Zinc Oxide Tape

Zinc Oxide Tape

On a physio table or a footy sideline, zinc oxide tape is the rigid strapping that holds firm under load. It's the traditional cotton-backed, non-elastic tape used to restrict joint movement, protect ligaments, and stabilise ankles, thumbs, fingers, and wrists. The same tape holds firm as an anchor for compression bandages and layered dressings in clinical settings.

Rigid zinc oxide tape from Aero and Smith & Nephew in 2.5cm, 3.8cm, and 5cm widths covers most strapping and fixation uses. The 3.8cm width is the standard pick for ankle and knee strapping; the 2.5cm suits thumbs, fingers, and wrists. Skin-tone rolls look less conspicuous under sports uniforms.

On direct skin contact, zinc oxide needs a skin prep or underwrap to reduce friction damage, especially on hair-bearing skin or with repeat taping.

Taping guidance for injury prevention and wound fixation sits in the wound care guide. Our tape range covers paper, plastic, foam, and fixation tapes alongside zinc oxide.

Sports clubs and physio clinics usually order zinc oxide by the carton; the FAD team can set up a recurring order matched to season and squad size.

Always read the instructions for use.
