There are various types of adhesive tapes that can be used to fix and prevent detachment. But adhesive tape is a foreign object to the human skin, and prolonged contact, friction, and stimulation can cause various skin reactions. Improper selection or use can cause skin damage and other issues for patients.
Due to the unique characteristics of certain parts of the body, it is difficult to fix wound dressings. Although bandages or elastic nets can be used for external fixation, the wound dressings are often prone to detachment due to patients' restlessness or activity, which increases the patient's costs and nursing hours;
In addition, patients are afraid to roll over or move out of bed due to concerns about the detachment of wound dressings, which may affect the recovery of the wound; Especially when using new dressings to treat wounds, the unit price of the new dressings is relatively high. If the wound dressings do not fall off, leak, or contaminate, they can be replaced every 5-7 days. This can maintain a constant temperature and humidity of the wound, allow the wound to heal, and shorten the healing time. Frequent replacement not only fails to achieve good recovery results, but also increases the economic burden on patients.
Therefore, how to choose appropriate adhesive tape and use it correctly to avoid skin damage, as well as how to apply wound dressings to special areas, so that the wound dressings are securely and firmly applied, which is not only convenient for patients to move but also comfortable, and beneficial for wound healing, are worth studying.

Why is seaweed fiber medical dressing so good for wounds
The seaweed fiber dressing also has hemostatic properties, because the dressing releases Ca2+in contact with wound exudate, which can accelerate the formation of prothrombin activators and accelerate the blood coagulation process. Gelatinization: After the alginate dressing absorbs the wound exudate, it forms a stable mesh gel on the surface of the wound to avoid wound immersion and create a microenvironment conducive to tissue growth for the wound. Accelerate wound healing: A slightly acidic, anaerobic or hypoxic, moderately moist wound environment accelerates the release of growth factors, stimulates cell proliferation, improves the ability of epidermal cells to regrow and move, and accelerates wound healing.
