Relitape Fabric Elastic Tape, Pink
A pink elastic fabric tape measuring 2.5 cm by 4.5 metres, used to hold dressings in place and give light support around joints that still need to move.
5 metres long. Because it is elastic rather than rigid, it is generally chosen where a dressing or padding needs to be held securely in place over a joint or a curved part of the body that still has to bend and move, unlike a stiff paper tape that is better suited to full immobilisation. Fabric elastic tapes of this type are commonly used by first aiders, sports therapists and nursing staff to secure gauze pads, retain padding after minor procedures, and give light compressive support around fingers, wrists, ankles and other flexible joints.
The fabric backing is more forgiving on movement than plastic or paper tapes and tends to conform well to the shape of the limb it is applied to. As a single roll product, it is easy to keep in a first aid kit, treatment trolley or sports bag for quick use whenever a flexible, self adhesive tape is needed.
