ABSTRACT:
Method for forming polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) into surgical elements include forming a mixture of PVA and water into a film by vacuum pressing with a first force, heating, applying a second force two to two hundred times the firs force, drying the film to remove water to a content of less than about 10% by weight based on the weight of the film, and molding the film into a desired shape.
