Seriously popular tape in rugby union. Used the world over by physios in sport Lightplast Pro is considered, like most BSN tapes, as the gold standard in taping and strapping. Each of the three lightweight elastic adhesive bandages supplied by Vivomed has its own unique characteristics with regard to fabric, stretch and adhesiveness, and each sports physiotherapist has their favourite, but Lightplast Pro is arguably the most popular in professional rugby. It can be used prophylactically to help prevent sports injuries; for example it is commonly used in ankle strapping to prevent ankle sprains or support weak ankles, or more commonly to provide support and compression for on field injuries. As with the other tearable EAB\'s, its most common uses is for line out lifting in rugby, and it can be commonly seen wrapped around the thighs of line out jumpers on the rugby field. If you are using this tape to create a lifting wedge on the thighs of rugby players, you may find Vivomed Locklifts a useful addition as they can be used under the tape to provide a great lifting edge.
