Essay

36-38. Place the part to be taped in the position in which it is to be stabilized or, if the part is musculature, make the necessary allowance for contraction and expansion. Overlap the tape at least half the width of the tape below. Avoid continuous taping. Keep the tape roll in hand whenever possible. Smooth and mold the tape as it is laid on the skin. Allow tape to fit the natural contour of the skin. Start taping with an "anchor" piece and finish by applying a "lock" strip. Where maximum support is desired, tape directly over skin surfaces.

39-41. Skin surface should be clean and dry. Hair should be removed by shaving to prevent additional irritation when the tape is removed. If additional adherence is needed spray the area with a skin-toughener of commercial benzoin solution. Use a protective covering one layer thick over the skin to minimize skin irritation. Provide protective greased pads in areas of sensitive skin or in areas where tape irritation may result.
