WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
WHY WEAR EAB TAPE

LIGHT SUPPORT
EAB is the go-to tape for moderate support. It's often used in combination with Zinc Oxide Tapes to provide added comfort and protection.

FAST PROTECTION
Quick, simple and effective. TEAR EAB can be applied quickly, making it the first choice for pitch-side patch-ups and extra protection.

ADDED COMFORT
EAB is very versatile and easy to use. The stretchy fabric can be manipulated around joints making it a good choice for securing strappings.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EAB AND TEAR EAB?
The difference is far greater than the names would suggest. Both are elasticated adhesive bandages that adhere to the skin but that’s where the similarity ends.
EAB:
- Is more robust. It uses a thicker cotton and has a far higher tensile strength, meaning it can only be cut with a scissors.
- It has a feathered edge (for added comfort) and a central line to help reduce overlapping.
TEAR EAB:
- As the name would suggest it is hand tearable.
- It is lighter weight and has a “crinkled” texture which helps aid multiple layers.
- Is more versatile and the most popular tape for rugby.
WHAT SIZE TEAR EAB SHOULD I USE?
Our Tear EAB come in 3 widths; 2.5CM / 5CM / 7.5CM
- 2.5CM – Use to protect ears, fingers and smaller joints.
- 5CM – Ideal for ankle, wrist and knee taping. Also used for thumb taping and the hook-grip in weightlifting.
- 7.5CM – Knees and shoulder taping. Securing lifting blocks for rugby.
And 2 lengths; 4.5M and 6.9M
- 4.5M - For smaller joints and athletes.
- 6.9M - For larger joints and athletes.
IS ELASTIC ADHESIVE BANDAGE WATERPROOF?
Tear EAB is is water resistant, meaning that it will survive a heavy down pour during a match but they can not be used for water sports.
WHAT SIZE TEAR EAB SHOULD I USE FOR THUMB TAPING?
The No 1 choice for thumb taping is TEAR EAB 5CM. Just wrap it quickly around your thumbs and tear.
SHOULD I SHAVE BEFORE APPLYING Tear EAB?
Shaving before applying is not necessary. The level of adhesion combined with adequate pressure will hold the EAB in place.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I APPLY Tear EAB INCORRECTLY?
Due to the compressive nature of the tape, if applied incorrectly you can inhibit blood flow. Therefore we would always recommend that you check circulation post application and during activity.
