Soft Paper Non-Woven Microporous Self Adhesive Medical Surgical Tape
Medical non-woven paper tape is a non-woven fabric-based medical tape widely used in the medical field. Typically made from synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, it is produced through a non-woven process. Its surface is fluffy and "cloth-like," lacking the warp and weft texture of traditional cotton fabric. It is lightweight and flexible. The adhesive backing is typically medical acrylic adhesive, with some products using silicone adhesive, which has moderate tack and is easy to tear.
Performance Highlights
Good Breathability: Non-woven fabrics inherently have interfiber spaces and microporous design, allowing the skin to breathe freely, reducing discomfort or infection risks.
Hypoallergenicity: Soft and skin-friendly materials with hypoallergenic adhesive formula, suitable for sensitive skin.
Moderate Tack: Medical pressure-sensitive adhesives provide a secure hold on dressings and catheters while remaining gentle upon removal.
Strong Flexibility: Offers excellent flexibility and tensile strength, conforming to joints and adapting to daily activities.
Applications
Medical Fixation: Securing infusion needles, tubing, catheters, and ECG electrodes.
Wound Care: Creating a protective layer for sterile dressings to prevent exposure and friction.
Special Situations: Assisting in burn care or temporary home care for securing gauze.
