New rayon fabric kinesio tape with better stretch tension and material thickness than cotton kinesio tape. The fabric has a slight reflective property that radiates body heat back to the body, so you feel the area is many times warmer than with regular cotton tape. The acrylic adhesive of the tape comes from Germany and is extremely high-quality and skin-friendly.
They are made of a silky smooth, shiny fabric that lasts even longer on the skin thanks to its unique structure! It is extremely comfortable to wear and the tape will not split. It is also perfect for extreme conditions, with high humidity and low temperatures, during exercise, in the shower and in the pool.

Commands and recommendations
- When starting taping, it is important that the area to be taped is clean and free of hair.
- The muscle on which the tape is placed should be placed in a stretched position. If you don't know how to stretch a part of your body, you can write to us, we'll be happy to help!
- It is recommended to cut the ends of the tape round, so the tape stays on longer.
- Since the stretchability of Medpoint kinesiote tape is up to 180%, the tape can be placed slightly stretched (in most cases 25%) This achieves the required effect - creases/folds on the skin. You can also follow the rule that the more mobile/flexible the joint, the less you should stretch it (knees, shoulders), but there are also exceptions!! While in the case of the lower back, the CENTRAL area of the tape can be stretched up to 80%.
- The ends of the tape (3-5cm) must ALWAYS be installed with zero tension, i.e. as the tape runs off the paper.
- When installing, it is recommended not to touch the tape adhesive with your fingers.
- VERY IMPORTANT! When the tape is applied to the skin, it must be rubbed to activate the adhesive. We do not recommend using your fingers to rub, but use the same paper that you removed from the back of the tape. Place the smoother surface of the paper against the tape and rub the length of the tape in a quick back and forth motion (you should feel a strong heat under your fingers) until the glue is activated. In addition, you can also use a hair dryer ????
- It is not recommended to apply the tape immediately before physical activity. If the tape adhesive is not completely dry, it may start to come off. The best time to install is after training and washing. Clean, dry and warm skin is the best place to apply kinesio tape and in this case we guarantee that the tape will stay on for several days!
