dissolvable

Some existing 3D printing techniques already support this with dual-materials (where the support material is dissolvable easily).

A dissolvable wet wipe doesn't seem all that feasible as what is it supposed to take to make it dissolve?

Have you ever tried putting one in some water just to see how dissolvable they are?

Soap, by virtue of being soap, has antibacterial properties because it disrupts fat layers by making them dissolvable in water, iirc.

In the present article, the problem is that dissolvable sutures are made out of biodegradable polycaprolactone, and there's a Pseudomonas biofilm that can grow on polycaprolactone, so it's an infection problem.

But FDM printing has gotten a lot better, especially with the bambulab material switcher where you can use water-dissolvable support material.

If they were dissolvable in water, the wetness of the wipes would cause dissolvement.

Months later, a different video was published, where some household solvent was used to easily pull the very-dissolvable pseudoephedrine salts from the paste.

Unlike plastic straws, we are adding this in a dissolvable medium, which also seems like a particularly bad idea.

In addition to the standard tools, they would be using X-rays, dyes, internal (dissolvable) sutures, etc.

Probiora seems similar, but less sticky (it recommends a daily dissolvable tablet instead a once a decade tablet) and instead of producing ethanol, produces hydrogen peroxide.

Why don't they make degradable/dissolvable wet wipes then?

When I use pods, I need to fiddle them out of the (small) box, remove the "self-dissolvable" plastic, open the bin, put it in, close it and put the pod into the dishwasher.
