Both EAB and Lite EAB are Elastic Adhesive Bandage - flexible, stretchable tape that adheres to the skin and provides compression and support.
EAB uses a thicker cotton making it more rigid and ideal for structured taping. The higher tensile strength does mean that you'll require scissors to cut.

EAB is generally suitable for most people; however, it should be used with caution by those who have an allergy to adhesives as reactions may occur. It is also contraindicated for those with open wounds, infections, or fragile skin prone to damage, as improper use could lead to irritation. We recommend consulting with a Healthcare practioner prior to using.
