“…Similar findings were produced by Akbari et al, although the authors failed to indicate the type of glove material that was used 7 . Melis and colleagues studied the efficacy of various PVA coatings, such as oxidized cellulose (Merocel Hemox; Medtronic Xomed) and polyethylene film (Merocel 2000; Medtronic Xomed) 8 . For comfort during removal, the polyethylene coating performed best, followed by oxidized cellulose and then plain PVA.…”

Objective To determine histopathological changes in nasal mucosa associated with duration of nasal packing with Merocel tampons. Methods This study included 24 healthy rabbits, 6 rabbits per group. In group A, no tampon was applied. In group B, Merocel nasal tampons were applied and removed after 24 hours. In group C, the tampons were removed after 48 hours. In group D, the tampons were removed after 5 days. Specimens were obtained from the septum of each rabbit, including cartilage. Histopathological examination was performed. Results Significant differences were observed in terms of inflammatory infiltration and loss of cilia between groups A and B. Significant differences were also observed in terms of inflammatory infiltration, haematoma, cilia loss, epithelium dysplasia and cartilage degeneration between groups B and C. There were significant differences in terms of cilia loss, epithelium dysplasia and subepithelial fibrosis between groups C and D. Cartilage degeneration was mild in one animal in group B and in two animals in group C, and was moderate in four animals in group C. Conclusion It is recommended that Merocel nasal tampons are removed within 48 hours to preserve nasal mucosal function. Keeping the pack longer may cause cartilage degeneration and other complications.

“…PVA swells following water absorption and can be used to realize localized compression and physical hemostasis. Therefore, these materials are commonly used for compression hemostasis of narrow cavities in humans (such as nasal 131 , 132 and anal cavities). Kim et al used PVA-based nanocellulose sponges to study a rabbit nasal mucosal defect model, and experiments demonstrated that PVA sponges significantly promoted the mucosal regeneration during the early stages of mucosal wound healing of mucosal wounds in noses 132 .…”

Bleeding caused by trauma or surgery is a serious health problem, and uncontrollable bleeding can result in death. Therefore, developing safe, effective, and convenient hemostatic materials is important. Active hemostatic agents currently used to investigate the field of hemostasis are divided into four broad categories: natural polymers, synthetic polymers, inorganic materials, and metal-containing materials. Hemostatic materials are prepared in various forms for wound care applications based on the active ingredients used. These materials include nanofibers, gels, sponges, and nanoparticles. Hemostatic materials find their applications in the field of wound care, and they are also used for hemostasis during malignant tumor surgery. Prompt and effective hemostasis can reduce the possibility of the spread of tumor cells with blood. This review discusses the outcomes of current research conducted in the field and the problems persisting in the field of developing hemostatic materials. The review also presents a platform for the further development of hemostatic materials.
