Strong chemical and abrasion resistance

Ramer Ltd PVA products go through stringent quality control. Resistant to most commercial and industrial chemicals, our sponge is a popular choice by designers looking for a versatile sponge material.

Medical Applications

Ramer PVA sponge was first documented as being used for medical purposes back in 1959, under the brand name Prosthex®, when it was used by surgeons for rectal prolapse repair. More recently Ramerfoam® has been used for a wide variety of medical applications.

UV resistant


Ramerfoam® is unlike other sponge products on the market. UV does not break down the chemical bonds and shorten the lifespan of the product. We still have samples of stock produced in 1949 that are in the same condition as when they came off the production line.

Available in a wide range of pore sizes and water holding capacity

Colour

Ramerfoam® is naturally brilliant white and by introducing organic pigments Ramer can offer a wide range of standard colours. We can also match most colour shades to suit individual customer requirements, subject to a minimum order quantity. All Ramer products are machine washable up to temperatures of 40°C. All medical and cleanroom products are sold in white only

"Consistently good product quality over the years."

Med SSE System GmbH Alfred von der Lehr, based in Nuremberg, Germany has had a very good working relationship with Ramer based on mutual trust since 1982,


This was the beginning of a cooperation that has now lasted for almost 40 years. This supplier loyalty is the result of the consistently good product quality over the years.


PVA foam is the main component of our products, which must, due to EU directives, meet certain requirements in order to obtain a CE certificate.


Our products are worn inside the body for up to 12 hours. Numerous tests and examinations by accredited research laboratories underline that the PVA foam is toxicologically, dermatologically and immunologically harmless. Of course, consistent product quality is also expected and demanded by consumers and also by Med SSE as a processor. These properties are cleanliness, resilience, elasticity, consistent pore structure and good processability.


We would like to thank the Ramer company for the many years of very good cooperation.
