OrthoFoam 10cm x 5m roll

This foam padding roll has an adhesive backing, so you cut a piece, press it over the spot that needs cushioning, and it stays put without wrapping the whole limb. That is the difference between it and a plain underwrap: it sticks where you place it, which suits padding a boot pressure point or softening a hard brace edge before a player will wear it.

This is a 10cm x 5m roll of adhesive foam padding, cut to size on the bench and placed exactly where a hard edge or a pressure point sits. The foam gives a cushioning layer between the skin and whatever presses on it: the top of a boot, the rim of a brace, or a strip of rigid strapping. Because the backing is adhesive, it holds position on its own, so you are not relying on the tape over it to keep it in place.

The 10cm width covers a broad area and trims down to smaller pads for a narrow spot. It is the padding trainers reach for when a boot rubs the same place every game, or when a brace edge needs softening before it goes on. One 5m roll gives plenty of cut-to-shape pieces for a season on the bench or in the kit bag.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, dispatched nationally and stocked at the East Bendigo walk-in, with phone advice from people who strap tape themselves. The padding sits alongside the underwrap and the rest of the strapping range, so a club can order the padding and the tape that goes over it in one go.

Usage

Cut a piece to cover the area you want to pad, then peel and press it onto clean, dry skin over the pressure point or under where the strapping or brace will sit. Smooth it down so the edges lie flat, then apply the tape or fit the brace over the top as normal. To remove, lift an edge and peel it back slowly.

Care and storage

Store the roll somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sun. Keep it in its packaging between uses so the adhesive stays clean.

Common questions

How is this different from foam underwrap? This foam has an adhesive backing, so it sticks in place over a specific spot. Underwrap is non-adhesive and wraps a whole limb, held by the tape over it.

Does it go under strapping tape? Yes. It works as a padding layer under rigid or elastic strapping, or on its own over a pressure point.

How big is it? 10cm wide and 5m long per roll, which you cut down to the size and shape you need.

Will it hold on its own? Yes. The adhesive backing holds it in position, so it does not rely on the tape to stay put.

Layer it under the strapping tape it pads beneath, then pick up the underwrap and the rest of the strapping accessories that go over it for the full pre-taping kit.
