How Surgical Tape Is Used To Heal Wounds |
Surgical tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, designed to hold a dressing or bandage to a wound.
There are many different types of surgical tapes, made of different materials, some treated with various medicines and ointments.
Among the materials used to construct surgical tape are medical grade paper, cloth, foam, and nylon.
