It's The Best Choice For Your Injury
The present invention provides a medical kinesio tape comprising a highly conformable and deformable nonwoven web coated with an adhesive
. The non-adhesive side of the web may be heat bonded to many different polymeric film materials and is particularly useful with ostomy pouch films. The present invention also provides ostomy bags comprising an elastic, breathable nonwoven based medical tape.The invention relates to a medical kinesio tape comprising a highly conformable and deformable nonwoven web coated with an adhesive. The tape is heat bondable to a variety of polymer substrates and has particular utility when used, for example, in the construction of ostomy appliances. The invention also relates to conformable or stretchable nonwoven webs useful as backings for medical tapes and the methods for their production.
In one embodiment, the present invention relates to ostomy appliances and in particular to medical kinesio tapes used to attach an ostomy appliance to a body. An ostomy appliance is a device used to collect waste material that exits a person's body through a stoma. The term "stoma" refers to the surgically created hole in the skin and the attached end of the bladder, conduit, or intestine. The stoma provides an open conduit through which a constant or intermittent efflux of waste material occurs. The surrounding skin area is termed the "peristomal area." A great challenge exists to comfortably and reliably connect an ostomy appliance to the peristomal area.
Currently, kinesio tape used for securing medical devices such as an ostomy pouch to a patient are formed from generally non-elastic nonwoven webs or plastic films or webs which cannot be directly heat bonded to the ostomy appliance. Plastic films are often used where protection of the underlying skin from moisture, urine or fecal material is critical. Unfortunately, the most common plastic films used for this application are essentially impermeable to moisture vapor, and do not allow the skin to "breathe."
