How to choose the right Joy Crown waterproof surgical tape?
As a Chinese professional waterproof surgical tape manufacturer and supplier, surgical waterproof tape is a medical tape specially designed to maintain stickiness and protect wounds for a long time in humid environments, especially in water. It is usually made of waterproof material PE laminated fabric coated with hot melt adhesive, or made of pure cotton cloth treated with waterproof and then coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive. They can effectively prevent water, sweat, or other liquids from entering the wound or surgical site. Among them, the PE laminated fabric waterproof surgical tape has excellent waterproof performance, but this medical tape is not breathable. Then the pure cotton cloth waterproof medical tape also has a certain waterproof effect, and at the same time has a certain breathability, which is helpful for users to choose and use. No matter which waterproof surgical tape of Joy Crown, both of them have good waterproof performance, strong adhesion, and a wide range of applications. They are often used for postoperative wound care, emergency trauma treatment, and any medical scene that requires waterproof protection.
Our waterproof surgical tape can maintain its stickiness and provide protection when exposed to water, mainly relying on the following key factors:
1. Waterproof coating
The surface of the laminated fabric of Joy Crown waterproof medical tape is usually coated with a special waterproof PE film, which can effectively block water penetration. Or the pure cotton cloth can effectively prevent water intrusion after a certain waterproof treatment. It ensures that even if the tape is exposed to water, it will not easily absorb water, thereby preventing the tape from loosening due to water absorption.
2. Strong adhesive
The adhesive used in surgical tape waterproof is a specially configured pressure-sensitive adhesive with strong water resistance. This pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive can remain sticky in a humid environment and will not lose adhesion even when exposed to water or sweat. This feature is achieved by using water-resistant polymers.
3. Flexibility and fit
The PE laminated fabric or cotton cloth of medical waterproof tape usually has good flexibility and fit. When the surgical waterproof tape fits the curve of the skin tightly, it helps to reduce the chance of water infiltration from the edge and enhance the overall sealing effect of the tape.
4. Waterproof testing and certification
During the production process, our medical tape waterproof usually undergoes rigorous waterproof testing to ensure that it can work effectively under various wet conditions. These tests include immersion tests, steam tests, etc. to verify the waterproof performance and durability of the tape.
Through the above design and process, Joy Crown waterproof surgical tape can still maintain strong adhesion and reliable protection when exposed to water, ensuring that the wound is not affected in a wet environment.
The waterproof performance of our waterproof medical tape is excellent in actual use, especially in various wet environments in daily life, such as bathing, swimming or sweating. The following are the specific performances of its waterproof performance:
a. Underwater Adhesion Retention
Joy Crown surgical waterproof tape can maintain its adhesiveness underwater. This means that even if the tape is completely submerged in water when bathing or swimming, it can still adhere firmly to the skin and will not fall off easily. This performance is due to the water-resistant pressure-sensitive adhesive and waterproof coating used in the tape.
b. Effective Moisture Blocking
Our medical waterproof tape can effectively block moisture and prevent moisture from penetrating through the tape into the wound or surgical incision site. This protective effect is particularly important because moisture entering the wound may cause infection or delay healing. The design of the tape's waterproof coating PE film or cotton cloth waterproof treatment ensures that it can form a strong barrier to protect the wound from moisture.
3. Durability
Joy Crown medical tape waterproof can still maintain its function after long-term underwater exposure. This shows that it can not only prevent short-term water contact, but also continue to work in a wet environment for a longer period of time. This is especially important for areas that need to be frequently exposed to water (such as hands and feet).
4. Breathability in humid environments
Despite its excellent waterproof performance, Joy Crown cotton cloth waterproof surgical tape usually still has a certain degree of breathability. Breathability helps prevent the skin from feeling damp and stuffy when covered for a long time, reducing the risk of infection and skin irritation. This balanced design of breathability and waterproofness allows the tape to keep the skin comfortable and healthy in a humid environment.
Mr. Shen and Mr. He are swimming enthusiasts, and usually make an appointment to swim 3-4 times a week. A few days ago, Mr. He accidentally scratched his calf during hiking. Mr. Shen thought that Mr. He would not be able to go swimming with him this week. Later, Mr. He told Mr. Shen not to worry, and they still went swimming together as scheduled. Because Mr. He used Joy Crown waterproof surgical tape, the wound was bandaged without affecting swimming exercise. Its waterproof tape can generally be used effectively for 1-2 days.
Although surgical waterproof tape performs well in providing waterproof protection, some users may face the risk of skin irritation or allergies during use. Especially when using PE laminated fabric waterproof medical tape, due to its lack of breathability, pressure-sensitive adhesives may cause irritation to sensitive skin when in contact with the skin for a long time. This irritation usually manifests as redness, itching, dryness or a slight burning sensation on the skin. If such allergies occur, we recommend that users use our pure cotton cloth waterproof tape, which has a certain degree of breathability and waterproofness. And before using it on a large area, test the tape on a small area first to observe the skin's reaction. Try to avoid sticking the tape to the same area for a long time, and change and check the skin condition regularly. If discomfort occurs, stop using it immediately.
How to choose the right waterproof surgical tape requires consideration of multiple factors to ensure that it can meet the waterproof needs and adapt to personal skin characteristics and usage scenarios.
1. If you have sensitive skin, choose waterproof surgical tape marked "hypoallergenic" or "suitable for sensitive skin" - Joy Crown cotton cloth surgical tape waterproof, which has a certain breathability, allowing the skin to breathe freely, reducing the risk of skin irritation or allergies, and also has a certain waterproof performance, suitable for bathing or sweating scenes, ensuring that it can remain sticky when exposed to water for a short time.
2. If you need to use our medical waterproof tape in water for a long time, and the user's skin is not prone to allergies, we recommend using our laminated fabric waterproof surgical tape. It is suitable for use in high water pressure environments such as swimming and diving, and can usually maintain stickiness and protection under harsh conditions.
