Its lightweight properties make this black tape ideal in situations where the wearer doesn't want a bulky strapping. It is commonly used by professional soccer players to tape their ankles as it allows them to still wear a soccer boot and doesn't interfere with their game. Because it has elastic properties it is also ideal for use as a compression wrap. If the injured part swells then the wrap 'gives' due to its elastic nature.
When can I use it? In the acute stage (first 24-72 hours) following any sports injury: - Ankle sprain prevention and rehabilitation - Wrist sprains - Knee ligament injuries
Sizes - 5cm x 6.9m (2" x 7½yards).- 7.5cm x 6.9m (2" x 7½yards).
How does it work? This latex-free black tape will adhere securely to skin or can be used on top of M-Wrap foam underwrap (also available in our PhysioRoom Store). Its high quality manufacture means it comes off the roll smoothly and conforms to the body part that is being taped. It can be used to secure a tape job in order to provide physical support and increase proprioceptive awareness (giving sensory feedback to the brain that helps prevent the patient 'going over' on the injured part).
