SpiderTape is considered to be the world's premium kinesiology tape. It is manufactured from Nitto Denko Tape - the original kinesiology tape from Japan. Others have tried unsuccessfully to duplicate the Nitto Denko formula, but none have been able to match its quality, durability and comfort. SpiderTape is made from soft, breathable, high-grade cotton with a 100% acrylic, hypoallergenic adhesive. It contains no latex or medicinal ingredients. The gentle wave pattern allows moisture to flow from the tape, which enables it to adhere to the body through sweating, swimming or showering. Most applications can be worn for up to 5 days. How Does SpiderTape Work? Because SpiderTape has an almost identical thickness and elasticity as human skin, it is completely comfortable to wear. It does not compress, bind or chaffe sensitive areas. The SpiderTape method of kinesiology taping involves applying the tape over and around muscles and joints, rather than encasing them in tape, as traditional athletic taping does. This allows SpiderTape to provide support while still allowing users to maintain a healthy range of motion. This feature is especially appreciated by athletes and injured individuals who need to continue their activities as they recover from an injury. Warning: If you have sensitive skin, you should test a small piece of Kinesiology Tape on the skin first. Should this cause irritation, no more tape should be applied In rare cases, this tape may cause rashes. However, if symptoms such as itching and irritation appear, remove the tape immediately If the dressing is used on stretched muscle or skin, irritations may appear Shower/take a bath as usual and dab off any remaining dampness carefully with a towel Keep out of reach of children Store at 5 to 30 degree C and away from direct sunlight For single use only Application: We recommend that the area of application be hair free Clean and dry the skin thoroughly before application Apply unstretched to pre-extended areas of muscle or skin parts The tape can be stretched before application for special applications as per directions from therapist Remove tape in the direction of hair growth Shower/bathe as usual.
