SportTape Zinc Oxide Tape - 2.5cm x 10m

It's used for athletic support, joint stabilization, blister prevention, and protection against friction, particularly on fingers, thumbs, wrists, and heels.

While made of cotton, the strong adhesive can sometimes cause irritation. It is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin first.

Gently peel the tape back slowly on itself, holding the skin taut. If resistance is met, you can use a skin-friendly adhesive remover or a small amount of baby oil to help loosen the adhesive.

The tape is designed for extended wear during physical activity. However, for continuous therapeutic use, consult with a healthcare professional about appropriate application times and potential skin care needs.

It means the tape can be easily ripped by hand along its width without needing scissors, making application quick and convenient.

This Zinc Oxide tape is rigid and non-stretch, providing strong, stable support. Elasticated tape offers more flexibility and compression.

The 2.5cm width is ideal for strapping individual fingers or thumbs, common in martial arts and weightlifting. For larger areas, a wider tape might be more appropriate.

Ensure the skin is completely clean, dry, and free of lotions or sweat. Reapply with firm pressure.

Remove the tape immediately. Clean the area gently. Consider using a protective underwrap or trying a different tape material if irritation persists. Perform a patch test before full application.

Ensure you are tearing across the width of the tape. For stubborn tears, a quick edge against a hard surface might help, or use scissors if necessary for a clean cut.

Use an adhesive remover designed for skin or carefully wipe with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid prolonged soaking of the skin.
