Key functions during surgery
- Absorbing fluids: The primary use is to soak up excess fluids, including blood and tears, from the surgical field. Their high absorption capacity allows them to wick fluids away instantly, keeping the area clear for the surgeon.
- Wiping and clearing debris: Their lint-free, fiber-free, and ultraclean construction allows them to effectively remove microscopic debris and particles without introducing new foreign matter into the surgical site.
- Manipulating tissue: With their soft, pliable tips, PVA spears can be used for gentle manipulation of sensitive tissues, such as the corneal flap during LASIK. Surgeons often dip the spear in a saline solution to make it softer for this purpose.
- Increasing control: The spear shape and firm tip give the surgeon greater control during the procedure, making precise fluid absorption and tissue handling possible.
- Characteristics of PVA spears
- Material: They are made from medical-grade polyvinyl acetal (PVA) foam, a soft, highly absorbent, and biocompatible material.
- Construction: The sponge tip is attached to a handle, typically made of high-density plastic. Some high-quality versions are produced using an air-foaming process that avoids glues.
- Shape: Most are spear-shaped, often with a micro-tip for precise application. The unique texture allows for high-speed wicking of fluids.
- Safety: They are sterilized, single-use, and 100% free of fibers and lint to prevent complications.
