Elastoplast Elastic Adhesive Knee Bandage

What is Elastoplast Sport Elastic Adhesive Tape (8 or 10 cm) used for?

Elastoplast Sport Elastic Adhesive Tape (8 or 10 cm) is made of a woven cotton backing and contains no natural latex. Its longitudinal elasticity ensures it adapts perfectly to movement. The tape is breathable, allowing the skin to breathe.
Thanks to its protective film, the tape can be peeled off gradually to make it easier to apply to joints or muscles.

Elastoplast Sport elastic adhesive tape helps prevent, protect, or treat injuries to the muscles of the lower limbs (thighs, knees, calves, and ankles). Choose between 8 and 10 cm in width for customized support. You can also order narrower elastic adhesive tapes (3 or 6 cm) from our online pharmacy for joint conditions in the upper limbs (hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder).

Indications:

• Sports: to limit joint movement or prevent potential injuries during athletic activities. Can also be used for joint or muscle support after surgery to facilitate a return to sports. The tape can be used to create flexible supports and strapping.
• Securing splints and compresses for dressings.

Specializing in injury prevention and care, Elastoplast Sport has designed this adhesive tape to better protect muscles during recovery. Made of crystallizing polyester-polyurethane, it is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin. It is flexible, easy to use, and does not peel off easily. It promotes faster wound healing. Elastoplast Sport’s adhesive tape helps immobilize the injured limb and accelerates healing without obstructing blood vessels. Its effectiveness has been proven; it helps combat swelling. During sports activities, this product helps protect limbs from sudden, awkward movements and reduces the risk of muscle tears.

We also offer Phytosun Aroms Joints & Muscles Heating Patches at the best price in our online pharmacy.

How should you use Elastoplast adhesive elastic bands?

After cleaning and drying the area to be bandaged, cut the strip to the desired length before applying it. You can also peel off the protective film as you apply it before cutting it to size.

Thanks to its unique properties, ELASTOPLAST provides excellent support in:

• Sports Medicine: Flexible adhesive supports for joint and ligament conditions (ankle sprains, toe dislocations, tendinitis of the knee joint, thigh or calf muscle strains) and muscle compression (muscle strains and tears in the legs)
• Angiophlebology: Elasto-compression treatment for venous return disorders (edema, varicose veins, ulcers, etc.) and the fabrication of phlebological stockings—securing dressings on the lower limbs (thighs, knees, calves, and ankles).
• Therapeutic effect: stimulates healing and circulation.
• Preventive action: protects against painful or dangerous movements while allowing for athletic activity. Helps reduce the risk of recurrence during recovery from an injury.
• Maintains the athlete’s stability and sensory feedback during physical activity.

Here are some tips for using Elastoplast 8- or 10-cm adhesive elastic tapes to support the joints of the lower limbs (thigh, knee, calf, and ankle) in cases of joint problems:

• Preparing the skin: Make sure the area to be taped is clean, dry, and free of cream or oil. This will ensure better adhesion of the tape to the skin.
• Cutting the tape: Cut the Elastoplast tape to the desired length to cover and support the affected joint. Leave enough tape to secure it properly to the skin.
• Thigh: To support the thigh, start by wrapping the tape around the upper thigh, applying light tension. Then, wrap the tape diagonally down the thigh, leaving a gap between each wrap. Make sure the tape adheres firmly to the skin for optimal support.
• Knee: To support the knee, bend the leg slightly and begin wrapping the tape below the knee. Next, cross the tape over the knee to form an “X,” maintaining moderate tension to ensure comfortable support. Continue wrapping around the upper calf, taking care not to wrap too tightly.
• Calf: To support the calf, wrap the tape around the lower part of the leg, just above the ankle. Then, gradually wrap diagonally upward toward the top of the calf, maintaining light tension. Make sure the band adheres well to the skin and adjust the tension as needed.
• Ankle: To support the ankle, start by wrapping the band around the top of the foot, leaving the toes free. Next, wrap the tape around the ankle in a figure-8 pattern to provide optimal support. Maintain moderate tension to ensure comfortable support and good range of motion.
• Securing the Tape: Make sure the adhesive tape is securely attached to the skin and check its fit regularly. If the tape comes loose or you feel any discomfort, readjust it as needed.

Advice from our orthopedic pharmacist

Treating traumatic, joint, tendon, and arthritic pain

The management of traumatic, joint, tendon, and arthritic pain (bruises, blows, impacts, strains, sprains, tendinitis, dislocations, arthritis) is carried out in 3 steps:

1. Cryotherapy 3 times a day using theInstant Cold Sprayor themicrobead cold pack(apply for 15 to 20 minutes)
2. Relieve pain and inflammation with theanalgesic massage gel; apply by massaging gently without rubbing it in.
3. Support and immobilize using aknee brace, wrist brace, etc.

These conditions are characterized bypain, swelling, bruising, and inflammation.

Cold therapy, applied as soon as possible after an injury, produces a vasoconstrictive effect that inhibits pain (analgesic), reduces fluid buildup (anti-inflammatory), reduces swelling (anti-edematous), and minimizes bleeding (antihemorrhagic).

Treating Muscle Pain and Osteoarthritis

The management of muscle pain and osteoarthritis (back pain, low back pain, osteoarthritis, muscle spasms, muscle soreness) involves three steps:

1. Apply heat using heating patches or amicrobead heat pack(apply for 15 to 20 minutes)
2. Relieve pain and promote relaxation and recovery with thenaturally analgesic gel; apply by massaging gently without rubbing it in.
3. Provide support using alumbar support belt, a neck brace, ora soft cervical collar.

These conditions are characterized bypain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

Heat therapy improves mobility, reduces pain (analgesic effect), promotes muscle relaxation, and reduces muscle spasms and soreness.
