Product Information

If you don't wish to carry around a big roll of leukotape, you can wrap a section around a hollowed out and cut-in-half writing pen or wrap some around a lighter. You could even cut strips and put them on plastic-based film sheets.

But first, it’s essential we discuss the different phases of blisters as they each require different management. Understanding Blisters in Runners and Hikers If you feel like you recognise some of the below plasters, you probably do – they used to be known as Coverplast. They are the same professional quality, just a new name. With over 100 years of experience providing premium-quality wound care solutions, Leukoplast (previously Coverplast) is the go-to brand for premium plasters, dressings and tapes. Pioneering from the very beginning, Coverplast invented the world’s first self-adhesive plaster tape in 1901, using zinc oxide and natural rubber. They have since continued to innovate and lead in their field and now provide a full range of wound care solutions for use both by medical professionals and for self-treatment at home.Leukotape protects your skin’s surface (or rather the surface of your feet) from the effects of constant rubbing. It also provides thermal insulation and can help reduce friction. Breathable We believe we have created a comprehensive collection of zinc oxide tapes– most Sports Physios will of course have individual preferences when it comes to the type of tape they use, so we present a selection of the world’s best known branded tapes such as Leukotape, Leukoplast, Strappal and Mueller M Tape and match them with our own quality professional tapes such as Vivotape P, Vivotape Sport, Vivo S Tape and Vivotape, and therefore we offer an unrivaled choice to teams and physiotherapists. Apply strips of Leukotape over the susceptible area (ball of your foot, for example) and up either side ensuring that there are no creases or gaps to avoid friction. Note, do not circle the foot entirely as it could constrict your blood supply. If you already have a blister, you can use Leukotape to stop it from getting worse and act as a barrier to nasty germs and bacteria while you are hiking or ultralight running.

However, it contains a magic ingredient that most other tapes don’t Zinc Oxide Adhesive Sports Tape to the Rescue Some leukotape brands contain natural rubber latex and may cause an allergic skin reaction if you have sensitive skin.Leukotape is the miracle hybrid of zinc oxide tape and surgical tape. Zinc oxide gives Leukotape its adhesive and supportive qualities, while surgical tape provides the breathable fabric and pressure sensitive stability. Now Leukotape is the wonder foot tape of hikers and ultralight runners. Apply it to the hot spot and rub it gently with your finger to warm it up and help the adhesive set. It’s best to apply several hours before exercise if possible to get a really tight bond, but not strictly necessary. I’ve often applied it while hiking and then resumed my trip without mishap. Notes on Use Holding the plaster by the protective strips, place the wound pad so that it fits over the wound and then peel the protective strips off entirely. Press down the edges of the plaster to secure it.
