Sports tape (METTAPE)
The highest grade tape available, combines excellent adhesion
and maximum tensile strength to provide ultimate support to joints
under stress. Cerated edge for easy hand tearing.
Elastic adhesive bandage (EAB)(METEAB)

Coban tape
A self-adherent elastic wrap that functions like a tape, but
sticks only to itself. Coban self-adherent wrap is a laminate of
nonwoven material and elastic fibres placed lengthwise to provide
elasticity.
Fixomull stretch underwrap (BDF2036)
Fixomull is an aggressive adhering hypoallergenic underwrap.
Features:
- Porous - allowing for the evaporation of perspiration
- Polyacrylate adhesive mass - very well tolerated by the skin
and alleviates skin trauma when taping regularly with Leukotape
P
Foam underwrap (LP658)
Flexible, porous underwrap foam, use before applying athletic
tape. Helps reduce skin friction or irritation caused by taping or
wrapping.
Dynamic tape (DYNA5CMDL)
Dynamic Taping™ is a novel approach that uses a specially
designed, highly elastic tape to contribute energy into the kinetic
chain. Developed by a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, it is not
designed to limit range like rigid tapes but rather to permit full
range whilst still providing strong support where needed. The
unique properties and four way stretch permit taping in a way not
previously possible with rigid tapes, non wovens or Kinesio
Tapes.
The result is a tape that can contribute elastic potential
energy to assist or resist, facilitate or inhibit and offload or
deload soft tissues in addition to the normal proprioceptive,
neurophysiological and circulatory effects of conventional
tapes.
The tape is extremely soft to touch and highly conformable.
The adhesive has been independently tested and rated as non
irritating, non sensitizing and non toxic. It is also applied in
thin strips to enhance the skins ability to breathe. The material
is breathable and allows water through to the skin but can be
patted dry in seconds.
All this combines to produce a well
tolerated, long lasting tape that is quite possibly the most
comfortable athletic tape on the
market.
