Product Description

Mueller PFTape Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief System is a pre-cut, single-use taping system that gives targeted, flexible support to the bottom of the foot to help relieve heel and arch pain associated with plantar fasciitis. Each application is a two-piece set: a wider sole strip with two heel tabs that runs from the ball of the foot around the heel, and a narrower arch strip that wraps around the middle of the foot. There is nothing to cut or measure, and one size fits most feet (US men's 8 to 12, US women's 9 to 13).

Each application can be worn for up to 24 hours, day or night, and fits inside your shoes, so you can stay on your feet at work or keep training while you recover. Change it daily for consistent support. Mueller notes that most people use PFTape for 14 to 21 days, and that pain may ease within a few days but that does not mean recovery is complete, so keep using it for the full course. Reduce exercise intensity during recovery, wear supportive footwear, and see a podiatrist or physician if pain persists or gets worse.

Customers say it makes long days standing on concrete bearable and helps with those painful first steps in the morning, and some found they needed the tape less over time. A few tips from reviewers: it can take an application or two to find the right tension, and the backing peels off more easily if you start at the perforations and peel slowly so the tape does not fold onto itself.

Features & Benefits

  • Pre-cut, two-piece sole and arch strips; no cutting or measuring
  • Targeted, flexible support for the heel and arch
  • One size fits most: US men's 8 to 12, US women's 9 to 13
  • Wear up to 24 hours per application, day or night, inside shoes
  • Single use; apply a fresh set each day
  • Not made with natural rubber latex

Uses & Applications

  • Heel and arch pain associated with plantar fasciitis
  • All-day support for people who stand or walk on hard floors
  • Staying active during a 14 to 21 day course of daily taping
Country of Origin: United States.

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry your foot thoroughly, then sit in a stable position.
  2. Separate the sole strip (the wider piece with two tabs) from the arch strip (the narrower solid piece) at the perforations.
  3. Peel the small backing from the sole strip and attach the exposed adhesive near the ball of the foot, with the tabs pointing toward the heel.
  4. Hold your foot at a 90 degree or slightly downward angle, remove the rest of the backing, and press the strip onto the heel and along the bottom of the foot.
  5. Cross the tabs around the back of the heel, then press them against the arch to secure. Adjust if needed.
  6. Remove the backing from the arch strip and wrap it around the middle of the foot, near the middle of the arch.
  7. Wear for up to 24 hours and replace daily. Do not wear in the tub or shower, and remove the tape if it gets wet.
  8. To remove, gently pull at the ends and peel the tape off. Any adhesive residue comes off with warm water and a washcloth.
* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

QUESTION: Is this zinc oxide tape or kinesiology tape?
ANSWER: Mueller's PFTape product is rayon coated with a latex-free adhesive (not a kinesiology product). Thank you.

User Reviews

Made in the USA
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
