What is a bandage tape?

The

bandadades, also referred to as surgical or medical tape, is the type of first aid offer used to ensure a bandage or bandage through the wound. There are many varieties of retaining tape, but some common features are that it is usually elastic, has built -in adhesive and is made of breathable material. Once the bandage is placed over the wound, the medical tape must be packed over the wound in a way that prevents the bandage or tape from moving as possible. In some cases, it is possible to dress the wound at home, while some wounds are so serious that a healthcare professional in the office or emergency room of the hospital should wear a wound. Once the wound is properly cleaned and dressed, for example with gauze or zone aids, it is time to apply a bandage tape. This is done simply wrapped repeatedly the tape around the bandage until the bandage is safe. For example, a stomach wound will require a greater length of surgical tape than a wound on the forearm because they must be several timeswrapped around the patient's waist.

As soon as it is packed, the tape can be cut with scissors and sometimes can be easily detached, depending on the brand and type, or even may come in preliminary lengths. The built -in adhesive in the bandage tape allows it to be easy to hold.
