How should Rigid Tape be stored?
Rigid Tape should be stored in a cool, dry environment, with temperatures not exceeding 30°C. This prevents activation of the adhesive, ensuring optimal performance when applied.
Is Rigid Tape suitable for everyone?
Rigid Tape is generally suitable for most people; however, it should not be used by those who are allergic to Zinc Oxide Adhesive and Latex. It is also contraindicated for those with open wounds, infections, or fragile skin prone to damage, as improper use could lead to irritation. As it is designed to restrict movement, it may not be suitable for those who require flexibility of their joints. We recommend consulting with a Healthcare practioner prior to using.
