Elastic Kinesio Tape Makes You Feel More Comfortable

One specific application that this kinesio tape appears to be highly suited for is as a kinesio tape used to secure ostomy pouches to the skin. Ostomies are located on the abdomen, and therefore, require a kinesio tape that will both conform to the abdominal contours and move (or stretch) with the skin as the skin moves. Further, the kinesio tape used on ostomy pouches must be fastened to the pouch film in some manner, often by heat sealing the film and kinesio tape layers together. The kinesio tape in first aid kit of the present invention can be directly sealed to typical ostomy pouch films and do not require an additional layer to form a seal to the pouch. The present kinesio tape constructions can be sterilized by gamma irradiation, with no loss to or only minimal effect on kinesio tape properties. This feature is a highly desirable attribute of medical kinesio tape and specifically kinesio tape used to secure ostomy pouches to the peristomal region immediately after surgery.
