1. Material and structure: non-woven is a kind of non-woven material, which is formed by chemical fiber staple fiber or filament through weaving or bonding. It is soft, breathable, absorbent, not easy to pilling, not easy to wear and so on. Fabric-based type is a fabric as a substrate, the sterile dressing will be cut into the shape of the fabric and then pasted on the fabric bit molding.

2. Breathability and water absorption: non-woven fabric is more breathable and absorbent, while the breathability and water absorption of cloth-based type is relatively poor. This means that non-woven bandages are more suitable for people with shallow wounds and sensitive skin, while cloth-based bandages are more suitable for wounds that require more immobilization and protection.

3. Comfort and durability: non-woven band-aids are more comfortable to use and do not feel too stuffy, while cloth-based band-aids are relatively better in terms of durability.

You can choose the right type of band-aid according to your needs and the condition of your wound. When using, it is recommended to follow the instructions on the package for proper application and replacement, and pay attention to observe the condition of the wound.
