Product Information

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.

Performance Health Leukotape P Combi Pack, Stretch Tape

If you want to cover your whole foot, bend your foot pointing upwards and start at the base of the heel working your way up to just before your toes with overlapping strips. Add smaller strips for your toes then add a long strip from the inside of your foot to the outer side. 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 Make sure you have stopped the bleeding before applying the plaster. You can do this by applying pressure to the area, using a clean, dry and absorbent material.If you always develop blisters in the same place when running or hiking, pre-tape your feet with Leukotape P. Trim a strip with scissors by rounding the edges at the corners. This reduces the chance of catching a corner and bunching the tape or peeling it off on clothing.

Leukotape K | Performance Health®

Create patches that are precisely sized and shaped, with rounded edges that are less likely to curl under pressure; Skin Friendly. If by some chance a blister does form under the tape, when you rip it off, the tape will not tear the roof off the blister and won't remove any skin.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. Maintain the tape’s full adhesiveness, which is compromised when it is touched or when it is re-rolled into smaller rolls; and, BSN Medical, the company that makes Leukotape, makes two different versions; Leukotape P and Leukotape K.

Boots Zinc Oxide Plaster Tape 2.5cm x 8m - Boots Boots Zinc Oxide Plaster Tape 2.5cm x 8m - Boots

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. Choose the right size plaster, making sure that the wound pad is slightly larger than the wound and that the shape is correct for the area of the body:

Another big thing to make sure of is that you don't wrap the tape all the way around your foot. It doesn't stretch at all, so it can constrict blood flow and mess up your foot muscles. Breathable - You shouldn’t leave it on forever, but unlike duct-tape the cotton-rayon material breathes pretty well. It can be left on for a lot longer without issues. Your blisters rarely form right when you finish hiking. Most of the time you will need to continue hiking several miles on them. This is a super common problem with an easy fix. From a field-friendly strip of Leukotape, I cut a custom patch for a hot spot that a group member was getting on their heel. Leukotape K is similar to Kinesio Tape (or KT Tape) in that it stretches. It's great for athletes who need to maintain range of motion, but that stretch doesn't necessarily help prevent foot blisters. It's also .5 inches wider than Leukotape P, making it a little more difficult to place comfortably on your feet.
