Leukotape K, elastic adhesive bandage

Elastic tape made of cotton and Lycra with a sinusoidal adhesive surface—full range of motion is maintained.

Description

Leukotape K is an elastic tape whose material properties are modeled after those of the skin. It consists of 97% cotton and 3% Lycra with an acrylate adhesive. Unlike rigid tape, it does not restrict mobility—it can be applied from head to toe and moves with the body.

The adhesive surface is not continuous but features sinusoidal cutouts. This allows air to circulate under the tape, enabling it to be worn for longer periods. For an optimal fit, the tape should be applied by a doctor or therapist.

Key Features

• 97% cotton, 3% Lycra, with acrylate adhesive
• elastic—full range of motion is maintained
• Sine-wave cutouts in the adhesive surface for air circulation
• Material properties adapted to the skin’s characteristics
• Can be used on the entire body
• Not made with natural rubber latex
• Widths of 2.5 cm and 5 cm, 5 m in length
• Available in skin tones as well as blue, light blue, pink, red, and black

Applications

• Elastic tape wraps for competitive sports and everyday use
• Applications where mobility must be maintained
• Wear time: a few days up to nine days, provided the replacement intervals are observed
• Application by a doctor or therapist is recommended

Summary

Leukotape K works with movement rather than against it. The breathable adhesive surface allows for wear times of several days—and in sports, the color selection has long been more than just decoration; it makes it easier to distinguish between different taping applications.
