What are the types of medical tape

Summary: Medical tape is the tape used in the medical field, also known as medical tape, with good breathability, for isolation of wounds, prevention of infection and other important role. There are four main types of commonly used medical tape, which are pressure sensitive medical tape, waterproof anti-allergy medical tape, paper anti-allergy medical tape and transparent breathable medical tape. Medical tape is made of non-woven fabric, PE, cotton and other substrates, coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive, the use of coating methods are mainly scraper coating, transfer coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating and so on. Below to learn about the types of medical tape what it is. First, what are the types of medical tape

Medical tape is a more common use of a medical consumables, hospitals in many places with medical tape, many friends at home, the medicine cabinet will also put some medical tape. There are many types of medical tape, commonly used in the following four main:

1, pressure-sensitive medical tape

that is, we often say that the medical tape, mainly composed of cotton and adhesive, this kind of product on the proportion of adhesive requirements are more stringent, mainly used for the fixing of a variety of materials, the requirements of the adhesive properties of better, but because of the adhesive properties of such products are better, so for the adhesive tape Allergic people, the use of such tape for skin fixation, it is easy to cause more troublesome allergic reactions.

2, waterproof anti-allergy medical tape

If the skin is allergic, we need to use anti-allergy type tape.

3, paper anti-allergy medical tape

Specifically developed for allergy sufferers, the above two types of anti-allergy tape adhesion is relatively low, so it can not be used as a fixed, but only the so-called pressure-sensitive medical tape alternatives.

4, transparent breathable medical tape

This type of tape has a wider scope of application, and more useful, because the adhesion is better, plus the tape itself is transparent, and there are many small ventilation holes, so it is very suitable for as a large area of the skin adhesion and fixation of the application, because of the product is better, plus the breathable, strong adhesive, but also by some people as a sticker! Double eyelid sticker tape raw materials.

Two, medical tape coating methods are several

Medical tape production method is very simple, the choice of non-woven fabrics, PE materials or cotton as a substrate, medical pressure-sensitive adhesive coated in the substrate can be produced, the medical tape coating methods are mainly the following:

1, scraper coating

Use of the scraper wipe role, so that the pressure sensitive adhesive is evenly coated on the substrate, so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be applied to the substrate. adhesive evenly coated on the surface of the substrate.

2, transfer coating

The base material of the medical breathable tape (such as medical non-woven fabric) and the anti-adhesive base material (medical silicone paper) pre-coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive are compressed and laminated, so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive powder is transferred from the surface of the medical silicone paper to the medical non-woven fabric.

3, gravure printing coating

Use of circular stick cylinder surface uniform or regular rows of gravure pits, the viscosity of the liquid adhesive will be small evenly transferred to the substrate of medical tape.

4, extrusion coating

Use pressure to extrude the pressure-sensitive adhesive from the gap, and coated on the surface of the medical breathable tape substrate.
