Best Answer

Insulating materials tend to be friable - able to be crumbled to dust by hand pressure alone. You do not want dust from such materials falling into open incisions.

In addition, insulating material sent do be porous and thus difficult or impossible to clean to the level of disinfection required by an operating room.
