[0101] Comparative Example 1

[0102] Commercially available medical absorbent cotton balls (Zhejiang Shaoxing Medical Device Registration No. 20170083 (Revised)).

[0103] The commercially available medical absorbent cotton ball is soaked in 75% alcohol and medical iodophor to reach the saturated state of liquid absorption.

[0104] Performance detection

[0105] The medical polyurethane cotton balls prepared in Examples 1-6 and the medical absorbent cotton ball of Comparative Example 1 are subjected to performance testing, and the liquid absorption performance is evaluated by absorption time, water absorption amount and liquid extrusion rate. The detection method is as follows: the absorption time refers to that 1 mL of room temperature water is quickly added on the horizontal surface of a sample with an area of 10 cm 2 or more by using a pipette gun, and the time for the water to be completely absorbed by the sample is recorded by a stopwatch; the complete absorption refers to that there is no liquid water in the visual field horizontal to the sample plane; the water absorption amount refers to that about 5 g of the sample is placed in a beaker which is large enough and contains enough water, and after being soaked for 15 min, the sample is taken out by using a test basket which has been weighed, and is hung for 30 s to control water, and then is placed in another beaker with a known mass, and is weighed, and the mass of water absorbed per gram of the sample is calculated; the liquid extrusion rate refers to that the sample after the water absorption amount is tested is squeezed dry by hand until no liquid drops, and then is placed in a test basket, and is weighed, and the percentage of the squeezed water in the total water absorbed by the sample is calculated; the smaller the absorption time, the better the hydrophilicity of the medical polyurethane cotton ball; the larger the water absorption amount, the stronger the liquid absorption performance of the medical polyurethane cotton ball; the larger the liquid extrusion rate, the smaller the liquid retention capacity of the medical polyurethane cotton ball; the cytotoxicity is evaluated according to the national standard GB / T 16886.5-2003, and the smaller the value, the safer and more reliable the medical polyurethane cotton ball is.

[0106] The detection results are as follows:

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] It can be seen that the liquid absorption time, liquid absorption amount, liquid extrusion rate and volume expansion rate of the polyurethane cotton ball prepared in the examples are equal to or better than those of the commercially available medical absorbent cotton ball of Comparative Example 1, and the polyurethane cotton ball has no biological toxicity. At the same time, the polyurethane cotton ball in the examples has a certain resilience (as shown in Figure 7 , wherein a-c are the pictures of the product prepared in Example 1, and d-f are the pictures of the product of Comparative Example 1, and the polyurethane cotton ball is pressed and rebounded), and does not fall off or shed during the application process (as shown in Figure 8 , wherein a is the original picture, b is the picture after the medical polyurethane cotton ball prepared in Example 1 is wiped, and there is no cotton residue, and c is the picture after the medical absorbent cotton ball of Comparative Example 1 is wiped, and there is cotton residue, in order to facilitate observation, the cotton balls are dyed and dried before use), and is soft and comfortable. In addition, the preparation method of the polyurethane cotton ball prepared in the examples is simple, easy to store and does not breed insects.

[0110] The application provides a medical polyurethane cotton ball and a preparation method and application thereof. The medical polyurethane cotton ball has the advantages of simple preparation method, no biological toxicity, fast liquid instantaneous suction speed, large liquid absorption amount, high liquid extrusion rate, no dust or cotton fiber after smearing, certain elasticity, easy preservation, no insect, skin-friendly softness and high comfort. In the application, the dry medical polyurethane cotton ball can quickly absorb a large amount of liquid at one time, thereby reducing the operation time and the use amount of the cotton ball; the dry medical polyurethane cotton ball has liquid absorption swelling property, and can be used as a temporary filler to realize seamless filling. The alcohol or iodophor medical polyurethane cotton ball can absorb a large amount of liquid, and can complete the smearing operation of a large area at one time, thereby improving the smearing efficiency and reducing the replacement frequency of the cotton ball and the waste of the liquid. The medical polyurethane cotton ball provided by the application is skin-friendly soft and comfortable in the dry and wet states, can effectively reduce the stimulation to the skin and the wound, and can be applied to various nursing, examination, surgery and daily disinfection.

[0111] While the application has been described and illustrated with reference to specific embodiments thereof, these descriptions and illustrations are not intended to limit the application. Those skilled in the art can readily devise various changes and modifications of the embodiments without departing from the true spirit and scope of the application as defined by the appended claims. All such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the claims. Although the method disclosed herein has been described with reference to particular operations performed in a particular order, it will be understood that these operations can be combined, sub-divided, or re-ordered to form equivalent methods without departing from the teachings of the present application. Accordingly, unless specifically indicated herein, the order and grouping of operations are not a limitation of the present application.

Claims

1. A method for preparing a polyurethane sponge, comprising: reacting a polyether triol and toluene diisocyanate to obtain an oligomer; the polyether triol is prepared from a material comprising ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; the number average molecular weight of the polyether triol is 3000-6000; and the mass ratio of the polyether triol to toluene diisocyanate is 100:(20-40); mixing water, a crosslinking agent and an auxiliary agent to obtain a mixture; the auxiliary agent is selected from one or more of a cell opener, an emulsifier and a foam stabilizer; the mass ratio of the water, the crosslinking agent and the auxiliary agent is 100:(14-50):(15-40); the crosslinking agent is selected from one or more of a small molecule diol and a small molecule triol; the small molecule diol is selected from one or more of ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol and neopentyl glycol; the small molecule triol is selected from one or more of trimethylolpropane, glycerol, a low molecular weight polyether triol and a low molecular weight polycaprolactone triol; the molecular weight of the low molecular weight polyether triol is 400-1000; and the molecular weight of the low molecular weight polycaprolactone triol is 400-1000; mixing the oligomer and the mixture to obtain a cast product, and subjecting the cast product to heat treatment and sterilization treatment; the heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 37-120℃ for 0.5-24h to obtain a polyurethane sponge; and the mass ratio of the oligomer to the mixture is 1:(0.9-1.4).

2. The method of claim 1, wherein, the auxiliary agent is selected from a cell opener, an emulsifier and a foam stabilizer; and the mass ratio of the emulsifier, the cell opener and the foam stabilizer is 100:(110-490):(44-110).

3. The method of claim 1, wherein, the sterilization treatment is performed using ethylene oxide and / or radiation.

4. A medical polyurethane sponge ball comprising the polyurethane sponge obtained by the method of claim 1.
