Medical Tapes and Bandages Market Comprehensive Review of its Applications Growth Opportunities, Demand and Future Prospects
Medical Tapes are used as a medicine and first aid to hold a bandage
or other dressing onto a wound. These tapes are designed to hold firmly to
skin, dressing materials, and underlying layers of the skin (due to the
presence of adhesive), without damaging the skin, and allow air to pass through
them and reach the skin. Some breathable tapes such as Kinesiology Tape, and
other elastic bandages with adhesives, are made of cotton. Surgical tape is
often white because it contains zinc oxide, which is added to prevent
infections. The global medical tapes and medical bandages market, is expected
to grow in the forecast period due to increasing number of surgeries and growth
in aging population. Medical bandages are generally used to support a medical
device such as dressing or splint or to restrict the movement of any part of
the body. Some of the other medical tapes used include micropore paper tape,
trans-pore polyethylene tape and zinc oxide tape.
Based on application, the medical tapes and bandages market is
segmented into surgical wound treatment, traumatic wound treatment, ulcer
treatment, sports injury treatment, burn injury treatment, and treatment of
other injury and wounds. The ulcer treatment segment is expected to grow at the
fastest rate during the forecast period, due to the rising number of patients
with ulcers, which is an after effect of growing diabetic population.
Based on end user the market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory
surgery centers, clinics and home care settings. Hospitals accounted for the
major share of the medical tapes and bandages market, in 2016, due to a large
number of surgical procedures performed.
