Introduction to Silk Tape


Silk tape is a medical tape made of acetate silk coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is widely used in the medical field because of its soft, breathable and strong adhesion properties. Silk surgical tape has excellent compliance and can easily fit various parts of the body. It is also minimally irritating to the skin, making it particularly suitable for long-term use and sensitive skin. It is a Class I non-sterile medical device. Surgical silk tape is often used to fix medical devices, wound dressings, sports protection, and beauty and skin care.

Usage scenarios and actual cases


In different nursing and medical environments, choosing the right medical tape can not only improve the treatment effect, but also significantly improve the patient's comfort. Joy Crown Silk Tape is widely used in various scenarios due to its unique softness and strong adhesion properties, from medical fixation to sports protection to beauty and skin care, and performs well.

1. Medical fixation: postoperative care and catheter fixation

In postoperative or trauma care, the wound needs to be kept clean and stable for a long time, and the catheter or infusion tube must also be firmly fixed to prevent displacement or slippage.

Operating room nurses at The Oriental Hospital often use Joy Crown surgical silk tape to fix wound dressings and catheters. Their strong adhesion ensures that the dressing can fit the skin firmly when the patient is active, and their softness makes the patient feel almost no discomfort during recovery.

2. Sports protection: joint bandage and injury prevention

In sports training and competition, athletes' joints need extra protection to prevent sports injuries such as strains and sprains.

Zhao Lin is a professional football player who uses our silk Durapore tape for joint bandages during training, especially ankles and knees. The strong adhesive properties of the tape keep it stable even when sweating, while the soft material avoids skin friction and allergies.

3. Sensitive skin care: long-term care and dressing

For patients with sensitive skin or those who need long-term dressing, low-irritation tape is essential.

Grandma Zhang is a patient with bedsores with sensitive skin and needs to use silicone dressings to cover the wound for a long time. After trying a variety of medical tapes to fix silicone dressings, she finally chose our silk medical tape. Its low allergenicity effectively prevents skin allergic reactions, allowing Grandma Zhang to keep the silicone wound dressing stable without affecting healing.

4. Beauty and skin care: mask fixation and skin lifting

In beauty care, the skin needs to be handled gently, especially when fixing the mask or performing a mild skin lift.

Fan Yuan is a beautician at the CHLITINA Beauty Salon. She often uses Joy Crown surgical silk tape to fix the mask and perform skin lifts when performing facial care for her clients. The softness and low irritation of the tape ensures customer comfort during the treatment, and the tape does not pull the skin when removed, avoiding redness, swelling and discomfort.

Comparison between Joy Crown Medical Silk Tape and other tapes


After understanding the unique advantages and practical applications of our silk tape, we will now compare it in depth with other common medical tapes. This comparison will not only help you understand the relative advantages of silk tape, but also help you make a more informed choice based on your actual needs. Below, we will conduct a comprehensive comparison of Joy Crown Silk Tape with non-woven (paper) tape, zinc oxide adhesive plaster (cloth tape) and PE transparent tape in terms of softness, breathability, adhesion and hypoallergenicity.

1. Softness and comfort

Joy Crown Surgical Silk Tape: The silk material gives it excellent softness and can fit a variety of skin types, especially suitable for long-term use and sensitive skin.

Non-woven (paper) tape: Although lightweight, it is often not as soft as silk tape and may cause slight irritation to sensitive skin.

Zinc oxide adhesive plaster (cloth tape): It has better softness, but may become uncomfortable after long-term use, especially when the skin is wet.

2. Breathability

Joy Crown silk tape: Excellent breathability, helps reduce skin eczema and discomfort, and keeps the skin dry.

Transparent medical tape: Poor breathability, may cause skin moisture and discomfort, especially in high humidity environments.

Zinc oxide adhesive tape (cloth tape): Good breathability, but still may not be as effective as silk tape.

3. Adhesion and durability

Joy Crown silk surgical tape: Provides strong adhesion and can maintain stability in motion and wet conditions.

Non-woven (paper) tape: Low adhesion and may lose its effect in wet environments.

Zinc oxide plaster (cloth tape): Good adhesion, but may not be as durable as silk medical tape in extreme environments (such as heavy sweating).

4. Hypoallergenicity

Joy Crown medical silk tape: Low irritation, especially suitable for sensitive skin, reducing the risk of allergies and irritation.


Non-woven (paper) tape: May cause mild allergies in some people, especially when used for a long time.

Zinc oxide tape (cloth tape): Although generally gentle, it may cause some irritation to the skin during adhesion and removal.


Through the above comparison, it can be seen that Joy Crown silk tape has obvious advantages in softness, breathability, adhesion and hypoallergenicity, and is suitable for various medical and nursing needs. Whether it is dealing with sensitive skin or requiring long-term stable fixation, our surgical silk tape is a trustworthy choice.
