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 Put, Yet Is Gentle on Your Skin
Developed specifically for people with highly sensitive skin, the STRATAGEL® adhesive combines exceptional skin compatibility with reliable, long-lasting hold. Thanks to its hypoallergenic formulation, the tape can be worn comfortably for many days without causing irritation, even on sensitive or compromised skin.
Its innovative technology makes all the difference: when removed, the adhesive dissolves within itself instead of pulling on the skin. This protects the skin surface, minimizes the removal of skin paticles and makes frequent application or removal surprisingly gentle. Irritation, micro-injuries and burning sensations are significantly reduces, providing noticeable relief for the skin without compromising performance.
This unique STRATAGEL® technology is currently unmatched on the market, making this tape a true game changer for anyone who demands professional results without putting stress on their skin.
When Tape Gentle Makes the Difference
There are times when your skin needs more protection than usual. Moments when even the slightest irritation would be too much. That's exactly why K-Active® Tape Gentle was developed. Wherever conventional tapes adhere too aggressively, where the skin is sensitive, irritated or simply highly delicate, Tape Gentle provides the reassurance and gentleness you need.
It is particularly beneficial in lymphology, where swelling can leave the skin dry, tight or sensitive and frequent reapplication of tape is required. Here, the self-releasing STRATAGEL® adhesiv offers a clear advantage. Tape Gentle is also ideal for babies and children, whose fragile skin needs special protection, allowing for safe application without added irritation.
Around wounds or in case of chronic skin changes, for example due to circulatory disorders or metabolic conditions, the tape delivers reliable support while remaining exceptionally gentle. In orthopedic applications, the mild adhesive helps ensure that the skin is not unnecessarily stressed by movement or tension. In aesthetic treatments, especially on the face or chest area, Tape Gentle is the perfect choice for delicate areas that demand maximum gentleness.
More in Depth Information About Our Tape Gentle
Especially with children, it's not just the application but above all the removal of tape that causes concern. Children's skin is significantly thinner, more sensitive and more reactive than adult skin and conventional tapes can easily lead to irritation when removed.
Tape Gentle was developed precisely for this purpose. Thanks to its special STRATAGEL® adhesive technology, it provides reliable adhesion during wear, yet when removed, the adhesive breaks down within itself. Instead of pulling on the skn, it releases from the inside out, protecting delicate skin particles and making removal far more comfortable for parents, therapists and children alike.
When applied correctly, Tape Gentle can be used even with the youngest patients in pediatric therapy. Therapists and physicians can safely aply orthopedic or internal taping techniques for babies. For example in case of foot misalignment or infant colic, without worrying about demaging delicate skin during removal.
As we age, the skin becomes thinner, less elastic and its barrier function more fragile. Even minor mechanical stress can lead to skin damage. For this reason, an especially gentle tape is essential in geriatric care.
With K-Active® Tape Gentle, therapeutic interventions can be applied without overloading the skin. Ideal for:
- Patients with osteoarthritis: Pain relief and joint support
- Postoperative care: Reduction of swelling and support of the healing process
- Fall prevention: Improvement of proprioception and muscle activation
- Rheumatic conditions: Reduction of swelling and improved mobility
With K-Active® Tape Gentle, I can finally tape patients with sensitive skin as well, because its gentle adhesive does not cause skin irritation during the application.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, K-Active® Tape Gentle is hypoallergenic and latex-free. It was specially developed for sensitive skin and has been dermatologically tested. However, for patients with known severe allergies or extremely sensitive skin, it is always advisable to perform a small test application to rule out individual reactions.
You can easily check compatibility yourself, directly on the inside of your forearm. Cut a small piece of K-Active® Tape Gentle and apply it to the inner side of your forearm. This allows you to immediately feel how comfortably the tape adheres and how gently the adhesive dissolves within itself during removal, without pulling on your skin. If you notice any skin irritation, do not use the tape.
The key difference lies in the adhesive: While the Classic K-Active Tape® uses a strong, reliable acrylic adhesive suitable for normal skin, K-Active® Tape Gentle features the innovative Stratagel adhesive.
This adhesive provides the same secure hold during application as a conventional acrylic adhesive, but when the tape is removed, it breaks down within itself. As a result, the tape releases from the skin form the inside out without pulling, which is a major advantage for sensitive, delicate or previously damaged skin, offering a far greater safety and comfort.
The elasticity and therapeutic properties of Tape Gentle are identical to those of K-Active® Tape Classic. This makes it suitable for almost all taping applications and just as versatile in therapeutic use with the added benefit of a significantly gentler removal thanks to Stratagel technology.
In pediatrics, the skin is thinner and more sensitive. K-Active® Tape Gentle minimizes the risk of skin irritation and discomfort during removal, which significantly improves acceptance among children. It is ideal for long wearing times and for support in neurological or orthopedic indications.
The wearing duration varies depending on skin type, application area and individual tolerance. In general, K-Active® Tape Gentle can be worn for 3 to 7 days. However, if any signs of itching, redness or discomfort appear, it should be removed immediately.
Yes, K-Active® Tape Gentle is water repellent. Your patients can shower or bathe while wearing it. It's important to gently pat the tape dry afterward rather than rubbing it.
