Why is Low Elasticity Medical Cloth widely used as a base material for bandages and plasters?

Physical properties and application advantages of low elasticity medical cloth
First of all, from the physical properties, low elasticity medical cloth has a width of 92 cm and a weight of 130±5g/㎡. This wide design allows it to cover a large area of ​​the body when applied, which is very suitable for the needs of bandages and plasters. At the same time, the moderate weight makes this material not too heavy when used, which can provide sufficient support without increasing the patient's discomfort.

Its low elasticity is one of the key factors for the wide application of this material in bandages and plasters. Compared with high elasticity fabrics, low elasticity medical cloth is more stable when providing support and will not lose its fixation effect due to excessive stretching. In scenes such as wound dressing and fracture fixation, maintaining a stable support force is crucial to the treatment effect.

How does low elasticity improve the fixation effect of bandages
Bandages are commonly used tools in medical treatment to protect wounds, control bleeding, fix injured parts, and provide support. Using low elasticity medical cloth as the base material of bandages can significantly improve their fixation effect. First of all, the low elasticity allows the bandage to provide uniform compression during bandaging. Excessive elasticity may cause the bandage to be over-tightened, which in turn affects blood circulation and even causes secondary damage to the wound.

Application of low-elastic medical cloth in plaster
Plaster is a common fixation tool in the treatment of fractures and sprains. It can provide external support for the injured part to ensure that the bones or joints do not shift during healing. The production of plaster depends on high-quality substrates, and low-elastic medical cloth plays a vital role in this application. In the production of plaster, low-elastic medical cloth is used as a lining to provide rigid support while maintaining a certain degree of softness and fit.

Breathability and safety of low-elastic medical cloth
In the use of bandages and plasters, breathability is an important factor that cannot be ignored. Wound healing and skin health require moderate ventilation to avoid infection or skin problems caused by moisture retention.

At the same time, the low elasticity of low-elastic medical cloth makes it safer when fixed. Compared with high-elastic materials, low-elastic fabrics can avoid safety hazards caused by excessive stretching. For example, when bandaging or fixing a fracture, using highly elastic materials may cause poor blood circulation in the affected area due to excessive pressure, while low-elastic fabrics can effectively reduce this risk by evenly distributing pressure.

Applicability and economy of low-elastic medical fabrics
The wide application of low-elastic medical fabrics is not only due to their performance, but also because of their cost-effectiveness. As a cost-effective medical material, low-elastic medical fabrics can reduce the use cost of medical institutions while ensuring quality. Its physical properties make it suitable for large-scale production and can meet the diverse needs of different medical scenarios.
