Polyurethane sheet: A potential substitute of surgical cotton gauze
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Polyurethane sheet is a pure white, soft, and flexible synthetic sponge with a mechanical strength and abrasion resistance equivalent or even superior to other sponge materials. Our study indicates that the blood absorption power of the polyurethane sheet is equi...
