Frequently Asked Questions
What is zinc oxide tape used for?
Zinc oxide tape is used for rigid joint strapping - restricting the movement of sprained or injured joints to prevent further damage during activity. Common applications include ankle strapping, finger buddy-taping, wrist support, and thumb spica wrapping. It is also used for firm dressing fixation where standard microporous tape provides insufficient hold.
Should I apply underwrap before zinc oxide tape?
Underwrap is recommended for hairy skin and sensitive areas to prevent discomfort during tape removal. For maximum adhesion in competitive sport, some therapists tape directly to skin at anchor points. Apply pre-tape spray to improve adhesion on both skin and underwrap surfaces.
