Description
Optiplaste-E is a particularly well-finished, adhesive short-stretch bandage with exceptional material properties. Optiplaste-E combines excellent functional characteristics with skin-friendly features.
Properties
Optiplaste-E is a lengthwise elastic bandage made entirely from natural fabrics (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 provides durable and strong support and compression, where low resting pressure is combined with high working pressure. The degree of support or relief can also be precisely dosed with Optiplaste-E. The material can be easily molded to the individual body contours. Due to its strong adhesive force and long-lasting elasticity, the bandage does not shift, even after extended periods. The conventional zinc oxide rubber adhesive layer is applied in micro-poreous strips. Thanks to the air zones between the strips, the material is breathable. As a result, Optiplaste-E is skin-friendly and comfortable. Optiplaste-E is easy to roll out and water-repellent. The bandage has a shelf life of 5 years. Since Optiplaste-E does not contain radiation-absorbing components, the bandage does not need to be removed during radiological examinations or radiation therapies. Furthermore, Optiplaste-E can be sterilized.
Applications
- As a durable compression bandage for support and relief
- For caps, muscles, and joints
- As a skin-protective underlayer for tape
- As a corrective bandage for posture correction, for example
- As immobilization after incidents 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.
Optiplast-E is a thicker and heavier tape, making it more suitable as a bandage compared to Optiplast-C. Both types of Optiplast are water-repellent.
