DynaPro ElastikWrap is an ultra strong, non tear elastic tape that is useful for strapping or securing bandages to highly irregular areas of the body.
DynaPro ElastikWrap is an ultra strong, non tear elastic tape that is comparable to Mueller Sports Medicine Stretch MTape. It provides greater tensile and adhesive strength than DynaPro StretchLight or DynaPro Porous Zinc Oxide Tape. This tensile and adhesive strength allows you to use ElastikWrap for taping highly irregular body parts. The high tension levels required for taping these parts make StretchLight or Porous Zinc Oxide Tape unsuitable for the situation.
You can also use ElastikWrap to secure bandages, particularly on irregular areas, or for when you need additional therapeutic compression.
DynaPro has equipped ElastikWrap with feathered edges help to prevent it rolling up when you pull athletic shorts or pants over an area that you have already taped. These edges also help to enhance wearing comfort.ย In addition, the red center guideline helps to ensure accurate and consistent taping for maximum therapeutic effectiveness.
For superior comfort, DynaPro ElastikWrap non tear elastic tapeย is latex free. This removes a potential concern for those with sensitive skin or latex allergy histories.
DynaPro ElastikWrap comes in 2 sizes – 2″ x 5 yds and 3″ by 5 yds. It is sold by the roll. However, you can also buy it by the case. There are 24 rolls per case for the 2″ x 5 yds size and 16 rolls per case for the 3″ x 5 yds version. The 3″ size provides more coverage and is ideal for taping larger body parts such as the knee. The 2″ width is more appropriate for taping smaller parts such as the wrist. This is particularly important when you need to precisely target the compression you are applying to those areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes DynaPro ElastikWrap different from other athletic tapes, and when should I use it?
DynaPro ElastikWrap is classified as a “heavy” or non tear elastic tape, which distinguishes it from lighter alternatives like DynaPro StretchLight or standard Porous Zinc Oxide Tape . Its primary differentiator is its superior tensile and adhesive strength . This robust construction makes it the ideal choice for taping highly irregular or contoured body partsโsuch as the knee, elbow, or shoulderโwhere high tension levels are required for effective support .
Lighter tapes are often unsuitable for these areas because they cannot withstand the necessary tension without failing. You should use ElastikWrap when you need to provide strong support to unstable joints, manage muscle injuries, or secure bandages on difficult areas while also delivering therapeutic compression . Its strength ensures that the support remains intact throughout activity, reducing the need for reapplication .
What design features does ElastikWrap have to ensure comfort and effective application?
DynaPro ElastikWrap Non Tear Elastic Tape incorporates several thoughtful design elements to enhance both the user experience and therapeutic outcome.
First, the tape features feathered edges, which are specially designed to prevent the edges from rolling up when you pull athletic shorts or pants over the taped area. This not only keeps the tape securely in place but also significantly improves wearing comfort throughout the day.
Second, a red center guideline runs along the length of the tape . This visual aid is crucial for ensuring accurate, straight, and consistent application, which maximizes the tape’s therapeutic effectiveness by providing uniform support and compression. For comfort, the tape is also made from a porous material that allows moisture to evaporate, helping to keep the skin dry .
Is DynaPro ElastikWrap Non Tear Elastic Tape suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies?
Yes, it is particularly well-suited for individuals with sensitive skin or concerns about latex allergies. DynaPro ElastikWrap is constructed to be 100% latex-free . This is a significant advantage, especially when compared to comparable products on the market, such as Mueller Stretch MTape, which does contain latex.
By eliminating latex, ElastikWrap removes a common potential irritant, making it a safer and more comfortable choice for athletes and patients who have experienced allergic reactions in the past or who have particularly sensitive skinย . This focus on hypoallergenic materials ensures that the benefits of support and compression are not overshadowed by skin irritation.
