Also known as surgical tape, medical tape comes in a variety of types and can be used for a variety of medical applications including cloth, paper, waterproof, microporous and pressure sensitive adhesive.

Typically, medical tapes are permeable, which allows air to penetrate the tape and reach your skin. Breathable medical tapes such as sports medicine tapes or cloth tapes are usually made of cotton or polyester. Medical paper tape is usually white because it contains zinc oxide. Zinc oxide helps prevent infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, often called staph infections. In addition, medical paper tape is microporous, meaning that the holes in the material are microscopic but can still breathe.

Some people may have sensitive skin and can have allergic reactions to certain medical tapes. However, Vitality Medical offers hypoallergenic medical tapes which will completely avoid the possibility of you having an allergic reaction. We also offer elastic, foam, silk and waterproof tapes to meet all your medical taping needs.

Medical tape is often used to secure needles and catheters during infusions and other activities.

The most common use of medical tape is to secure auxiliary dressings. Choose a tape with a strong enough adhesive to hold the dressing properly, but not so strong that it sensitises the skin.

Medical tape can also be used for other activities to protect the body from injury.

To summarise:

Firstly, for an analysis of the industry structure, the medical tape industry is fragmented. A variety of manufacturers, from large multinational companies to small private companies, compete in this industry. The top six manufacturers account for less than 40% of the market share. Regionally, the US is the largest producer of medical tape and the largest producer of the industry as a whole. Europe and China also produce significant amounts of medical tape each year.

Secondly, in terms of production, global production of medical tapes had reached 6,888 M Sq.m by the end of 2017, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4.43% over the past few years. Capacity expansion in developed regions has been modest, while production development regions like China have seen slightly higher capacity expansion.
