Abstract:
A precut kinesiology tape for wrist support includes a strip of woven material having a first face and an opposed second face, a length and a width that is shorter than the length, and a length stretch ratio along the length and a width stretch ratio along the width. The width stretch ratio is greater than the length stretch ratio. An adhesive is on the first face in a discontinuous pattern.
Abstract:
A facial mask comprising a flexible body of woven material comprising an inner surface and an opposed outer surface; an adhesive on the inner surface; and a backing material releasably attached to the inner surface, the backing material having a first portion and at least one second portion, wherein the at least one second portion is removable to expose the adhesive for engagement on a user's face.
Abstract:
A method for supporting a body part comprises a) removing a first release liner portion from an adhesive side of an anchor portion of a precut piece of kinesiology tape; b) adhering the adhesive side of the anchor portion to a generally flat surface of the body part; c) removing a second release liner portion from an adhesive side of a finger portion of the precut piece of kinesiology tape, while retaining a finger reinforcement layer on a non-adhesive side of the finger portion; d) after step c), adhering the adhesive side of the finger portion to the generally flat surface, so that the precut piece of kinesiology tape lies generally flat on the generally flat surface; and e) after step d), removing the finger reinforcement layer from the non-adhesive side of the finger portion.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a tape, and related kits and methods, which is usable for scar care (e.g. for hypertrophic, keloid, or other scars). The tape may be used to treat, prevent, or inhibit scar pain, itching, and/or discomfort, and/or to improve or hasten scar healing, and/or to decrease scar height and redness, and/or to improve quality of life. The tape is highly stretchable along its width, but minimally stretchable or non-stretchable along its length. In use, the tape is placed over the scar, so that the length of the tape is aligned with the length of the scar, and stretched widthwise across the scar to pull the opposed sides of the scar towards each other.
Abstract:
A tape for attaching objects to a subject includes a strip of high stretch woven material having a first face and an opposed second face. A first adhesive is on the first face in a discontinuous pattern. A second adhesive is on the second face.
Abstract:
A wound care tape includes a sterile high-stretch strip of woven material having a first face and an opposed second face. A sterile adhesive is on the first face in a discontinuous pattern, whereby a set of spaced apart adhesive-covered portions of the first face are covered by the adhesive, and a set of spaced apart adhesive-free portions of the first face are free of the adhesive.
Abstract:
The invention provides an adhesive support article for supporting a body part of a user. A single-sided stretchable adhesive tape blank is precut into a sheet having a central anchoring portion and a plurality of outwardly extending fingers. The sheet is marked with visual indicators to guide the user of the support article for applying the central anchoring portion onto a first exterior surface of the body part and for stretching the fingers before adhering them at a predetermined distance away from the central anchoring portion. The adhesive support article can also be provided in a support system with at least one corresponding body landmark article, providing further guidance for applying the support article to the desired body part.
