microns, said disc having a diameter of from 1 mm to 6 mm, a thickness of from 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm, a bulk density of from 0.30 to 0.40 g/cm 3 , a total intrusion volume of from 1.0 to 2.0 cm 3 /g and a total pore area of 0.30 to 0.40 m 2 /g, said intrusion volume and pore area values determined by mercury porosimetry.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 106 words
A substantially flat, circular, microporous disc consisting essentially of elastic segmented polyurethane having on one side, a substantially non-porous continuous skin and, on the other side, a substantially open pore surface with pore openings of ˜10 to ˜2000 microns, said disc having a diameter of from 1 mm to 6 mm, a thickness of from 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm, a bulk density of from 0.30 to 0.40 g/cm 3 , a total intrusion volume of from 1.0 to 2.0 cm 3 /g and a total pore area of 0.30 to 0.40 m 2 /g, said intrusion volume and pore area values determined by mercury porosimetry.
