SPECIFICATIONS:

• Merocel nasal tampons consist of a biocompatible synthetic polymer material designed to overcome the problems associated with products made of cotton, cellulose, and other fibrous materials.
• The cells of Merocel are interconnected and continuous, giving the material great hemostatic and absorbent capabilities while remaining soft.
• The high absorbency of Merocel enables it to retain fluid up to 20 times its own weight. The combination of high absorbency and rapid expansion (2–3 seconds) ensures excellent control during use.
• Merocel nasal tampons have been shown not to cause toxic shock syndrome.
