Pre-Cut
Precision Cut. Easy to Apply.
K-Tape Pre-Cut was created for easy application. The K-Tape For Me selection was designed so people can apply the customized, pre-cut tapes themselves. Comes with easy-to-follow, application instructions.
K‑Tape® Cut
Accept No Substitutes
K‑Tape Pre Cut is an innovative product, recognized worldwide for its optimum quality and performance. The Kumbrink developed original K‑Tape Pre Cut combines the best natural, raw materials with the most advanced manufacturing process available.
High-End Quality
The Cotton
Only high-quality cotton from one supplier is used for K‑Tape Pre Cut. This quality guarantees a fabric structure with homogeneous thread density and virtually knot-free manufacture.
The Elastic Thread
If a thread loses its elasticity, the therapeutic effect is lost. This is why we use the best quality elastane thread for K‑Tape Pre Cut. This ensures consistent elasticity levels throughout the entire period of use.
The Dyes
You need to be certain that dyes and adhesive do not harbor risks to the skin or health when applying a tape adhering to the skin for up to 7 days. We use high-quality dyes for K‑Tape Pre Cut, supplied by Dystar. The reason: Dystar products possess the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 label and are safety approved for use in baby clothing. K‑Tape Pre Cut is suitable for a variety of applications and a wide range of users.
The Physiobond® Adhesive
Only K‑Tape Pre Cut is equipped with professional grade Physiobond adhesive.
Physiobond is a registered trademark in Europe and the USA and is used exclusively for K‑Tape Pre Cut. We recognize the quality of an adhesive depends not only on the choice of raw materials, but also in the manufacturing and finishing processes.
The objective during production is to create long polymer chains enabling the adhesive to anchor effectively onto the skin. This is followed by a complex temperature-time procedure to remove skin-irritating residual monomers. It is only then, that you can create a first-class tape that establishes a new standard.
The Cut
Quite simply, it is the cut that ultimately demonstrates the outstanding quality of K‑Tape Pre Cut.
A clean, straight cut not only looks professional, it also guarantees better adhesion and duration of wear. If the threads are torn by an unclean cut or if a skewed position causes the outer threads to be frequently cut, the tape unravels at a faster rate and loses its adhesiveness. We therefore take time in production, following a meticulous approach and using high-quality tools, to produce the best cut K‑Tape Pre Cut possible.
The Backing Paper
Typically, backing paper is only there to protect the adhesive coating. However, with K‑Tape Pre Cut, the backing paper has additional practical functions as well.
Paper Fibers
The correct orientation of paper fibers makes the backing paper more stable and K‑Tape Pre Cut pre-cuts deform significantly less than those with conventional backing paper.
Prestretch
It is necessary to prestretch the cotton fabric during production to ensure crease-free manufacturing. It’s an important production procedure we use for quality assurance.
K‑Tape Pre Cut is applied to the backing paper with 10% prestretch, automatically giving it the ideal amount of prestretch for muscle technique taping. By using the correct technique to apply the tape, it is possible to transfer the required amount of prestretch to the skin. This enables K‑Tape Pre Cut to always be pulled off the backing paper with the same amount of tension. Its handling always feels the same… every time you use it.
Benefits for Therapist and Physician
Patients receive a high-quality product, recognized worldwide for its performance quality. Skin irritation is nearly non-existant, which means no patient complaints. Its natural materials contain no harmful substances whatsoever.
K‑Tape Pre Cut may potentially adhere to the skin for one week. Many inexpensive tape substitutes adhere for just 2 to 3 days, meaning that they have to be changed frequently. Since patients usually have to pay for all treatments themselves, frequent renewal means higher costs for both patient and therapist.
Quality Control
You can only find out how good a product is and how well it performs, when you start using it.
Our manufacturing process ensures that our products always meet expectations for quality and performance. You can be certain that this also applies to the raw materials used, as the SGS stringently tests our tape. The SGS is the world‘s largest testing institute. The test results (RoHS) for K‑Tape Pre Cut indicated that there are no additional, unnecessary components in its fabrication.
