Underwraps / Cohesive / Other

Underwrap is a thin, soft layer that goes on the skin before rigid strapping tape, so the tape’s adhesive does not sit directly on the skin. Multifit’s underwraps, cohesive bandage and foam tapes help trainers protect the skin, cushion pressure points and finish a strapping neatly.

Which one should I choose?

• To protect the skin under rigid tape, choose LiteWrap or EasyFix. EasyFix has hypoallergenic glue to reduce skin irritation, so it suits sensitive skin.
• To hold a dressing or add light compression without glue, choose FlexRip.
• To pad areas that rub or blister, choose Pro Foam Tape.

Underwrap and rigid tape

Many trainers put underwrap on before rigid strapping tape, especially for athletes who are taped often or have sensitive skin. If skin irritation is a concern, our hypoallergenic Sports Tape is another option. Finish a strapping with elastic adhesive bandage, and keep Lister bandage scissors in the bag for cutting tape and removing it afterwards.
