Free delivery from €100 For scar and bruise taping, I recommend CureTape Classic. The skin-friendly adhesive is gentle on sensitive skin around healing tissue. Only apply the tape once the wound has fully closed. If you are unsure whether your scar is ready for taping, consult a physiotherapist, dermatologist or your GP.
