The first point is that the medical tape has better air permeability, because it is in direct contact with the skin, so it has a lot of air holes. Ordinary tapes hardly touch the skin directly, and are packed in other packages or boxes, so ventilation is almost out of consideration.
The second point is the requirement for stickiness. The requirements for medical use are quite special. It should not be too sticky or non-sticky. It needs to have a certain degree of stickiness to stick to the infusion tube and the skin, but it must not cause pain when peeled off. Therefore, it is more difficult to control the stickiness than ordinary tape.
Ordinary tape is fine as long as it is sticky enough.
The third and most obvious point is the smell. The smell of ordinary tape is very strong, and there will be a pungent smell without getting close, which is also related to its stickiness. There is no medical tape at all, because the face of the crowd is very sensitive to smell, so medical tape is safer and more odorless.
It can be seen from this that in the medical industry, all things are the result of excellence regardless of their size. Small medical tapes have so much attention. Ordinary tapes do not need to be as precise as medical tapes according to their own needs. In order to be suitable for the industry, it is also to maximize its own value.
