Description
Optiplaste-E is a particularly well-finished, adhesive short-stretch bandage with unique material properties. Optiplaste-E combines excellent functional qualities with skin-friendly characteristics.
Properties
Optiplaste-E is a longitudinally stretchable bandage that consists entirely of natural fibers (85% cotton and 15% viscose). The maximum stretch of the material is 60% (a so-called short stretch). Thanks to the woven chain threads, Optiplaste-E offers durable and strong support and compression, providing low resting pressure combined with high working pressure. With Optiplaste-E, the degree of support or relief can also be accurately dosed. The material conforms very well to individual body contours. Due to its strong adhesive power and long-lasting elasticity, the bandage does not shift, even after extended use. The conventional zinc oxide rubber adhesive layer is applied in micro-pore strips. Thanks to the air zones between the strips, the material is breathable. This makes Optiplaste-E skin-friendly and comfortable. Optiplaste-E is easy to unwind and water-repellent. The bandage has a shelf life of 5 years. Because Optiplaste-E does not contain radiation-absorbing components, it does not need to be removed during radiological examinations or radiation therapies. Moreover, Optiplaste-E can be sterilized.
Applications
- As a durable compression bandage for support and relief
- For wraps, muscles, and joints
- As a skin-protecting underlayer for tape
- As a corrective bandage for posture correction
- For immobilization after conditions such as ankle sprains, collarbone dislocations, and after the removal of plaster casts.
- As sports tape for the treatment and preventive taping of joints, ligaments, and muscles.
Optiplaste-E is a thicker and heavier tape, making it more suitable as a bandage than Optiplaste-C. Both types of Optiplaste are water-repellent.
