Elastic adhesive tape made of cotton fabric, coated in the form of ribs in longitudinal sections with an adhesive mass of high skin tolerance, based on rubber and synthetic resin. The adhesive mass is protected by an embossed polyethene film along its entire length. The tape is wound on a plastic tube. Longitudinal elongation is greater than 50%. Ventilation by uncoated grooves (35 to 55% of the surface, depending on dimensions). Allows radiological examination without removal.
