Medtronic Merocel Standard Nasal Dressing without Drawstring – 400402

– The Medtronic Merocel Standard Nasal Dressing process uses purified air to form the pores of the sponge material, instead of pore-forming chemical additives

– Pore-forming chemical additives, such as starch/sulfate combinations, cannot be removed completely from the finished product

– These pore formers are contaminants for many applications

– The Merocel PVA sponge material has 100% open pores in a structure with no dead-end pockets that hold residues

– This contributes to very effective purification, resulting in low extractable residues

– The Merocel PVA is gamma-radiated to destroy mold spores and other microorganisms that cause contamination in the final product

– The Merocel nasal dressing is highly absorbent up to 21 times its weight in fluid
– The biocompatible dressing is high in purity and features excellent wet state elasticity
– The dressing is resistant to many chemicals and is durable and long-lasting
– This X-ray detectable dressing is used to control pore size ranges from 0.0001 mm – 0.2 mm
