Breathable Heavy EAB Tape for Rugby & Football Strapping – Bulk Buy

Dominate the Field with Professional Sports Strapping

In the high-impact world of contact sports, equipment failure is not an option. At MediTapes, we have engineered our Heavy Elastic Adhesive Bandage (EAB) specifically to withstand the grueling demands of the pitch. Whether it is a muddy rugby scrum or a high-speed football match, our tape provides the ultimate balance of rigid stability and dynamic movement.

Designed for team physiotherapists, sports medicine professionals, and club procurement managers, this is the definitive Rugby strapping tape solution. We offer bulk purchasing options to ensure your medical bag is always stocked for the season.

Why Our Breathable Heavy EAB is the Pro’s Choice

Standard tapes often peel off under sweat or fail to provide adequate tension. MediTapes solves these issues with advanced manufacturing techniques focusing on breathability and sheer strength.

1. Advanced Porous Adhesive Technology

The standout feature of our product is its unique coating. We utilize a porous EAB construction technique where the adhesive is applied in a pattern that creates microscopic airways. This transforms the product into a fully breathable adhesive bandage.

  • Benefits: It allows sweat and moisture to evaporate rather than getting trapped against the skin. This significantly reduces the risk of skin maceration (whitening and softening of the skin) and ensures the tape stays stuck longer, even during extra time.

2. Heavy-Duty Cotton Construction

Our Heavy Elastic Adhesive Bandage is woven from 100% high-twist cotton. This gives the tape a high tensile strength that light tearable tapes simply cannot match. It offers “heavy” compression, acting like an external ligament to reinforce joints without completely immobilizing them.

3. Optimized for Contact Sports

As a specialized football medical tape, it is designed to resist impact. The fabric is durable enough to prevent abrasion burns from turf or contact with other players, providing a protective layer as well as structural support.

Specific Applications in Rugby & Football

Our EAB is versatile, but it shines in specific sporting scenarios:

  • Rugby Union & League:
    • Lineout Lifting: The 7.5cm and 10cm widths are the industry standard Rugby strapping tape for wrapping the thighs of lock forwards to create lifting blocks.
    • Ear Protection: Used to tape heads and ears to prevent “cauliflower ear” in the scrum.
    • Ankle Locking: Provides the figure-of-eight stability needed to prevent inversion sprains on uneven pitches.
  • Football (Soccer):
    • Ankle Stability: Footballers require ankle protection that fits inside a boot. Our 5cm football medical tape offers low-profile yet robust support for lateral movements and sudden turns.
    • Muscle Compression: Ideal for wrapping hamstrings or quadriceps to manage strains during recovery.

Application Guide for Physios

To get the most out of this porous EAB, follow these best practices:

  1. Preparation: Ensure skin is clean and dry. For best results, use a pre-tape spray.
  2. Anchor: Apply anchors without tension above and below the joint.
  3. Application: Unroll the tape as you go. Apply the breathable adhesive bandage with approximately 50-70% stretch for stability.
  4. Overlap: Use the colored center line (Yellow or Red) to guide your overlap. Covering the line ensures a consistent double layer of protection.
  5. Finish: Mold the tape with your hands to activate the heat-sensitive adhesive.
