Introduction
Elastic Adhesive Bandage is also commonly
referred to as EAB. It is made from a
heavyweight, short stretch material similar to
that of heavyweight plasters or Elastoplast. The
hypo-allergenic adhesive is quite strong to allow
this tape to be used for joint and soft tissue
strapping and immobilisation. It comes in a
white or tan colour, with feathered edges to
prevent any rubbing or chafing.

Tear Lite Elastic Adhesive Bandage
This is tear lite EAB. You will often notice
square bumps in the tape.
Tear Lite Elastic Adhesive Bandage can be ripped
on application. It behaves very similarly to
standard EAB in the way it stretches, but it uses
less material with a more open weave, making it
easier to tear. This means that Tear Lite EAB is
not as strong as standard EAB, and it is not
recommended for strengthening or supporting an
injured area, but it can be used quickly at the
pitch side to hold dressings or apply compression.

Premium Tan Elastic Adhesive Bandage
This is tear lite EAB. You will often notice
square bumps in the tape.
When it comes to buying Elastic Adhesive Bandage,
the more expensive tape tends to have a stronger
adhesive. The material itself does not differ
hugely in quality. If you are looking for a quick
solution that you will only need to apply for a
couple of hours then our Training EAB or Standard
EAB will suit you. But if you are using the tape
to support a more serious injury and you need a
more reliable, long term hold then you will be
better with a Premium EAB.
