Many people have received fluid transfusions, and going to the hospital for infusion is a common treatment method. Nurses skillfully perform skin tests and infusions for us, but no one pays attention to the small piece of tape attached to our hands. In order to prevent the infusion tube from falling off and causing the needle to pass, we need to use tape to fix it on our arms.

Medical tape requires good breathability because it comes into direct contact with the skin, so many breathable holes are made. Ordinary tape hardly comes into direct contact with the skin and is used to pack other packages or boxes, so breathability is almost not considered.

The medical requirements are quite special, they cannot be too sticky or not too sticky. They need to have a certain degree of stickiness to stick to the infusion tube and skin, but the peeling should not cause pain, so it is more difficult to control the stickiness than ordinary tape.

As long as the regular tape is sticky enough, there is no problem.

The smell of ordinary tape is very strong, and there is a pungent odor when you don’t need to get close, which is also related to its stickiness. Medical tape is completely non-existent because it is very sensitive to odors due to the special nature of the crowd, making it safer and odorless.

In the medical industry, everything, regardless of size, is the result of continuous improvement. Small medical tapes have so many requirements, and ordinary tapes do not need to be as precise as medical tapes according to their own needs. This is to adapt to the industry and maximize their own value.
