Unveiling The Medical Uses Of VELCRO®
You may be wondering, how does VELCRO® get used in medical professions? And we’re here to tell you!
Blood Pressure Cuffs & Monitoring Straps
If you’ve ever had your blood pressure taken, you’re probably familiar with the blood pressure cuff that is attached to your arm! This cuff is fastened with velcro, making it quick and easy to apply to patients. Similarly, straps that need to be put on your arms to monitor you in hospital beds and other medical situations also use VELCRO®, so they can be easily removed too.
Patient Immobilisation
For medical situations where patients need to be immobilised, using VELCRO® straps has become extremely useful. These straps are strong, adjustable and keep the patient safe when they are being moved. They are also nice and easy to remove, making them a convenient solution for patient immobilisation.
Orthopaedics & Braces
Braces and other stability devices are worn following an injury or a surgery to help a patient recover. Following injuries and accidents, VELCRO® straps are used to secure the brace and keep it in place. VELCRO® helps the brace to maintain its lightweight feel and be adjusted as needed.
VELCRO® straps have become a huge part of medical care, as they are easy to use, adjust and fasten. They are durable fasteners that prove very useful in the medical field.
Infant Care
Last, but certainly not least, our final example of VELCRO® tape being used in medical situations is in infant care! When positioning infants, securing baby blankets and fitting monitoring sensors, VELCRO® is perfect for leaving babies comfortable and undisturbed. VELCRO® is also a prime choice for baby clothing, as it is convenient to do up/undo, and simple to use when handling an infant!
