hydrophilic polyurethane foam

The Environment Agency said hydrophilic polyurethane foam, a type of sponge that absorbs water easily. Perhaps it is most obviously useful in the context of medicine, where there are many different ways this could be used to help people. This foam is not the same as a common household sponge, it has been created that way so they are high in absorbency and thus can hold much liquid on volume basis.

Hydrophilic polyurethane foam is a kind of plastic that loves water. This makes it excellent for draining liquids. In hospitals and medical facilities, this foam may be mold in the shape of a sponge for ease to clean wounds or soak up excess fluid during surgeries by physicians/nurses. Keeping the area clean and dry is essential when someone gets hurt, and this foam helps a ton there.

Advantages of Using Hydrophilic Polyurethane Foam for Medical Applications

Ekofoam hydrophilic polyurethane foam has many properties that make it a great choice for medical applications. A lot of the reason is that it absorbs BHP (a secretion from skin) — which clean wounds and suck-up fluids like blood. At hospitals this is even more crucial because everything must be kept clean in order to heal. The foam also holds up better for a longer period of time and rarely breaks down, meaning that it can last an incredibly long time before you'll need to replace it. It is also incredibly versatile, which as an example can be sliced and diced to make different shapes. In a hospital setting, this is particularly helpful because wounds require different types of foam.
