PVA Vs Cotton Gauze : PVA Poly Vinyl Acetal (PVA): Cotton Gauze: Modern compressed sponge product capable of expanding to double its size when hydrated for quick and easy insertion Fiber-free minimising risk of contamination to surgical site Interconnected cell-structure with capillary action allowing for easy rehydration and delivery of medication Soft and atraumatic when hydrated increasing patient comfort and reducing pain and tissue trauma during removal Bio-compatible and inert, reducing risk of reaction or infection to surgical site High tensile strength enables easier removal and reduces risk of pulling or leaving part of the packaging behind Dated procedure requires several meters of packing resulting in traumatic and time consuming insertion Contains fibre particles which can contaminate surgical site Abrasive open woven structure with increased risk of tissue adhesion and trauma such as re-bleeding during removal Low tensile strength and adhesion risk increases chance of tearing and pulling during removal which can lead to packaging being left behind
