The SpiderTech Large Lymphatic Spider is a pre-cut kinesiology tape specially designed to reduce swelling, bruising and pain. Its unique "multi-fingered" design allows it to be positioned directly over the lymphatic channels responsible for removing excess fluids from the body. The tape exerts a lifting action on the skin, allowing fluid to drain more effectively. As the swelling recedes, this reduces irritation to pain receptors under the skin, leading to relief of pain and throbbing in severely swollen areas.
The Lymphatic Spider is among the most versatile of all the precut kinesiology tape applications, because it can be used on any large area of the body including the thigh, abdomen, shoulder, chest or back. It can be used for either acute or chronic injuries, inflammatory conditions (including lymphedema), and is also an excellent therapeutic tool to control swelling following surgery.
