Zinc Oxide Tape
Zinc oxide tape is a rigid cotton tape with an adhesive backing, generally white or flesh coloured. It comes in a variety of widths from 1cm to 5cm.
Rigid tape of this type is usually used to provide support and limit range of motion. Often used when ligament damage has caused a weakened structure.
Best results are obtained from applying tape directly to the skin using special techniques.
The application of zinc oxide tape is also used for “proprioceptive taping” to help retrain tendons and muscles following injury.

Elastic Adhesive Bandage
Elastic Adhesive Bandage is a stretchy woven bandage with a adhesive backing used in many athletic taping applications. It will adhere securely to skin or can be used on top of pre tape underwrap.
Usually available in three sizes; 2.5cm, 5cm and 7cm in rolls about 4m long.
Its high strength means it is ideal to secure Zinc Oxide tape applications in order to provide maximum physical support and increase proprioceptive awareness (by giving sensory feedback to the brain that helps prevent the patient ‘going over’ on the injured part).
Rugby Union players use this tape around the thigh to support a player during line out.
