In the process of medical care for children, infusion is a common and necessary treatment measure. However, for many children, the process of removing the tape after the infusion is often a "small disaster". Traditional medical tape often leaves residue when it is removed and even hurts the delicate skin, making children fear and resist infusion. In order to solve this problem, we conducted a zero-residue experiment with silicone gel tape, aiming to bring children a more gentle and painless infusion experience.
Before the experiment began, we carefully selected several common medical tapes on the market and a silicone gel tape for comparison. Silicone gel tape is widely used in wound dressings, scar repair, and other fields due to its unique material and viscosity. It is well received for its easy removal and no residual adhesive. We decided to introduce it into the children's infusion scenario to verify its effect in actual use.
The experimental subjects were selected from several children who were receiving infusion therapy. Their ages, skin types, and infusion sites were different to ensure the universality and accuracy of the experimental results. During the infusion process, we used traditional medical tape and silicone gel tape for fixation. The medical staff carefully observed and recorded the use of each tape, including stickiness, breathability, and the children's acceptance of the tape.
After the infusion, it was time to remove the tape. As expected, the traditional medical tape left obvious residual adhesive when it was removed, and some children even had slight redness, swelling, and pain in their skin. However, the silicone gel tape performed completely differently. It was easily torn off the skin without leaving any residue, and the children also looked very relaxed, without showing any discomfort.
We also conducted continuous skin observations on silicone gel tape and found that it did not cause any skin irritation during use, had excellent air permeability, and did not affect blood circulation at the infusion site. This finding gave us confidence in the use of silicone gel tape in children's infusion.
Through this experiment, we realized the great potential of silicone gel tape in children's medical care. It not only solves the problem of residue left when traditional medical tape is torn off but also alleviates the pain and fear of children, making the infusion process more gentle and humane. We believe that with the widespread application of silicone gel tape, children's infusion will no longer be a process that children are afraid of but will become a part of their brave victory over the disease.
