USL Sport Lite E.A.B (Elastic Adhesive Bandage) is a high-quality hand-tearable elastic sports strapping tape offering excellent stretch properties and conformability for sports taping applications.

The 2.5cm width is ideal for fingers, thumbs and smaller joints. Black colour. Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between EAB tape and rigid tape?
A: Rigid (zinc oxide) tape does not stretch and provides firm immobilisation for joint support. EAB (Elastic Adhesive Bandage) tape has stretch properties that allow movement while still providing support and compression. EAB is often used as an outer layer over rigid tape to secure the strapping and add mild compression, or on its own for areas where some flexibility is needed.
Q: Can USL Sport Lite EAB be used directly on skin?
A: Yes — EAB tape can be applied directly to skin or over pre-wrap. When applying directly to skin, ensure the area is clean and dry. For people with sensitive skin, applying an under-wrap first can reduce the risk of tape reactions. Do not apply too tightly as this can restrict circulation.
Q: How do I tear USL Sport Lite EAB by hand?
A: Grip the tape firmly on both sides of where you want to tear, then pull in opposite directions with a quick snapping motion. The elastic properties of EAB allow clean hand tearing without scissors. With practice, hand tearing becomes fast and efficient for sports taping applications.
Q: What width EAB tape is best for ankle strapping?
A: For ankle strapping, a 5cm EAB is most commonly used as the outer securing layer over rigid tape. The 2.5cm width is better suited for fingers, thumbs, and smaller joints. USL Sport EAB is available in multiple widths — ask our pharmacy team about the range available for your specific strapping needs.
