K-Active® Tape Gentle - the Game Changer for Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin needs more than a standard tape. It needs protection, trust and a technology that truly understands how delicately the skin can react. K-Active® Tape Gentle, developed in Japan, was created for exactly that purpose. Its core feature is the exceptional Stratagel adhesive, which dissolves within itself when removed. This means: almost no skin particles are pulled off, even with repeated application or removal. No tugging, no irritation, just pure gentleness. Whether during pregnancy, in infancy, with chronically altered or very dry skin, metabolic issues, or in older age: wherever your skin is particularly sensitive, Tape Gentle shows its true strength. Conventional kinesiology tapes often reach their limits here, but Tape Gentle was made specifically for these special circumstances. It supports you with skin-friendly safety and a feeling so gentle, it's almost like you're not wearing a tape at all.

Finally, a Tape That Stays in Place and Still Feels Gentle on Your Skin
Developed for people with particularly sensitive skin, the Stratagel adhesive offers a exceptionally skin-friendly formulation while still providing reliable, long-lasting adhesion. Thanks it its hypoallergenic composition, the tape can be worn comfortably for many days, even on delicate or previously stressed skin, without causing irritation.
Its unique technology makes all the difference: When removed, the adhesive dissolves within itself instead of sticking to the skin. This protects the skin, prevents the removal of skin particles and makes even frequent application or removal suprisingly gentle. Irritation, micro-injuries or burning sensations are significantly reduced. Noticeable relief for the skin without compromising performance.
This one-of-a-kind Stratagel technology is currently unmatched on the market, making the tape a true game changer for anyone who wans professional results without stressing their skin.
When Tape Gentle Is Especially Helpful
There are moments when your skin needs more protection than usual. Times when even the slightest irritation would be too much. K-Active® Tape Gentle was created exactly for those situations. Wherever conventional tapes adhere too strongly or when the skin is sensitive, irritated or simply very delicate, Tape Gentle provides the safety and softness you need.
In lymphatic therapy, where swelling often makes the skin dry, thight or sensitive, and where tape frequently needs to be reapplied, the dissolving Stratagel adhesive is especially beneficial. For babies and children, whose delicate skin requires the highest level of protection, Tape Gentle allows safe applications without added irritation.
Around wounds or in cases of chronic skin changes, such as those caused by circulatory issues or metabolic disorders, the tape offers reliable yet exceptionally gentle support. In orthopedic applications, the mild adhesive ensures that your skin isn't unnecessarily stressed by movement or tension. In aesthetic taping, especially on the face or decollete, Tape Gentle is ideal for sensitive areas that require maximum gentleness.

When it comes to children, the biggest concern is not only how the tape is applied, but especially how it is removed. Children's skin is significantly thinner, more sensitive and more reactive than adult skin, which means regular tape can easily cause irritation when peeled off.
Tape Gentle was developed precisely for this purpose: Thanks to its special Stratagel adhesive technology, it adheres reliably during wear, yet when removed, the adhesive breaks down within itself. It releases from the skin from the inside out instead of pulling on it, protectting delicate skin cells and making tape removal much more comfortable fort parents, therapists and children.
When applies correctly, Tape Gentle can be used even for the youngest patients in pediatric therapy. Therapists and physicians can safely perform orthopedic or internal taping applications on infants. For example, for foot deformities or infant colic, without worrying about damaging their delicate skin during removal.
As we age the skin becomes thinner, less elastic and its barrier function becomes more fragile. Even small mechanical stresses can lead to skin damage. That's why a particularly gentle tape is essential in geriatric care.
With K-Active® Tape Gentle, you can apply therapeutic techniques without overburdening the skin. Ideal for:
- Osteoarthritis patients: Pain reduction and joint suport
- Postoperative care: Reduction of swelling and support of the healing process
- Fall prevention: Improved proprioception and muscle activation
- Rheumatic conditions: Reduction of swelling and improved mobility
With the K-Active® Tape Gentle, I can finally tape even my most senistive patients, because its gentle adhesive does not cause any skin irritation
