The OSAKA COSTAPE (Cotton Staple Tape) is a premium quality, zinc oxide adhesive tape designed for professional and home first-aid use. Made from a soft, durable cotton fabric, it offers exceptional breathability and comfort, making it suitable for sensitive skin and extended wear applications .
Unlike standard plastic or paper tapes, OSAKA COSTAPE features a strong, reliable adhesive that holds dressings securely in place without restricting movement. The porous cotton construction allows air to reach the skin, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting faster healing. It can be easily torn by hand in both directions (crosswise and lengthwise), eliminating the need for scissors in emergency situations.
Available in 4 Vibrant Colors (R/W/B/Y):
Red (R): High visibility for sports taping or marking specific areas.
White (W): Classic, clinical appearance for general medical use.
Blue (B): Easy identification; often used in sports physiotherapy.
Yellow (Y): Ideal for color-coding or allergy-sensitive identification.
Key Features:
Zinc Oxide Adhesive: Provides a secure, long-lasting hold that resists sweat and moisture while being gentle on the skin during removal.
Breathable Cotton Fabric: Prevents skin irritation and allows the wound area to breathe, unlike occlusive plastic tapes.
Hypoallergenic Properties: Suitable for patients with sensitive skin or allergies to standard adhesives (latex-free variants available).
Hand Tearable: No cutting tools required—tear easily to the desired length, even with one hand.
Versatile Application: Equally effective for securing gauze pads, IV lines, splints, or for athletic strapping and kinesiology taping techniques.
Common Uses:
Medical: Securing wound dressings, surgical bandages, and catheter fixations.
Sports: Strapping ankles, wrists, and fingers; preventing sports injuries.
Physiotherapy: Taping for postural support or muscle stabilization.
General First-Aid: Holding gauze in place for cuts, abrasions, or post-operative wounds.
Household/Industrial: Temporary repairs, labeling, or bundling light items (non-medical uses).
How to Use:
Clean and dry the skin area where tape will be applied.
Apply the dressing or gauze pad over the wound.
Tear off the required length of OSAKA COSTAPE.
Apply the tape smoothly over the dressing, pressing down edges firmly.
Do not wrap too tightly to avoid restricting blood circulation.
Note: For medical applications, use as directed by a healthcare professional. Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs. Store in a cool, dry place.
