Tensoban Salvapelle 2000x7cm

Tensoban is a brand of protective foam underwrap bandage manufactured by BSN Medical (a brand under the global hygiene and health company Essity). It is specifically designed as a thin, polyurethane protective barrier used beneath adhesive sports tapes, strappings, or orthopedic casts to protect the skin from irritation. Product Function and Purpose Skin Protection: Acts as a barrier between the skin and adhesive bandages or synthetic support systems, protecting against irritation and hair pulling during tape removal. Pre-Taping: Primarily used in functional bandaging for both preventive and therapeutic purposes, especially over bony prominences. Padding: Can be used as a pre-tape over padding layers in orthopedic casting to provide a smooth, compressed surface before synthetic casting materials are applied. Key Product Characteristics Material: Made from lightweight, very thin polyurethane foam. Adhesion: It is non-adhesive to skin, hair, or clothing, but possesses self-adhering properties that allow layers to stick to each other, preventing slippage and wrinkles. Breathability: The material is porous and permeable to air and water vapor, which reduces the risk of skin maceration (skin breakdown due to moisture). Ease of Use: It is highly elastic (longitudinally and transversely) and can be easily torn by hand, allowing for rapid application without scissors. Latex-Free: Most versions are formulated without natural rubber latex, making them suitable for patients with sensitive skin or latex allergies. Common Sizes and Availability 7cm x 20m: This is a standard size frequently used in sports medicine and clinics. 10cm x 20m: A wider option for larger areas. It is often available through medical supply retailers and pharmacies such as Fiasmed or Mon Pharmacien Conseil. Manufacturer and Branding Tensoban is part of the Actimove Sports Edition line. The manufacturing company, BSN Medical, is a subsidiary of Essity, which manages a wide portfolio of professional hygiene and health brands.
