When applying the anchors to the middle of the foot, spread the toes apart to simulate load bearing on the foot.
Elastic bandages are commonly used to treat muscle sprains and strains by reducing the flow of blood to a particular area by the application of even stable pressure which can restrict swelling at the place of injury. Elastic bandages are also used to treat bone fractures.
Shaving the area - for best results, wet-shaving the skin 12 hours before or using an electric razor just prior.
Cleaning the area by using a tape remover to remove the body oil.
Covering any rashes or broken skin with a non-stick wound pad such as Elastoplast Soft Feel Compress.
Applying an underwrap to the area, (optional). An underwrap, such as Elastoplast Sport Adhesive Underwrap will help protect tape-sensitive skin.
Pre-wrap is designed to help protect skin from other medical supplies, such as tape and bandages, that may cause chafing or inflammation. It goes on before athletic tape to protect the area being bandaged. Pre-wrap can also be used to hold equipment or clothing in place.
