What is the main function of this bandage?
The bandage provides neuromuscular and proprioceptive support, facilitating stability and muscle function during movement without limiting joint range of motion.

How long can it be worn?
Adhesion usually lasts between 3 and 5 days depending on skin type, perspiration and friction; it is normal for the fixation to decrease with time and activity.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin or those with latex allergies?
Yes, the composition is 100% cotton and the adhesive is hypoallergenic and latex-free; it is recommended to perform a test on a small area if there is a history of skin reactions.

Is it reusable?
No. The bandage is designed for single, prolonged use; adhesion loses effectiveness after removal.

Does it protect against bacteria, viruses, or fungi?
No. It has no antimicrobial or disinfectant action; it does not replace hygiene products, mouthwashes, or deodorants intended for personal hygiene.

Can it be used on open wounds?
It is not recommended to apply to broken skin, open wounds or acute dermatitis; in these cases a health professional should be consulted.

Does it have health certification?
The available information does not include a specific certification; it is advisable to check the technical data sheet or the manufacturer's labeling for details on applicable regulations.

1. Cut the tape to the required length with clean scissors. If necessary, round the ends to reduce peeling due to friction.
2. Prepare the skin: clean and dry the area; remove excess hair if it interferes with adhesion.
3. Position the anchors without tension (first and last 1–2 cm). Apply the central section with the percentage tension indicated by the desired technique (usually between 10–50%), avoiding maximum stretch in the anchors.
4. Gently rub the applied tape to activate the adhesive through friction and skin temperature.
5. Keep the bandage in place for several days as tolerated; avoid prolonged exposure to very hot water that may soften the adhesive.
6. Remove with gentle pulling in the direction of hair growth; if removal is uncomfortable, use oil or emollient to facilitate separation.

- Perform a prior skin test on people with a history of allergies or atopic skin.
- Do not apply to open wounds, dermatitis, skin infections or areas with unevaluated edema.
- Avoid prolonged use if persistent redness, intense itching or blisters occur; discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
- Caution in patients with circulatory problems, diabetic neuropathy or a history of thrombosis; its use should be evaluated by a specialist.
- Do not use as a substitute for immobilization when there is a structural injury (fracture, severe instability).
- When removing, avoid very hot water that activates the adhesive and increases discomfort.
- Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct light to preserve adhesiveness.
