Tips and precautions for using Rayon Rigid Strapping Tape

Rayon rigid strapping tape is a common auxiliary tool in medical and sports fields, which can provide effective support for injured parts. However, in order to fully utilize its effectiveness, users need to master the correct usage skills and pay attention to some details in use.

Usage tips

Prepare the skin
Before applying rayon rigid strapping tape, make sure the skin is dry, clean, and free of oil or sweat residue. Wet skin will affect the adhesion of the tape, resulting in a weakened fixation effect. If there is hair on the skin, you can consider shaving it appropriately to reduce the pulling of the skin when tearing off the tape.

Precise bandaging
When using rayon rigid strapping tape, you should choose the appropriate wrapping method and strength according to the needs of the injured part. Avoid wrapping too tightly to avoid affecting blood circulation and causing numbness or discomfort. At the same time, avoid being too loose, which will reduce the support of the tape.

Layered application
Where stronger support is required, multiple layers of tape can be used for fixation. When applying in layers, compact each layer to avoid bubbles or wrinkles to ensure that each layer fits tightly to the skin and provides adequate support.

Use a pad
In sensitive areas or when using rayon rigid strapping tape for a long time, consider placing a layer of padding between the skin and the tape to reduce friction and damage to the skin. This practice is very important for long-term bandaging and can effectively prevent discomfort caused by direct contact between the tape and the skin.

Precautions

Avoid overstretching
The low elasticity of Rayon rigid strapping tape means that it does not need to be overstretched when used. Pulling too tight will not only affect the blood flow of the skin, but may also cause unnecessary compression injuries. When using it, just maintain moderate tightness.

Avoid long-term use
Although rayon rigid strapping tape has good adhesion and durability, it is not suitable for long-term continuous use. The skin condition under the tape should be checked regularly to avoid skin redness, allergies and other problems caused by long-term contact with the tape. If possible, replace the tape every few hours or a day.

Correct removal
When removing the rayon rigid strapping tape, do not tear it violently to avoid skin damage. You can use warm water or a special adhesive remover to gently soften the tape, and then tear it off slowly to reduce skin irritation.
