subject: Kinesio Tape For The Back [print this page] The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive kinesio tape or sheet for the medical treatment (i.e., medical pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet; sometimes referred to as "adhesive tape or sheet for medical treatment" or "medical adhesive tape or sheet" in the present specification), and a first aid adhesive tape. More specifically, it relates to a kinesio tape or sheet for the medical treatment, and a first aid adhesive tape to be applied in the field of an attaching material for the medical use, in particular, for a roller bandage, a surgical tape, an adhesive plaster, a poultice medicine, a dressing material, an injury protecting agent, a percutaneous absorbing agent, or the like, particularly suitable for the use of those susceptible for stimulus in the skin, such as the elderly people, infants, and sickly people.
In view of the problems of the technique of the related art, the present invention has been achieved, and an object thereof is to provide a kinesio tape (or a sheet) for the medical treatment and a first aid kinesio tape suitable for attaching on a bending part by using a supporting base material having appropriate flexibility and stress relaxation property as well as a good feeling as a substitute for a polyvinyl chloride film for a supporting base material.
Accordingly, the contradicting natures of the operativity at the time of attachment and the skin stimulus cannot be satisfied sufficiently merely by using a conventional dechlorinated vinyl based resin as it is as the film for a supporting base material of a kinesio tape (sheet) for the medical treatment.
