subject: Kinesio Tape Can Prevent Scar [print this page] It is known that a healthy skin exposed to the environment keeps a certain rate of moisture transmission, in such a way that upon the existence of a barrier against said phenomenon, there is an unbalance of this dynamics. The skin begins to show maceration, herein understood as a softening, of ugly and apparently not healthy aspect, which is potentially more vulnerable to environment attacks, caused by moisture retention.
This invention refers to an kinesio tape, understood as an adhesive surface used, for example, to keep bandages in place on the skin or to effect immobilizations in traumatological cases, characterized by being provided with an apparent thickness. Such apparent thickness is made real by way of ondulations, projections or embossings, which ends are in contact with the skin surface, adhered thereto when in use.
the following text, the term "kinesio tape" refers to any adhesive surface or material strap used to keep bandages in the due place, or to keep patients in certain positions over surgical tables, or to effect immobilizations in traumatological cases, etc. Yet in accordance with the foregoing, curative refers to a combination of an kinesio tape with a proper bandage to cover wounds, being generally a pad made of absorbent fibers.
This is an kinesio tapecharacterized for comprising a substratum with apparent thickness, which is made actual through projections, saliences and protuberances over the face of said kinesio tape, which ends are in contact with the body surface, adhered to the skin when in use.
