Taping arm--is there a trick to getting tape off?

Try taking it off after soaking in the tub. Also while in the bath apply baby oil or vasaline to tape area and work in. When pulling tape peal it back against itself while holding the skin it is being pulled from taught. I hope you understand what I mean. All these things have worked for us in the past.

We did the kineseo taping and Leuko taping. Brace worked better than taping for supination Leuko tape seemed to keep winging from getting worse, but saw no marked improvements. Put on a little milk of magnesia and let it dry before taping. When taking it of saturating it with oil (mineral, vegetable) helps some, so does a warm bath. Check with your local medical supply outlet. There are little premositened towlet lokking things that are designed for removing adhesive from bandages. A friend of mine that is an EMT hooked us up with some and then we ordred them through our home medical place. They were a little pricey, but worth every penny of it. The oil/adhesive combination would make my daughter break out, she has pretty sensitive skin though. Wish I could remeber the name of the product, but it has been a couple years since we quit taping. A big problem we had was her trying to pull the tape off herself. I would put a sleeve of fabric over her tape to keep her from picking at it. Good luck.

Try putting baby-oil on the tape to take it off. It also instantly takes of the adhesive Brandonbleft behind from the tape.Don't use alcohohol it does'nt work. Good luck
