METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MEDICAL TAPE

Abstract

There is provided a method for manufacturing a medical tape that retains an effective shrink force specialized for each condition of a diseased area and is easy to use and wear, in order to persistently reduce a physiologic tension acting on the diseased area and its surrounding tissues, keep the state of the diseased area and its surrounding tissues in rest, and expedite natural healing. This medical tape includes an elastic base member portion having stretchability for covering a wound and a skin around the wound, an adhesion portion having a function of sticking and holding the elastic base member portion on the skin, a release portion having a function of protecting the adhesion portion, and a non-stretchable effective shrink force holding portion having flexibility and restorability, in which the effective shrink force holding portion, the elastic base member portion, the adhesion portion, and the release portion are provided in this order. The elastic base member portion internally has both a shrink force having occurred due to forming shrinkage of a solution polymer that later forms the elastic base member portion and a shrink force generated by stretching an upper base part of the elastic base member portion.
