FAQ 

Q1: Is this tape suitable for joint areas with frequent movement?
Yes. The elastic nonwoven backing is specifically designed to accommodate joint movement and reduce skin tension while maintaining dressing stability.

This product offers controlled stretch, making it more suitable for mobile or contoured areas, whereas non-stretch tapes are intended for flat surfaces and static fixation.

Q3: Is the adhesive suitable for sensitive skin?
The acrylic adhesive is formulated for normal to mildly sensitive skin. For fragile or highly sensitive skin, silicone adhesive tapes are generally recommended.

Q4: Can this tape be repositioned during application?
