Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is 7.5cm EAB preferred over 5cm or 2.5cm?
A: The 7.5cm width is most useful for strapping large muscle groups and joints including the shoulder, hip, thigh (quadriceps/hamstrings) and thoracic spine, where narrower tape would require many more strips to achieve adequate coverage. For ankle and knee strapping, 5cm is the most commonly used width. For fingers and thumbs, 2.5cm is most appropriate.
Q: Can 7.5cm EAB be used as a compression bandage?
A: EAB provides mild compression when applied with appropriate tension, making it suitable for mild compression wrapping of larger areas during sport. For therapeutic graduated compression (e.g. lymphoedema or deep vein thrombosis prevention), a purpose-made compression bandage is required. Ask our pharmacy team about appropriate compression products.
Q: How do I store sports tape to prevent it drying out?
A: Store EAB and rigid tape rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep unused rolls in their sealed packaging until needed. Avoid storing in hot environments such as car glove compartments or boot, as heat can degrade the adhesive. A first aid kit or sports bag in a temperature-stable environment is ideal.
Q: Can USL Sport Lite EAB be used on bare skin?
A: Yes — EAB can be applied directly to clean, dry skin or over an underwrap. When applying to bare skin, remove carefully to minimise skin trauma. For people with sensitive or fragile skin, applying pre-wrap first protects the skin and makes removal more comfortable. Ask our pharmacist for pre-wrap products compatible with EAB.
