BSN Medical BEI076168 Leukotape P Sports Tape, 1 1/2 Inch x 15 Yard

Product Information

Leukotape can be used to support and stabilise sports injuries, as well as stabilising and protecting weak muscles, joints or ligaments, without restricting movement or circulation. Make sure you understand exactly what your workplace needs and that you have the necessary first aid kits and equipment to provide effective first aid wherever you are. I work at a hospital and I use the label sheets that we use to have people sign in on. I noticed my Dr and Dentist both use similar sign in sheets. If you have a local Dr or Dentist, maybe you could stop in and ask if they would save a few for you? Thanks, Marcin. What is the diff between the two Leuko tapes? BTW, this is not for a weeklong hike through the wilderness, just a few miles a day while on vacay in shoes I don’t normally hike in. Ensure there are no gaps or creases between the tape and your skin, and never fully encircle your foot as it may restrict blood flow.

Leukotape When Hiking and Backpacking 6 Ways to Use Leukotape When Hiking and Backpacking

Maintain the tape’s full adhesiveness, which is compromised when it is touched or when it is re-rolled into smaller rolls; and, If you feel like you recognise some of the below plasters, you probably do – they used to be known as Coverplast. They are the same professional quality, just a new name. With over 100 years of experience providing premium-quality wound care solutions, Leukoplast (previously Coverplast) is the go-to brand for premium plasters, dressings and tapes. Pioneering from the very beginning, Coverplast invented the world’s first self-adhesive plaster tape in 1901, using zinc oxide and natural rubber. They have since continued to innovate and lead in their field and now provide a full range of wound care solutions for use both by medical professionals and for self-treatment at home. Affordable. With the ability to last for several days, leukotape can save time and cost. Found at most drug stores. Though sources differ on whether you should apply it directly to your skin, I’ve never witnessed a hiker in the wild do anything other than slice a piece off and slap it on. Be aware that Leukotape is made with a natural rubber latex that may cause a reaction for those with sensitive skin or who have an allergy. Clean the wound and dry the area gently with a clean towel. Do not use antiseptic to clean the wound, as this could delay healing. Instead, clean it under drinking-quality tap water.Leukotape K is similar to Kinesio Tape (or KT Tape) in that it stretches. It's great for athletes who need to maintain range of motion, but that stretch doesn't necessarily help prevent foot blisters. It's also .5 inches wider than Leukotape P, making it a little more difficult to place comfortably on your feet.

Leukotape Blister Prevention Tape for Running and Hiking Leukotape Blister Prevention Tape for Running and Hiking

You’ll first need to drain the blister (be sure to first sanitize the needle or safety pin you’re using to do this with alcohol). Then clean the blistered area with water and mild biodegradable soap (remembering LNT, and keeping your suds well away from water sources). Next, apply antibiotic ointment and cover the affected area with a Band-Aid or gauze. Finally, secure your bandage system in place with Leukotape, which will also prevent further rubbing as you proceed down the trail and act as a barrier against infection. If you do have a bubbly blister, you will need to drain and treat it. Otherwise, your hot spot needs some sort of barrier to prevent the friction from worsening. Hikers use a variety of methods to act as a barrier - duct tape, moleskin and leukotape are the most common. Holding the plaster by the protective strips, place the wound pad so that it fits over the wound and then peel the protective strips off entirely. Press down the edges of the plaster to secure it. Make sure you have stopped the bleeding before applying the plaster. You can do this by applying pressure to the area, using a clean, dry and absorbent material. shoppingListJS = new ShoppingListJS({storeId: '11352',catalogId: '28501',langId: '-1'}, {id: '1121254', name: 'Boots Zinc Oxide Plaster Tape 2.5cm x 8m', image: '', type: 'ItemBean', components: {}, skus: []}, {}, "shoppingListJS");

If you don’t discover the high-friction rubbing point (on your foot or elsewhere) until after a bubbly blister has developed, a different protocol is required. From a field-friendly strip of Leukotape, I cut a custom patch for a hot spot that a group member was getting on their heel. First, let’s clarify what a “hot spot” is, versus a “bubbly blister”. A hot spot is the beginning of an oncoming blister at the initial sign of friction. Think of it as Phase 1 in the blister formation process. A bubbly blister is Phase 2, once the hot spot has fully formed into a mature blister. Each phase requires different management. Tearable. The bandage is dirt and water repellent with a high tensile strength, yet easy to tear by hand either lengthwise or crosswise for convenience, with no need to have scissors on hand. If you want to cover your whole foot, bend your foot pointing upwards and start at the base of the heel working your way up to just before your toes with overlapping strips. Add smaller strips for your toes then add a long strip from the inside of your foot to the outer side.
