Kinesiology Tape - Urgo

URGO Kinesiology Tape is an adhesive elastic tape that dynamically supports the muscle and accompanies movement without limiting joint mobility.

This tape is breathable and water-resistant for long-lasting hold for up to 3 days. It is suitable for anyone over 16 years old who may engage in physical activity or exertion (sports, standing or sitting work, manual labor, moving, etc.).

Urgo Kinesiology Tape comes with an instruction leaflet with step-by-step application techniques for 6 areas. Application videos are also available by scanning the QR code on the tape box.

Areas covered: knee (kneecap), ankle (Achilles tendon), shoulder (subacromial impingement), elbow (epicondylitis or tennis elbow), neck (trapezius), lower back.

The application illustrations are for guidance only; do not hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if in doubt.

Before use:

• Clean and dry the skin. Ensure that your skin has not been treated with greasy creams or lotions and is not particularly hairy. Adhesion is reduced in cases of heavy hair growth.
• Use a pair of scissors that has been cleaned and disinfected before cutting the tapes. Cut the corners of the tape before application to round the ends, which allows for a better hold.

Application:

• Do not hesitate to ask a friend or family member for help applying the tapes.
• The tape cannot be repositioned once applied.
• It is not necessary to remove the tape when you shower.
• Only remove part of the backing paper to stick the tape, then remove the rest. If the sticky part of the tape is touched, it will no longer stick.
• Apply gently to avoid discomfort or tightness. Do not apply too much tension and do not apply in a circular manner to avoid a tourniquet effect.
• Smooth the tapes carefully during application to prevent creases from forming.
