Abstract:
This study was effort to determination of the Evaluation of absorbency and pH values of
pharmaceutical surgery products. Absorbent Cotton is also known as Surgical Cotton or
Cotton Wool and mainly used for medical purposes in hospitals, nursing homes, dispensaries and at home (for first aid) etc. Because of its property of high fluid absorbency, it is better known among masses as absorbent cotton. The raw cotton is processed by series of steps which render the cotton hydrophilic in character and free from external impurities needed to be fit for use in surgical dressings and personal hygiene. The objectives of this thesis work are to identifying what kind of test of the pharmaceutical gauge fabric, Absorbent fabric and cotton strips. Those fabrics are many kind of tests that’s immersion test, drop test, wicking test, pH test. In this project work, we were trying to know about how to test Immersion, drop, wicking and pH test. At first we were find out the absorbent of the cotton fabric A, B, C, D, and E. In this time we also found the pH test of the absorbent cotton. From those test we known to about how many water absorbs thus different types of pharmaceutical cotton & found their ph values, that was some different from on to another. Secondly, we were tested Gauge fabric’s immersion test, drop test, wicking test and pH values test that was different from on to another sample fabrics like as A,B,C,D and E. And finally, we were tested to the cotton strips Immersion, drop and pH values from A, B, C, D and E different types of fabric sample.
