berniebeaudry Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've been searching for over an hour to no avail. There was a mention of a really good medical tape product that wasn't any of the usual products. I can't remember what it was called. Does anyone remember it and what it was called? Thanks for your help! Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help! Bernie There's Transpore which I use often. There's also tape called Medipore which they use to place over IV sites. It's hypoallergenic and perforated so you ca place over a lav. There's various other kinds of medical tape, but those are the ones I use most often.

berniebeaudry Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Those aren't the one I was thinking of. It was more obscure than anything we usually use but sounded like a good product. Thanks, Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Mega Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Are you thinking of the Leuko tapes? I use Leuko Sportstape http://www.elastoplastsport.com.au/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?IdDataSource=19 works great. The 3.8cm x 13.7m roll - code 76012. Beige colour is stickier than the white but the white can come in handy sometimes. It uses zinc oxide adhesive but I've only ever seen one girl have a reaction to it from the countless people we mic up every day. I guess she had very sensitive skin. Place the lav in between two pieces, like a sandwich. Not sure where you can get it in the US though but its readily available in chemists/pharmacys here in Australia. Photo is 76015 but you get the idea. Cheers Peter Mega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Sure it was a medical tape? IE not Nitto or etc? Tensiplast?

jason porter Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 "Funky Foot"? is that anything like "Jimmy Leg"? Sure it was a medical tape? IE not Nitto or etc? Tensiplast?

berniebeaudry Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Wow, So many more tape ideas just in time for spring and summer. I'm not sure but I think it was the kinesio tape I was thinking of. Still a search didn't turn it up on this forum. Oh well still some great info and reminders of what's out there. Thanks everybody!!

Jim Feeley Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm a bit late, but try searching Google on "sports tape" and "athletic tape." Brands like Mueller, Kinesio, and others make all sorts of stuff. Or drop by a big sports store and check out the various adhesives, removers, and other stuff. I use a bunch of sports tape and stuff when wiring athletes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemmerlinj Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I was told by a nurse once to try pink tape. That's what they called it. Said I should be able to get it from any medical supply place. Jason Hemmerlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I think Leukotape and Kinesio are pretty much the same -- used to tape up injured athletes: http://www.amazon.com/Leukotape-Sportstape-1-5-Inches-Yards/dp/B000H94TAQ/ref=pd_sim_hpc_16 --Marc W.

Peter Deutscher Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I was told by a nurse once to try pink tape. That's what they called it. Said I should be able to get it from any medical supply place. Pink tape is SUPER sticky. Would work great but not sure if it would leave a residue on your lav heads or cables. Works great on skin, but can be painful taking it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Pert Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Could it be Blenderm? It is a surgical medical tape made by 3M. Very sticky and waterproof. I've used it with great success although it can irritate sensitive skin and leaves a difficult residue on lavs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
