The three materials of medical tape have their own different characteristics, and we analyze them while experimenting.
Non-woven fabric (right): It is characterized by extremely low irritation, no tingling sensation when torn medical tape, and it feels relatively light and breathable. But the disadvantages are also obvious, the strength is relatively low and it is not waterproof.
PE tape (middle): The performance of medical tape is in between, sacrificing a certain permeability in exchange for higher strength, and has a certain degree of waterproofness, but the irritation of tearing off is relatively obvious.
Zinc oxide (left): Zinc oxide of medical tape is not the material of the tape itself, the material of the tape itself is pure cotton, and zinc oxide is the paint impregnated on the tape. This kind of medical tape is large, high strength, strong waterproof, the irritation of tearing off is similar to PE tape, and the price is relatively high.
In addition, medical tape, zinc oxide also has the effect of promoting wound healing, and can be directly used for frostbite and cracked wounds.
