The
HypaBand EAB Tape provides flexible support for weak, injured or recovering joints and muscles, making it ideal for use during sporting activities. This large tape is suitable for heavy-duty compression and covering larger areas of the body, such as the thigh, providing greater coverage than smaller tapes.
Individually wrapped for convenience, these bandages are easy to use and offer excellent value. The tape can be unwound and cut to the required length for quick and effective application.
HypaBand tapes use a skin-friendly zinc oxide adhesive, making them safe and comfortable to apply directly to the skin. They provide secure support for several hours and are flexible enough for use on challenging areas such as ankles, knees, wrists and hands.
Key Benefits
Strong support for joints and muscles – provides firm yet flexible support for weak, injured or recovering joints and muscles and is commonly used in sports for areas such as ankles, knees, wrists and hands.
Effective compression for injury management – suitable for compression therapy, helping to reduce swelling and support recovery.
Flexible and conforms to the body – made from elastic material that stretches and moves with the body, allowing it to conform easily to awkward or high-movement areas.
Skin-friendly adhesive – uses a zinc oxide adhesive that can be applied directly to the skin and provides comfortable, secure wear for several hours.
Quick and easy to apply – can be cut to the required length for convenient application.
Versatile, multi-purpose use – suitable for supporting injuries, securing dressings and helping to reduce the risk of injury during sport. Commonly used in sports and physiotherapy environments.
Provides controlled movement – unlike rigid strapping tape, EAB tape allows partial mobility while still supporting the joint.
Anchoring base for additional taping – can be used as a base layer for other strapping or support tapes, making it particularly useful in physiotherapy settings.
Customisable support level – support and compression can be adjusted by varying the tightness and overlap of each wrap.
Comfortable under clothing – the low-profile design makes it easy to wear beneath socks, sleeves and sports clothing.
How to Use
1. Ensure both the first aider’s hands and the injured area are clean and dry.
2. Position the joint in a neutral position so it can function normally while supported.
3. Apply the first wrap without stretching the tape, usually above or below the joint.
4. Wrap the tape around the area, overlapping each layer by approximately half its width. Apply a light to moderate stretch without restricting movement by pulling the tape too tightly.
5. Add additional layers over the injured muscle or weak joint as required.
6. Finish with a final non-stretch layer and press the tape down firmly to secure it.
7. Check circulation regularly. There should be no tingling, numbness, throbbing or colour change. Recheck after a few minutes to ensure the tape is not too tight.
