Free delivery from €100 For most hand and finger complaints, I recommend using CureTape Classic. The cotton is very flexible and it follows the natural movement of your hand and fingers. Generally, the tape can stay on for up to 7 day depending on how many friction you have on your hard. Try to combine taping with mobility and grip-strengthening exercises. If your symptoms don’t improve, consult a physiotherapist or your GP.
