Medical device
Only intended for private use!
Note:
The medical device is intended for adults who are able to read,
understand and independently follow these instructions for use.
A reason for use, as named under Indications, must be present at
the user.
The item is not intended for groups of persons who are excluded
from its application by the contraindications listed below.
Scope of delivery
2 x kinesiology tape (2x: 500 x 5 cm)
1 x instructions for use
Intended purpose
This article is intended to be applied to the skin. When the elastic
tape is tensioned and stuck to the skin it doesn't just transmit its
tension to the skin, it also reinforces it by forming an additional
textile layer.
If used correctly the elastic tape can help to stabilise joints and
to relax and alleviate muscular pain.
The tensioning force can have a stimulating effect on the skin
and its lymphatic vessels, which can promote the drainage of
tissue fluid and consequently help to reduce swelling.
Indications
The elastic tape can be used to help alleviate:
• postural problems (postural weaknesses)
• instability of the joints
• tense muscles
• muscle pain
• menstrual cramps
Contraindications
Do not use – or only use after consulting your doctor – in the
case of:
• Open wounds
• Skin diseases
• Thromboses
• Treatments using other methods (e.g. fangotherapy, massage
therapies, electrical muscle stimulation treatment)
• Allergies to the material that the article, adhesive or backing
is made of
• Chronic complaints relating to its field of use
Safety information
In the case of acute injuries or complex symptoms you
should arrange for a doctor or physiotherapist to stick the
article (tape) in place.
Keep the article out of the reach of children.
Pregnant women should seek advice from a doctor before
applying the article.
Do not apply the article with excessive tension. There
should not be an undue level of constriction.
Leave the article on the skin for a maximum of seven days.
The part of the body which is to be treated must not be
completely enveloped by the article!
Do not use in the case of skin diseases and irritations, such
as neurodermatitis.
Hypersensitivities or allergic reactions are shown by red-
ness combined with itching and/or swelling of the skin to
which the tape is applied. In this case remove the article
immediately.
Redness without itching and/or swelling may also be
caused by the removal of the tape – owing to the stimula-
tion of blood circulation in the skin – and it is normal if it
fades within a few minutes.
If problems arise while you are wearing the tape remove it
immediately and clean the area of skin with cold water. The
problems should be alleviated and/or completely eliminat-
ed within a couple of minutes of removing the tape. If prob-
lems persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
Use
The various applications are illustrated in a product video at
www.horizonte.de/media/HKI01.
We recommend getting someone else to help you apply the article
correctly.
Note: The ends of the article (anchors) are always stuck in
place without any tension being applied.

Q
Preparation
Important! Don't apply creams or similar products immediately
before applying the tape.
1. Shave the part of the body that is to be treated if it is covered
with dense hair.
2. Clean the body part using degreasing agents (e.g. soap or
skin disinfectants). The skin must be clean, grease-free and
dry.
Cutting the tape / kinesiology tape shapes
Measure the length of the desired tape shape against the part of
the body which is to be treated and cut the desired length from the
roll.
After cutting out the desired tape shape, use scissors to round off all
the corners (Fig. A).
The following tape shapes can be cut:
• I-shape (Fig. B)
• Y-shape (Fig. C)
1. Fold the article lengthways so as to create a line down its
middle.
2. Cut down the middle line of the article to a third of its
length.
• Trouser-shape (Fig. D)
1. Fold the article lengthways so as to create a line down its
middle.
2. Cut down the middle line of the article to a third of its
length.
• Eyelashes (Fig. E)
1. Turn the article round so that you can see the lines that are
drawn onto the paper.
2. Cut along the pre-drawn longitudinal lines to two thirds of
the length of the article.
Detach the paper
The article is on backing paper which must be removed.
Important! Don't touch the adhesive surface of the article
because doing so will make the article less adhesive.
1. Take hold of the article that has been cut to size.
2. Pull at both ends until the paper tears (Fig. F).
3. Detach the paper, beginning on the tear side (Fig. G). Slightly
stretching the tape makes it easier to detach the paper.
Neck
Note: In this case it would be useful for a second person to
help you to stick the article in place.
Can help to alleviate tautness in the shoulder and neck area.
1. Determine the length that is needed based on your neck
musculature.
2. Prepare the article in an I-shape.
3. Lean your head to the opposite side so that tension is
produced in the neck muscles.
4. Stick the slightly tensioned article to the body part. The ends
should be stuck in place without any tension being applied
(Fig. H).
Shoulder
Note: In this case it would be useful for a second person to
help you to stick the article in place.
Can help to reinforce the feeling of stability and motion in the
shoulder joint.
1. Determine the desired length based on the layout of your
shoulder musculature.
2. Prepare two articles in an I-shape.
3. Stick the first article in place on the shoulder from above
using a high degree of tension.
4. Stick the second article to the shoulder from the side using
a high degree of tension (Fig. I).
Back
Note: In this case it would be useful for a second person to
help you to stick the article in place.
Can be applied when you are in a standing position in order to
help reduce postural weaknesses. Can be applied when you
are bent forwards in order to relieve the lower back muscles.
1. Prepare two long, I-shaped articles.
2. Stick the articles in place on your back to the left- and right-
hand side of the spine without applying any tension (Fig. J).
Thigh
Can have a beneficial effect in the case of tenseness, cramps,
pulled muscles and torn muscles. Can also be used in the case
of certain knee problems, since the perception of knee flexion/
extension can be improved if the article is correctly stuck in
place.
1. Determine the desired length based on your thigh
musculature.
2. Prepare the article in an I-shape.
3. Bend the leg that you want to apply the tape to.
4. Stick the article to the thigh along the thigh muscle (Fig. K).

Knee
Can be used in the case of soft tissue swellings.
1. Prepare two eyelash-shaped articles which match the size of
your knee.
2. Sit down and gently bend your knee.
3. Stick the end of the first article (without eyelashes) to the hollow of
your knee.
4. Stick each eyelash in place individually so that the eyelashes
are arranged over the knee in a fan shape.
5. Stick the end of the second article (without eyelashes) to the
outside of your knee.
6. Stick each individual eyelash over the eyelashes of the first
article in a fan shape (Fig. L).
Achilles tendon / calf
Note: In this case it would be useful for a second person to
help you to stick the article in place.
Can be used in the case of inflammations and strains affecting
the Achilles tendon and the adjacent calf muscle area.
1. Determine the desired length based on the layout of your
Achilles tendon and calf muscles.
2. Prepare one double I-shaped article and one I-shaped article.
3. Hold the I-shaped article and raise your ankle.
4. Stick one end of the article to your ankle and place your an-
kle on the floor.
5. Pull the paper off smoothly and stick the article to the Achilles
tendon / calf.
6. Raise your ankle and stick one end of the double I-shaped
article to the first article.
7. Pull the paper off smoothly and stick the "trouser legs" of the
article around the left- and right-hand side of the calf (Fig. M).
Special case:
Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhoea)
Note: In this case it would be useful for a second person to
help you to stick the article in place.
1. Find the point on your back where the first sacroiliac joint is
(S1). It is situated in the extension of the spinal column.
2. Prepare four I-shaped articles of about 10 cm in length.
3. While applying a high degree of tension, stick the four articles
in place crosswise over the point on your back.Make sure that
you do not apply any tension when sticking the ends of the
articles down (Fig. N).
Special case: Thigh muscle tear
1. Prepare two Y-shaped articles according to the size of the
part of your body which is to be taped.
2. Stick the articles in place on top of each other on the muscle
tear (Fig. O).
Special case: Calf muscle tear
1. Prepare four short, I-shaped articles.
2. Stick the articles on top of one another on the painful spot (Fig. P).
Special case: Supraspinatus tendinitis
Can be used in the case of injuries/inflammations of the
supraspinatus muscle and its tendon.
1. Determine the desired length based on the layout of your
shoulder musculature. Measure out three large segments on
the back of the article (approx. 15 cm).
2. Prepare the article in an I-shape.
3. Turn the bent arm behind your back on the side on which the
shoulder is to be taped
4. Stick the article (applying slight tension) to the shoulder
along the upper edge of the shoulder blade (Fig. Q).
Removing the article
Keep the article flush with the skin as you pull it off. Then remove
any adhesive residues by using a disinfectant or Vaseline.
Note: The longer you leave the article on the skin, the easier it is
to remove. Removing the article may be unpleasant if the skin is
slightly hairy. We therefore recommend shaving the part that it is
to be stuck on beforehand. Do not stick the article in place imme-
diately after shaving the area.
Cleaning and care
• The article can only be used once in its cut form.
• Dry the article if it has become wet (e.g. as a result of swim-
ming, bathing or showering).
Please note: Do not rub the article to dry it out as this will
make it come off the skin.
Storage
• Keep the article in a cool, dry place and protect it from direct
sunlight.
• Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
Instructions for disposal
Please dispose of the article in an environmentally responsible
way by using a registered waste disposal firm or your local
authority disposal facility. When doing so please adhere to the
currently applicable regulations.

Leveringsomfang
2 x kinesiologi-tape (2 x: 500 x 5 cm)
1 x brugsanvisning
Erklæret formål
Dette produkt er beregnet til at placere på huden. Når den
elastiske tape klæbes udspændt på huden, overfører den ikke
kun sin spændkraft til huden, men forstærker denne ved at
danne et ekstra tekstillag.
Ved korrekt anvendelse kan den elastiske tape bidrage til stabi-
lisering af led samt til afspænding og lindring af muskelsmerter.
Spændkraften kan virke stimulerende på huden og dens lymfekar,
hvilket kan virke fremmende på afløbet af vævsvæske og en
dermed væsentlig reduktion af hævelsen.
Indikationer
Den elastiske tape kan anvendes som støtte ved:
• postural deficit (holdningsbesvær)
• ledinstabilitet
• muskelspændinger
• muskelsmerter
• menstruationssmerter
Kontraindikationer
Må ikke – eller kun efter aftale med din læge – anvendes ved:
• åbne kvæstelser
• hudsygdomme
• trombose
• behandlinger med andre metoder
(f.eks. fango, massagebehandling, irritationsbehandling)
• allergi over for materialet i produktet, klæbemidlet eller selen
• kroniske lidelser i anvendelsesområdet
Sikkerhedsanvisninger
Ved akutte kvæstelser eller komplekse indikationer bør du
lade en læge eller en fysioterapeut klæbe produktet på.
Produktet skal opbevares utilgængeligt for børn.
Gravide personer bør tage en læge med på råd forud for
påklæbning af produktet.
Klæb ikke produktet på med for høj tilspænding. Der må
ikke være for meget tryk.
Lad produktet blive på huden i maksimalt syv dage.
Den del af kroppen, som skal behandles, må ikke omvikles
helt med produktet!
Må ikke anvendes ved hudsygdomme og irritation som
f.eks. neurodermitis.
