Tears easily in clean straight lines, cross–wise and length–wise without fraying edges.
Provides excellent protection and rigidity once applied.
Breathable, making it gentle on the skin and reducing the risk of maceration.
Can be written on, easy to trim–to–size, sticks well to itself and easy to use with gloves on.
Always ensure skin is clean and dry before applying tapes, clip hair on the tape adhesion skin area if necessary.
Consider using a stretchable tape if there is a risk of swelling.
Do not encircle an entire limb with tape, subsequent swelling may affect circulation. Replace or reposition tape if swelling, oedema or loss of tension in dressing occurs.
Always select a breathable tape where repeated taping is required, or the skin is fragile, this will help to reduce trauma/damage to the skin.
Intended uses: light strapping (e.g immobilising fingers and toes) & securing dressings.
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
