{"product_id":"kinesio-tex-gold-fp-elastic-therapeutic-tape","title":"Kinesio Tex Gold FP Elastic Therapeutic Tape, Water Resistant, Latex-Free","description":"\u003cp\u003eKinesio Tex Gold FP is Kinesio's elastic therapeutic tape, the kinesiology tape (often called KT tape) developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase. Its wave pattern carries Kinesio's patented Fingerprint (FP) technology, which gives focused Nano Touch stimulation to the epidermis and superficial layers of the skin, much like a gentle human touch, and the tape targets the epidermis, dermis and fascia. Micro-Grip deep set adhesive, applied during manufacturing, gives improved grip and hold with less adhesive surface on the skin, and you can readjust the tape without it losing its stickiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tape is made of the highest grade cotton for improved breathability, with a protected weave for comfort. It is hypoallergenic, latex free and water resistant, and it is made for multiple day wear. Kinesio recommends Gold FP for EDF taping applications for pain management and edema, applied at a light 0 to 25% tension for optimal results. Each roll is uncut and 16.4 ft (5 m) long, so you cut it to suit any taping application, and a standard roll gives 5 to 6 applications. Gold FP comes in two widths and four colors and is made in the USA. Authentic Kinesio tape carries the Kinesio logo and \"The Original Kinesio Tape\" on its packaging, and its backing paper always says KINESIO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard rigid athletic tape, which is thick, does not stretch and is used to hold a joint still, kinesiology tape is thin and stretchy and goes directly over a joint, so it does not limit movement and athletes can wear it while they practice and compete. It may give extra support to joints and muscles and some temporary relief of sore joints, though research has yet to show any lasting benefit, and it is best used as one of the treatments a provider recommends rather than alone. Commonly taped areas include the Achilles tendon, ankle, upper or lower back, knee, neck, shoulder and the sole of the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave pattern with patented Fingerprint (FP) technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNano Touch stimulation to the epidermis and superficial layers of the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTargets the epidermis, dermis and fascia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-Grip deep set adhesive for improved grip and hold with less adhesive surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReadjusts without losing its stickiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighest grade cotton with improved breathability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtected weave for improved comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple day wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied at 0 to 25% tension for optimal results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended for EDF taping applications for pain management and edema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncut 16.4 ft (5 m) roll, cut to suit any taping application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 to 6 applications per standard roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo widths and four colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatex free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKinesio Tex Gold FP Elastic Therapeutic Tape, Water Resistant, Latex-Free Chart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold Unit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGKT15014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 in (2.5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack of 2 rolls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGKT15024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 in (5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGKT25024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 in (5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGKT35024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 in (5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGKT45024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 in (5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle roll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply Kinesio Tex Gold FP Tape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kinesio Taping Association International highly recommends consulting a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner (CKTP) or Instructor (CKTI) before applying Kinesio Tex tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssistance is recommended to apply applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure the skin is clean, dry and free of any oil or lotions, removing any excess oils, lotions, sweat and dirt before applying the tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElongate (stretch) the target area before applying the tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse care when applying tension to the tape: for optimal results apply between 0 and 25% tension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRub the tape to activate the adhesive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait 35 to 45 minutes before vigorous activity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is normal for wrinkles (convolutions) to appear in the tape when it is on the skin and the muscles are relaxed.
