Those who have used bandages must know that cotton bandages have a better feel and are also very helpful for wound healing. In fact, it’s not just bandages, medical tape is also the same.

&Nbsp;

When it comes to medical tape, most people believe that cotton based tape is better. The functionality of medical tape is mainly reflected in the adhesion of the tape surface. Whether the stickiness of the skin is appropriate should have appropriate, rather than stronger stickiness. Why is this? The general reasons are as follows:

&Nbsp;

1、 The medical tape made of cotton fabric substrate contains cotton fibers, which have good moisture absorption. Under normal circumstances, the fibers can absorb moisture into the surrounding atmosphere, with a moisture content of 8-10%. Therefore, when it comes into contact with human skin, it makes people feel soft and not stiff.

&Nbsp;

2、 If the humidity of cotton fabric increases and the surrounding temperature is higher, the water content in the fibers will evaporate and dissipate completely, keeping the fabric in a water balance state.

&Nbsp;

3、 Cotton fibers have a strong resistance to alkali, and they do not undergo damage in alkaline solutions.

&Nbsp;

4、 Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, mainly composed of cellulose, which has no irritation or side effects when in contact with the skin.

&Nbsp;

In summary, the reason why medical tape made of cotton fabric substrate is loved by so many people is probably due to the advantages mentioned above.
