Foam Techniques Ltd - Medical Foam Transforms Hospital Standards
In recent years medical foam has been introduced into hospital environments in an ever
increasing number of applications.
The unique properties offered by medical foam have
supplanted the less than ideal materials which preceded it.
As medical foam is simple to
sterilise, low in density and offers a suitable level of absorption the variety of uses for it in a
medical capacity seem to be endless.
Moreover, different grades of medical foam are
available with differing properties that suit specific medical applications.
One application of medical foam is in immobilising broken limbs during the recovery period.
Previously slings had been used in this application, often constructed from cotton.
However,
a number of their properties were less than ideal, namely the hygiene of slings with
prolonged usage, the comfort of slings after a long period of time of wearing and the
support given to the broken limb.
