Is Surgical Silk Tape toxic or harmful to the body?

Surgical Silk Tape is made from a base material of natural wood pulp, zinc oxide, rosin, grease, vegetable oil, petroleum jelly, and other natural materials, and is sterilized by pressure steam and ethylene oxide sterilization methods. Hypoallergenic Silk Tape is a Class I medical device and is certified with a medical code on the outer packaging, which is highly authoritative.

Is Surgical Silk Tape suitable for all fixations and bandages?

Surgical Silk Tape is not suitable for all types of fixation and bandaging, but it can be used on a case-by-case basis if you need to fix various catheters (nasogastric tubes, chest drains, urinary catheters, etc.) and the catheter cannot be moved freely. If the arm fracture is fixed in a plaster cast, it is generally more advantageous to use gauze wrapping, which is easy to adjust the tightness and increases the patient's comfort.

How can Surgical Silk Tape be removed without pain?

Generally speaking, Medical Cloth Silk Adhesive Tape is painful no matter how it is torn off, but you can use a cotton swab with baby oil or lotion to reduce the adhesive force and thus relieve the pain. The specific method of operation is as follows: first, dip a cotton swab in some baby oil, you need to gently wipe the part of the tape that is in contact with the skin, and then the tape will be torn off, it is usually very easy to fall off, and the fall-off is relatively clean, there is no trace, but also to reduce pain. The main reason for this is that the tape itself has many small holes, and the main purpose of applying baby oil is to create a gap between the skin and the tape, which can reduce the adhesive force by a lot, thus relieving the pain. Secondly, you can use a cotton swab to wipe the emollient onto the Durapore Silk Cloth Hypoallergenic Tape. Once the emollient has soaked through the tape, it can be easily removed and the pain can be relieved. As the emollient soaks into the tape, the adhesive strength of the adhesive in the middle is reduced, so you can tell that using the emollient before tearing the Surgical Silk Tape will reduce the pain. Thirdly, before removing Surgical Silk Tape, you should apply a hot towel to the area where the tape is to be applied. The same principle as baby oil will create a space between the skin and the tape, which will reduce the adhesive force and reduce pain.
