Fixation Tape is most commonly used for 2 purposes:

1. Securing bandages, dressings and pads to the skin.
2. Providing a base layer to improve the adhesion of ZINC OXIDE TAPE applications.

You should use Fixation Tape anytime you are applying ZINC OXIDE TAPE to an area where there is a lot of joint movement. Fix Tape acts as a protective barrier between your skin and the aggressive glue used on strapping tapes. It’s very porous, so allows your skin to breathe and your applications to be less affected by sweat.

Fixation Tape is designed to last the duration of a strapping application – whether that’s an 80-minute game, or a few hours hiking. It will most likely be removed along with any Zinc Oxide Tape that is stuck over the top.

Although both tapes are designed protect the skin prior to taping, which one you choose will depend on the area that you’re taping, whether any glue is allowed to touch the skin and whether you have time to cut strips of Fixation Tape.
UNDERWRAP is primarily used to protect your skin from the potential irritation of wearing adhesive tapes (i.e. Zinc Oxide & EAB). Acting as a thin barrier, Underwrap is applied before overlaying with strapping tape.
It’s also highly effective against tape chafing and alternatively, can be used to secure cold packs and bandages in place during use. It’s made from a lightweight foam that is porous, water-repellent and really easy to use.
Fix Tape is rigid and can’t be ripped by hand, so you’ll need a pair of scissors to cut your strips. Because it’s adhesive there’s no need to wrap an entire joint and you can use smaller strips as anchors to help Zinc Oxide Tape stay in place more effectively.

Fixation Tape is not waterproof. However it is highly porous, meaning that it will survive a heavy down pour during a match but they can not be used for water sports or any time where the tape will be submerged in water.

The worst that can happen if that you create an uncomfortable application. You are unlikely to causes and circulatory issues when only applying Fixation Tape.
