LAS VEGAS, Jan. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TapeRelief™ is pleased to announce the national launch of its proprietary formula for wound care and prevention of contact dermatitis from medical tape and bandages. For a limited time, TapeRelief™ is offering complementary samples of the formula to medical professionals and the general public at www.TapeRelief.com.
Applied to the skin as a fast-drying cream, TapeRelief™ effectively prevents irritation common to frequent users of bandages and tape by creating a topical barrier between the tape or bandage and the skin. The tape or bandage then adheres to the dried layer of TapeRelief™, preventing any irritation from adhesive, moisture, and more. Additionally, TapeRelief™ includes healing and soothing ingredients such as organic oatmeal and tea tree oil to improve the underlying skin while it protects.
"We are pleased to bring this product to market after observing its necessity in wound care and other health and athletic settings," stated Athena Koler, spokesperson for TapeRelief™. "We believe our product effectively prevents secondary injuries and irritation to patients recovering from other maladies as well as frequent tape users like athletes."
In a 2009 report by the British Medical Journal (BMJ), a wound care study found "events such as maceration, allergic reaction, eczema of periulcer skin, and infection as bandage related."
"We believe that proper application of the TapeRelief™ formula can greatly improve results for patients such as those noted in the BMJ study," said Koler. "For athletes who use products like pre-wrap routinely, TapeRelief™ provides greater skin protection and the bonus of soothing the area. Visit www.TapeRelief.com to receive a sample and we think you'll agree."
