The PVA sponge we produced is pure white, clean, uniform, comfortable and highly flexible, which can be widely used for PVA expansion hemostatic sponge, PVA liquid absorption sponge, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy PVA sponge. The production process is applied by clean gas foaming process and phase separation technology, therefore the PVA sponge shows round and porous bubble shape in microscope by SEM(scanning electron microscope), even the pore wall shows obvious "bubble" characteristics, which essentially different from the sponge produced by starch filling process. Performance of product such as pore size, density, flexibility and tensile strength could be well controlled.
