What is zinc oxide tape used for?

Zinc oxide tape is a rigid adhesive tape used to strap and support joints, immobilise sprains, prevent and protect blisters, and hold dressings or splints securely in place. It is widely used in sports, physiotherapy and first aid.

What width of zinc oxide tape do I need?

Narrow 1.25cm tape suits fingers and small joints, 2.5cm is a versatile all-round width for wrists and ankles, and 5cm is best for larger joints and broader strapping. We stock all three widths on 10m rolls.

Is zinc oxide tape hypoallergenic?

Yes. Our zinc oxide tape uses a hypoallergenic adhesive that is suitable for most skin types, providing a strong, secure hold while remaining comfortable to wear and easy to remove.

Is zinc oxide tape the same as kinesiology tape?

No. Zinc oxide tape is rigid and non-elastic, designed to restrict movement and support joints. Kinesiology tape is stretchy and designed to move with the body. Choose zinc oxide tape when you need firm immobilisation or dressing retention.
