Intended use (Fig. B)
This product is designed to be applied to the skin
and is for private use only. When the stretched
elastic product is attached to the skin, it transfers its
elasticity to the skin and also forms an additional
textile layer. Modern science indicates that in doing
so, the pressure influences the skin directly below
the product so that the skin alternately ripples and
stretches during the movement of the body part with
the attached product. Based on this, the interaction
can have a stimulating effect on the blood vessels
and skin receptors.
In general, stimulation of the skin and its organs can
have the following effects:
Indication: Based on these assumptions,
the elastic tape can also be used in medicine
to support attempts to treat muscular tension
(neck), postural problems (postural weaknesses),
oedemas (swellings), tendinitis (e.g. inflammation
of the Achilles tendon), and even stimulation of
trigger points, such as treatment of monthly period
complaints.
Do not use in the case of:
• Open wounds
• Skin diseases
• Thromboses
• Treatment using other methods (e.g. Fango,
massage therapies, electrical stimulation therapies)
• Allergies to the product material, adhesive or
carrier.
Safety instructions
• In the case of acute injuries or complex disease
symptoms, product adhesion should be performed
by a doctor or physiotherapist.
• Store the product out of the reach of children.
• If pregnant, please consult a doctor before
attaching the product.
• Do not over stretch the product when attaching it.
There should not be excessive constriction.
• Leave the product on the skin for a maximum of
seven days.
• The body part to be treated must not be
completely wrapped in the product!
• Do not use in the case of skin diseases and
irritations, such as neurodermatitis.
• Should hypersensitivity or allergic reactions occur,
such as itching, reddening or swelling of the skin
where the product is attached, remove the product
immediately.
• Should problems occur while wearing the product,
remove the product immediately and consult a
doctor.
Before use (Fig. A)
The product ends marked with hatching on the
paper films are known as “anchors” and are
attached without being stretched. The area in
between is stretched fully, pressed on with both
thumbs and attached. Avoid touching the adhesive
surface to guarantee the optimum wear duration.
Attaching the product
The product is on a paper backing, which must first
be removed.
Important! Do not touch the adhesive surface of the
product because this will cause the product to lose its
ability to stick.
1. Rip the paper at Mark B and remove the paper
from the end (anchor) (Fig. C).
2. Stick the end without stretching it to the skin
below he desired lymphatic area (Fig. D).
Rub the attached area.
3. Turn the product down and, holding the paper at
the designated finger markings, pull it off (Fig. E).
4. First stick down the outer fingers and then the
stretched inner fingers over the lymphatic area to
form a fan-shape (Fig F). Firmly rub the attached
fingers. The adhesive strip is activated by the
resulting frictional heat.
Application
Attach the product to the pre-tensioned body part.
Skin preparation
Important! Do not apply cream or similar
substances immediately prior to attaching
the product.
1. Determine the body part to be treated.
2. Shave the area if it is covered in thick hair.
3. Clean the body part with a fat-dissolving product
(e.g. soap or a skin disinfectant).
4. The skin must be dry for the application.
Important! The body part must be clean,
dry and free of grease.
Thigh
For this application, you require two products.
The two products are attached centrally over the
desired lymphatic area. For attachment, the person
should stand upright and the place the leg to have
the product stuck to onto a chair or something
similar, so that an approximate 90-degree angle
is formed. It is important that the outer fingers are
attached first in order to set the limits of the area.
1. Remove the paper at Mark B and stick the end
(anchor) without stretching it to the skin below
the desired lymphatic area. Rub the attached
area (Fig. G).
2. Turn the product down and, holding the paper at
the designated finger markings, pull it off (Fig. H).
The fingers point in the direction of the lymphatic
area.
3. First stick down the outer fingers and then the
stretched inner fingers over the lymphatic area
to form a fan-shape (Fig. I). Firmly rub the
attached fingers.
4. Proceed in the same way with the second finger,
except that this is stuck over the attached fingers
from the opposite side (Fig. J).
5. The affected lymphatic area should be exactly at
the centre of the fingers (Fig. K).
Cleaning and care
• Protect the product from direct sunlight, rain and
high temperatures.
• When the product has been cut, it can only be
used once.
• Dry the product if it has become wet (e.g. when
swimming, bathing or showering).
Caution: Do not rub the product dry,
as this will cause it to come away from
the skin.
