PVA sponges possess a variety of desirable properties for the medical industry. Due to the soft porous structure, PVA sponges provide fast wicking and fluid control especially suited for medical and surgical applications. With an exceptionally high volume and speed of absorption, a PVA sponge is capable of soaking up and retaining over 10 times its dry weight for a volume increase of 20% in a matter of seconds.
PVA sponges made through air expansion result in a strong porous structure with a controllable range of pore size. Air expansion also produces pure, ultraclean sponges without any residue. PVA foam made through particle replacement require these particles to be processed out. Unlike other medical sponges, SURGI-PVATMÂ is not susceptible to bacterial growth. Biocompatible PVA sponges are inorganic, fiber and lint-free. SURGI-PVATMÂ Sponge proves to be effective and ideal solution to assist in management of fluids i.e. fluid control and drainage control and as a tampnode and for the haemostasis.
