athletic tape
Joint support bandage
Athletic tape is a strong adhesive bandage used to support joints, prevent injury, or secure protective padding during physical activity.
It wraps around ankles, wrists, fingers, or other vulnerable areas to provide stability: The trainer taped his ankle before the game.
Unlike elastic bandages, athletic tape is rigid and meant to restrict movement.
