Steroban-U Underwrap Foam Pre-Tape — 7cm x 27m
Minimise discomfort and improve performance of taping and strapping with Steroban-U professional-quality foam underwrap. Speed up application and removal with ease.
Steroban-U Underwrap is a premium pre-taping underwrap made from thin, uncoated polyurethane foam, which forms a protective layer over the skin's surface. Popular as a sports underwrap, sometimes called an athletic underwrap, simply unroll and stretch out the foam sheet and wrap it around a limb or joint to form a barrier over which other taping and strapping products can be applied to provide compression and support.
Sports medics and athletes use Steroban-U Underwrap for sports tape protection, and it has various medical functions as a strapping underwrap, often chosen by physiotherapists to support patients during rehabilitation and recovery. For example, Steroban-U Underwrap is the ideal choice of ankle support tape underwrap but is suitable to be used anywhere on the body that requires tape or strapping to be used.
Steroplast’s experience and expertise in the healthcare industry have ensured that we have developed a reliable, premium-quality foam underwrap bandage that conforms to any part of the body, preparing the area for stronger tape and adhesive. It acts as a comfortable and breathable underwrap tape that is uncoated and reduces the risk of skin maceration. Covering the skin before taping altogether removes the discomfort of removing adhesive tapes and bandages, such as microporous or zinc oxide tape, directly from the skin. Choose a foam underwrap that acts as a protective barrier for the skin and tissue underneath, helping to reduce rubbing and chafing and improving wearer comfort.

Steroban-U Underwrap Uses

A few underwrap uses that may surprise you include crafts, wrapping stationary, and decoration, as well as practical applications such as holding your tied shoe laces secure during activity!
Underwrap for Sports
Steroban-U Underwrap is a popular choice of sports tape underwrap across a wide range of sports and athletic activities. As well as to protect skin from tape adhesive, players often use foam underwrap to secure their socks and shin pads in place comfortably.
Some professional athletes, especially female footballers with long hair, use underwrap to secure their hair back, away from their eyes, without the hairs becoming stuck and tangled by adhesive.
Across many sports, underwrap is commonly used for blister prevention.
Underwrap for First Aid
The application of hot and cold therapy as part of first aid treatment, specifically cooling instant ice packs, in the event of an injury, can be an effective way to reduce swelling and promote a fast recovery. Trained first aiders can use underwrap to comfortably secure a cold pack over the injured area and continue treating any other areas or casualties.
Veterinary Treatments Using Underwrap
Steroban-U Underwrap is commonly used in the veterinary sector and can be used on animals by veterinarians. It offers a more comfortable solution for animals with fur, preventing their hairs from becoming adhered to during treatment and recovery and taking away the discomfort of removal.
