A degradable paper article with long-shelf-life adhesive backing, together with a related fabrication method. The folding arrangement has at least two slats made of plastic which are arranged parallel to one another, and the folding arrangement can be retracted, while being folded, into the device in order to at least partially unblock the opening. The coupling members are furthermore connected to each other by means of at least one elastically deformable connection element. A foam pad insert is positioned and fixed on the back surface of the foam backing layer. The device includes a tissue carrier which is comprised of a base member and parallel plates extending from a top side of the base member. If a value of the first data input bus 120 is greater than the count of the calculation units, the implemented calculation unit information output circuit 117 outputs a value \u201c1\u201d to a flag register 102.
