miro-pretape

Purpose / intended use

Thin, elastic and breathable foam bandage for skin protection and as padding material, for use on intact skin

Description

The ultra-thin, open-pored PU foam bandage is ideal as a skin-friendly underlay for tape bandages, sports bandages and medical fixations. Thanks to its high flexibility, it fits every body contour without wrinkles and ensures comfortable wear without restricting mobility. The open-pored structure ensures excellent air and moisture permeability, reliably preventing heat build-up and skin irritation. Thanks to its soft, supple surface, the bandage effectively protects the skin from friction and pressure points - both in sports use and in physiotherapeutic or clinical applications. It can be easily torn lengthwise and crosswise, quickly applied and removed without leaving any residue. This makes the bandage a versatile, comfortable and practical aid for all situations in which the skin must be protected and a secure hold ensured at the same time.
