Product Introduction

Activity level of patient

The more active the patient, the higher the adhesion required.

Potential for skin surface distention or movement

The risk of skin damage may be reduced by using tapes that stretch with skin distention or movement.

Anticipated wear time

Tape adhesion generally builds over time. Breathable tapes are used for longer-term wear.

History and current medical conditions

History and current medical conditions should be studied e.g., allergies/ sensitivities to medical adhesives, medications, medical conditions

Medical Surgical tapes facilitate dressings in cases of wounds, injuries, and surgeries. While there are varieties of medical tapes available in the market, including adhesive tapes, elastic tapes, silicone tapes, paper tapes, and silk cloth tapes, the selection of medical tapes depends on a range of skin-related factors, including its age and integrity, oiliness, or sensitivity to specific adhesives. Tapes that come in a single-use format, with paper or cloth as its base ingredient, help reduce cross-contamination, infection, and waste.

In some countries, the majority of births are performed by cesarean section, in which case 50mm wide surgical tape is very often used to protect the safety of the incised scar.

"Many times, the tape is used to create pressure against the incision to reduce the incidence of oozing from the skin edges along incision."

When you are ready to leave the hospital after giving birth, your doctor will change the bandages and use surgical tape to protect and heal the incision after you return home.

The explosive spread of the new coronavirus has also increased the demand for surgical tape in recent years to secure intravenous needles, gauze, and bandages in medical facilities.

Patients who are hospitalized or need to be treated with catheters or IVs for long periods of time need to keep tubes and catheters in place with tape 24 hours a day for many days, so "breathable" tape is needed for use on fragile or at-risk skin and in moist skin environments to avoid as much stress on the skin as possible.

The market for healthcare adhesive tapes is estimated to grow from USD 27.2 billion in 2018 to USD 37.3 billion by 2023, at a CAG(Compound annual growth rate) of 6.51% during the forecast period due the high demand for these tapes for primary treatment of wounds by covering and securing to prevent bacterial infections, and to hold bandages in place.

They are also used for securing dressings, catheters, and infusion or drainage devices. It comes in a variety of lengths and widths that are designed to meet a wide range of bandaging needs. The growth of the market is due to the increasing use of these tapes in wound care and for surgery in emerging economies such as India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, and Argentina.
