Pre-cut adhesive supports for anatomical support, pain reduction, or therapeutic treatment

A system of elongate strap supports to provide anatomical support, to reduce pain, or to provide therapeutic treatment, the system comprising:

• a first elongate strap support, including:
• a woven fabric support layer including at least fibers other than only natural fibers, wherein:
• the woven fabric support layer is shaped to form an elongate strap that is pre-cut to include rounded portions;
• the woven fabric support layer is substantially resistant to stretching in at least a first test direction specified in ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D3759;
• and
• the woven fabric support layer has a tensile strength of greater than 10 lb/in-width in the at least one direction and a thickness less than 30 mils;
• an adhesive layer on the woven fabric support layer for adhesive attachment of the woven fabric support layer to an outer skin surface of a body;
• and
• a removable cover layer on the adhesive layer;
• at least one additional elongate strap support;
• and
• a package containing the first elongate strap support and the at least one additional elongate strap support.

An elongate strap support system for anatomical support, pain reduction, or therapeutic treatment, the elongate strap support system comprising:

• a first elongate strap support including:
• a woven fabric support layer including fibers that are not natural fibers, wherein:
• the woven fabric support layer is pre-cut to form an elongate strap with rounded portions;
• the woven fabric support layer is substantially resistant to stretching in only one test direction specified in ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D3759;
• and
• the woven fabric support layer has thickness that is less than 30 mils and a tensile strength that is greater than 10 lb/in-width in at least one direction;
• an adhesive layer on the woven fabric support layer for adhesive attachment of the woven fabric support layer to an outer skin surface of a body;
• and
• a removable cover layer on the adhesive layer;
• at least one additional elongate strap support;
• and
• a package containing the first elongate strap support and the at least one additional elongate strap support.

An elongate strap support system for anatomical support, pain reduction, or therapeutic treatment, the elongate strap support system comprising:

• a first elongate strap support, including:
• a woven fabric support layer including synthetic fibers, wherein:
• the woven fabric support layer is shaped to form an elongated strap with rounded portions;
• the woven fabric support layer is substantially resistant to stretching in only one test direction specified in ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D3759;
• and
• an adhesive layer on the woven fabric support layer for adhesive attachment of the woven fabric support layer to an outer skin surface of a body;
• and
• a removable cover layer on the adhesive layer;
• at least one additional elongate strap support;
• and
• a package containing the first elongate strap support and the at least one additional elongate strap support.

A system of anatomical supports, the system comprising:

• a first elongate strap support, including:
• a support layer of a woven fabric, wherein:
• the woven fabric includes synthetic fibers and is shaped to form an elongate strap with straight portions and rounded portions;
• the woven fabric has a thickness that is less than 30 mils and a tensile strength that is greater than 10 lb/in-width;
• an adhesive layer on the support layer for adhesive attachment of the support layer to an outer skin surface of a body, wherein the adhesive layer is intermittent across the support layer;
• and
• a removable cover layer on the adhesive layer;
• at least one additional elongate strap support;
• and
• a package containing the first elongate strap support and the at least one additional elongate strap support, wherein the synthetic fibers of the woven fabric and the intermittent adhesive layer allow the first elongate strap support to be breathable.

A system of anatomical supports having enhanced breathability, the system comprising:

• a first elongate strap support, including:
• a support layer of a woven fabric, wherein:
• the woven fabric includes synthetic fibers and is shaped in an elongate strap with straight portions and rounded portions;
• the woven fabric has a thickness that is less than 30 mils and a tensile strength that is greater than 10 lb/in-width;
• an adhesive layer on the support layer for adhesive attachment of the support layer to an outer skin surface of a body, wherein the adhesive layer is intermittent across the support layer;
• and
• a removable cover layer on the adhesive layer;
• at least one additional elongate strap support;
• and
• a package containing the first elongate strap support and the at least one additional elongate strap support, wherein the synthetic fibers of the woven fabric and the intermittent adhesive layer allow the first elongate strap support to be breathable.
