Feature(may vary by option.)
●Protective and preventive - Protects fingers from overload and prevents sports injuries when outdoor or indoor climbing and bouldering. As a sports tape for martial arts, strength sports, volleyball, handball, football, tennis, cross fit, the bandage supports tendons and joints
●Strong hold - Successfully tested when climbing and bouldering, sticks even under extreme loads. Even by using magnesium, chalk in a chalk bag or liquid chalk, the adhesive strength is not affected
●No restriction of movement: thanks to the optimal width of 1.5 cm, you can fix the tape between the finger links to support the tendons and does not restrict the movement of the finger joints
●Skin-friendly - Latex-free and made from 100% real cotton finger tape. The finger tape is easy to tear off and can be removed from the skin without leaving any residue after climbing and bouldering
●Box contents: 4 rolls, width: 1.5 cm, length: 10 metres. Manufacturer: amathings

Description
Amathings Finger Tape
Skin-friendly and strong adhesion, residue-free removal, easy to tear off, latex free, 100% cotton.
Our taping tip:
Thoroughly clean hands and fingers – the skin should be as grease-free and dry as possible. Remove the desired length of the tapes, pull the tape between the fingers and tear off both vertically and slightly horizontally, attach the tape to the finger joint and youre ready to go.
Tape for protection of the middle of the finger joint.

This variant of taping is most commonly used in climbing. When putting on, you should make sure that freedom of movement, such as the bending and stretching of the joint, is not restricted. |
We recommend an angled position of the middle joint - about 30° - 40° to which the tape strip is glued in the form of an "eight" (see picture series). As a result, the extension of the middle joint is slightly restricted, but the bending remains largely. Thus, when the joint is loaded, partly transferred to the tape, which makes it ideal as a prophylaxis for stressful single or two-finger grips. |
4 rolls. |
3 wheels in a practical sturdy metal box. |
Tip: When applying, it is important to bend the middle of the finger joint by 30° - 40°, so the tape can relieve the capsule and the ligaments during passive finger extension.

1.Starting at the base of the finger. After wrapping the base of the finger joint with the tape, you cross the finger joint as possible on the palm of your hand at a 30° bend. |
2.Then wrap the finger middle link. |
3.Then you return the tape back under the middle of the finger joint. |
4.Until the closure is done at the base of the finger joint. Free movement should still be possible and noticeably limit a complete stretch. This relieves flexor tendon and capsule. |
Tape to protect the finger joint.
The "eight" to be laid as described above, is not advisable due to the narrow end finger joint and the load on the fingertip. The tape would mainly stick to the fingertip, obstruct when gripping and slipping. Here you can only tape the finger tape loosely around the joint with about one and a half wrapping. This provides some protection for the skin surface, but basic stability as on the middle of the finger joint is not achieved.
Tape to protect the finger joint.
For serious injuries, such as the side ligament and capsule injury, it is recommended to slide the injured finger with the neighbours finger through a so-called "Buddy-Tape". The Buddy, the healthy finger next to the injured, supports the same.
For this purpose, a strip is glued around the finger base and middle joint if necessary also around the finger joint of the two fingers. So they can be moved freely, bent and stretched together, but do not move away from each other (side bands) or twist against each other.
Tape the ring band.
The ring bands of climbing athletes are heavily stressed. Ring band complaints are a common problem among climbers. But also in other sports, the flexors, the main force transmitters, hold to the bones.
A total of five thin ring bands belong to each of our fingers. Their task is to squeeze the flexor tendons on the bones when the hand is closed, allowing the best possible transfer of the force developed in the tendons to the bone.
Climbers and boulderers strain their fingers, especially the ring bands much more extreme than non-climbing people. The ring bands are very stressed in a bent finger position, especially when "set-up" on small handles. It can quickly lead to ring band tears or tendonitis.
Tape the ring band.
If there is an injury, the A2 and A3 ring band are most commonly affected. These "hold" the tendon in front of and behind the middle of the finger joint on the bone. After a ring band tear, this fixation is missing and with a corresponding load or Bend of the finger removes the tendon from the bone (bowstring = bow tendon effect). The phenomenon of the bow tendon effect occurs directly on the joint on the palm.

The Schöffl competence doctors pair has developed an effective and proven tape method: The H-tape or the ISA-tape (according to the inventor Isabell Schöffl) method, which pulls the tendon back to the bone at this point leads to a relief of the ring bands. For this purpose, our 1.5 cm wide finger tape with a length of approx. 10 cm (depending on finger thickness) must be cut in the middle or torn in the middle so that a bridge of about 1 cm width remains in the middle and 0.75 cm thick reins are formed on each side of the bridge. |
Two of these reins are then carried out under the first finger joint (on the side of the finger rest) and tightly taped. Then the joint is bent and the two remaining reins are tightly taped over the joint. (see image) Pay attention to the tight fit of the tape. The blood circulation in the finger may initially be limited and the finger will become bluish in the short term. However, after the first ten handles, the tape is stretched and the blood circulation works again unrestricted. The tape should only be applied shortly before climbing due to the short-term limited blood circulation. If it still feels too tight after the first round, the tape should be loosened and applied slightly loose. For the cumbersome application of the tape you need some practice. To secure the tape bandage, an "eight" or a narrow tape strip can be glued over it. |
We wish you a lot of success with taping and hope that you have a lot of fun with our finger tape during your climbing routes and sports activities. |
