Gripit ACTIVETAPE assists in unloading muscles and joints, reducing pain and enhancing performance and recovery. It is smooth and comfortable to wear and does not contain latex or zinc oxide. Gripit Active is unique in that it is multi-directional and a 260% stretch which means it is highly elastic and stretches in both directions. By being able to stretch  in both directions, it can adhere closely around joints and body parts for maximum full dynamic support and unloading. It features a blend of nylon and cotton cloth giving it a light and athletic feel, which is durable and contours well to all body shapes and sizes. The breathable fabric dries quickly, so that it is perfect for showering, swimming, water sports and frail sensitive skin. Its advanced Japanese adhesive technology provides maximum stick and ensures you can have confidence in it sticking through any high-level sport, recreational activities or working conditions. It is best applied on the body at a stretched and shortened position. When taped appropriately, the Gripit Active can provide mechanical assistance to a joint or muscle allowing for full movement as it stretches. It can also absorb force (load) and slow down movement (reduced eccentric contraction workload). Using the elastic recoil stretch properties, it can therefore be used to transfer the absorbed energy into assisting movement. It adheres well to both skin as well as itself, meaning you can apply multiple layers of tape to enhance the unloading muscle effect while still not restricting movement and is safe to use on all ages from children through to adults as well as during pregnancy. It measures 2 inches x 5.5 yards
