FAQ


Healthcare adhesive tapes are medical-grade tapes utilized for wound care, securing catheters, surgical dressings, and medical devices. They are available in various materials, including cloth, paper, silicone, and hydrocolloid-based films.

The type of backing material, such as paper, fabric, or plastic, directly affects tape breathability, flexibility, and conformability. For example, fabric-backed tapes offer high tensile strength and comfort; plastic-backed tapes provide waterproofing; and paper-backed tapes ensure easy tearability with minimal residue.

Cloth Tapes– Durable and flexible, ideal for areas with a lot of movement.

Paper Tapes – Gentle on the skin and often hypoallergenic.

Silicone Tapes – Suitable for sensitive or fragile skin.

Hydrocolloid / Hydrogel Tapes – Designed for wound care and securing devices.

Elastic / Athletic Tapes – Used in sports, rehabilitation, or for support.

Development of longer-lasting tapes with improved adhesion, introduction of skin-friendly and hypoallergenic adhesives, eco-friendly biodegradable tapes with reduced solvent content, and smart tapes suitable for wearable sensors and health monitors.
