EnglishMulti-Color Athletic Cotton Strapping Tape
Main uses:
1. Joint fixation and support: Ankle fixation: Prevent and deal with ankle sprains, common in sports like basketball, volleyball, football, and badminton that require frequent running, jumping, and changing directions.
Wrist/finger fixation: Used in sports like boxing, basketball, and volleyball to protect the wrist and finger joints from being poked or overextended.
Elbow/knee auxiliary fixation: Provides additional stability for conditions like tendinitis.
2. Ligament and muscle protection: By using specific wrapping techniques, it can reduce the load on ligaments, tendons, and muscles, providing extra protection for weak areas.
3. Sports rehabilitation: In physical therapy, sports therapists often use it to help patients stabilize injured joints and perform rehabilitation training within a reasonable range.
4. Other uses: Sometimes used to fix bandages, gauze, and other dressings.
Usage method:
1. Skin preparation: Ensure the skin is clean, dry, and free of oil. For areas with a lot of hair, it's recommended to shave to avoid pain when removing and to maintain adhesion. You can apply a skin membrane underwrap (base membrane for sports bandages) to protect the skin.
2. Anchor point fixation: Wrap around the corresponding area once to create a starting point (anchor point).
3. Implement wrapping: Use specific wrapping techniques (such as horseshoe wrap, heel lock wrap for ankles) based on the desired fixation or support purpose. Overlap the tapes by about half their width.
4. Finish wrapping: End with another anchor point to ensure the tape is secure.
5. Check: After wrapping, check the tightness to ensure it doesn't affect blood circulation and that joint movement is restricted within the expected range.
