Polyvinyl Alcohol in Medical
Polyvinyl alcohol (also known as PVA, PVOH and PVAl) is one of the most famous water-soluble synthetic polymers. PVA is biocompatible, toxicologically safe, water-soluble and suitable for simulation of natural tissues. It has good oxygen permeability, shows no immunogenic effects, and features excellent film forming, emulsifying and remoistable properties. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is exceptionally well suited for large-scale commercial use as an excipient in various pharmaceutical products such as tablet coatings, eye drops, biofermentation and topicals.
