Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is 50mm rigid tape preferred over 38mm?
A: The 50mm width is preferred for larger body areas where 38mm tape requires too many strips for adequate coverage. Shoulder strapping, AC joint taping, hip pointer strapping and broad thoracic applications benefit from the wider format — fewer strips means faster application and cleaner coverage. For ankle, knee and most other joints, 38mm remains the standard choice.
Q: Is USL MaxX 50mm suitable for elite sport?
A: Yes — USL MaxX rigid tape across all widths is the premium choice used by professional sports physiotherapists and elite sporting teams in New Zealand. The superior adhesion and rigidity provide the reliable, long-lasting strapping performance required in high-intensity elite competition environments.
Q: How many shoulder strapping applications do I get per roll?
A: A 13.7m roll of 50mm tape typically provides 2–4 shoulder strapping applications depending on the technique and layers used. Complex AC joint taping uses more tape than simpler shoulder support techniques. For regular clinic use, the 8-drum bulk pack offers better value.
Q: Do I need to use pre-wrap under 50mm rigid tape?
A: Pre-wrap is strongly recommended under rigid tape — particularly for shoulder strapping where the tape is applied over a large skin area and worn for extended periods. Pre-wrap reduces skin irritation, makes removal more comfortable and allows repeated taping of the same area without skin breakdown. USL Sport Underwrap is available separately from Pakuranga Pharmacy.
