This highly conformable tape also gives with swelling to help prevent mechanical injury to skin, and it is water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and neither it nor its packaging contain natural rubber latex or dry natural rubber; most other elastic tapes in this class are made with natural rubber adhesives.
