Therafix Underwrap Tape (5cm x 10m)
Therafix Underwrap Tape (5cm x 10m)
Therafix Underwrap Tape (Mettherafix) is a professional-grade, non-woven adhesive tape designed for superior skin protection and secure dressing fixation. This 5cm x 10m roll is an essential component for sports physiotherapists, clinicians, and first aid responders, providing a reliable barrier between the skin and rigid strapping tapes to minimize irritation and allergic reactions.
The tape features a high-quality, hypoallergenic adhesive that ensures long-lasting adhesion even during vigorous physical activity or in moist conditions. Its porous, non-woven fabric allows the skin to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration and enhancing patient comfort during extended wear. Therafix is highly conformable, making it easy to apply around difficult joints like knees, ankles, and elbows without restricting movement.
Common Applications
- Sports Strapping — Used as a protective underwrap beneath rigid athletic tape to prevent skin chafing and adhesive tears.
- Dressing Retention — Ideal for securing large primary dressings, particularly on areas prone to movement.
- Post-Operative Care — Provides a gentle yet secure method for holding surgical pads and dressings in place.
- Sensitive Skin Barrier — Acts as an intermediary layer for patients who experience sensitivity to standard medical adhesives.
Features
- Hypoallergenic Adhesive — Formulated to be gentle on the skin, significantly reducing the risk of irritation.
- High Breathability — The porous non-woven material promotes air circulation and moisture vapor transmission.
- Superior Conformability — Soft and flexible fabric easily follows the contours of the body for a "second-skin" fit.
- Grid-Pattern Backing — Features a printed measurement grid on the release paper for precise cutting and reduced wastage.
- Radiolucent — Does not need to be removed for X-ray examinations, ensuring uninterrupted wound care.
