Medical Tapes and Bandages Market : Competitive Strategies And Forecasts to 2026

A medical adhesive tape can be defined as a product used to affix an external component, such as a dressing on a wound, catheter, electrode, ostomy pouch, or patch on the skin, at a particular site. Bandages are a piece of material that have the function of providing support to the dressing placed onto a particular part or to restrict the movement of a particular part in order to reduce swelling or pain. Medical tapes and bandages have a certain degree of stretch that allows adjustments to the movement and shape of skin of a particular area. When a medical tape or an adhesive bandage is removed from the skin of a particular area, the superficial corneum are removed. If this is repeated on the same site, it may lead to exogenous damage to the skin. It may lead to inflammation, oedema, or soreness and can cause adverse effects on the skin-barrier of the body functions.

Medical tapes are pressure sensitive and hypoallergenic adhesive tapes that are easy to remove without harming or damaging the skin. Hypoallergenic tapes are meant for infants and elderly people. They are microporous, which allows the air to reach the skin. Most medical tapes are white in color because of their content of zinc oxide, which helps prevent infections. Zinc oxide is used in strapping tapes or sports tapes. It is used to prevent sports injuries and soft tissue tears and to protect wounds. Zinc oxide tapes remain intact even if worn for a longer period, which controls moisture. Medical tapes and bandages are available in many varieties in terms of style, size, width, and lengths according to users’ requirements and skin sensitivity. The tapes offer waterproof qualities when the application area is clean and dry. They do not remove or harm hair on the skin during removal, nor do they stick to hairy areas.

According to the U.S. FDA, adhesive bandages or medical adhesive tapes are devices used for medical purposes. They are usually made up of strips of fabric. Some tapes can be coated with plastic on one side and adhesive on the other. The tapes are required to cover and protect wounds, secure the skin edges of a wound, attach an object to the skin, and to support an injured part.

Increase in the number of surgeries and rise in the number of surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, ulcers, sports injuries, burn injuries, and all other types of injuries are anticipated to drive the usage of medical tapes and bandages in the coming years. However, lack of awareness among patients regarding wound infections is estimated to restrain the market. Nevertheless, rise in the incidence of wound infections, better clinical outcomes due to the use of tapes and bandages, and an increase in research and development activities are expected to present attractive opportunities to the market in the coming years.
