What is the difference between low elasticity medical cloth and traditional medical cloth?

In the medical industry, fabric, as an important medical material, plays an indispensable role. With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous innovation of material technology, new low elasticity medical cloth have gradually attracted attention and been widely used in the medical field. Compared with traditional medical cloths, low elasticity medical cloths have obvious differences in material characteristics, application range and performance.
First of all, there are differences in material composition between low elasticity medical cloth and traditional medical cloth. Traditional medical cloth usually uses natural fibers such as cotton yarn and yarn or blended fibers as raw materials, which have strong softness and water absorption. Low elasticity medical cloths often use synthetic fiber materials, such as polyester fiber, nylon, etc., and a certain proportion of elastic fibers to make them have better stretchability and elasticity, making them more suitable for materials that require bandaging, fixation, etc. 
Secondly, there are differences in the scope of application. Traditional medical cloth is widely used in dressings, bandages, operating room linens, etc. It is mainly used to fix wounds and absorb secretions. Due to its excellent elasticity and breathability, low elasticity medical cloth has wider applications in surgical fixation, medical uniforms, nursing pads, etc., and can meet the needs of different medical environments and usage scenarios.
Third, there are also some differences in performance between low elasticity medical cloth and traditional medical cloth. Low-elastic medical cloth has good elasticity and ductility, which can better fit the patient's body curve and improve the patient's comfort and wearing experience. At the same time, due to the use of synthetic fiber materials, low elasticity medical cloth has good wear resistance and durability, can withstand multiple cleanings and disinfections without damage, and has a long service life.
Finally, there are some differences when it comes to price. Since low elasticity medical cloth uses more advanced materials and processes, its manufacturing cost is usually slightly higher than that of traditional medical cloth. But considering its performance advantages and wider application range, low elasticity medical cloth may be more cost-effective in long-term use.
There are obvious differences between low elasticity medical cloth and traditional medical cloth in terms of material composition, application range, performance and price. When selecting medical fabrics, it is necessary to comprehensively consider its characteristics and advantages and disadvantages based on actual needs and usage scenarios to ensure that the most suitable material is selected to better meet the needs of medical work and protect the health and safety of patients.
