Nucap Medical produces SpiderTec, a dozen pre-cut taping solutions to relieve pain and provide support. Fusing old
school Eastern technology and new school Western methodology, Nucap Medical has developed SpiderTech to
innovatively address pain management and myofascial dysfunction through the use of specialized elastic tape
applications. Made from the proven Nitto-Denko tape, the original kinesiology tape from Japan engineered to mimic the
thickness, weight and elasticity of human skin, SpiderTech is available in twelve pre-cut therapeutic and performance
enhancing supports that were created by chiropractor Dr. Kevin Jardine, an advisor to numerous professional runners,
triathletes and cycling teams.
SpiderTech and SpiderTape - the new brand name for Nitto-Denko kinesiology tape distributed by Nucap Medical - are
fabricated from high-grade cotton material with 100% acrylic, hypoallergenic adhesive. The tape is water-resistant and
breathable, and can be worn for up to five days. The ready-to-apply taping applications designed to alleviate pain and
provide support to weakened and injured areas of the body is currently offered as the Upper Knee Spider, Full Knee
Spider, Calf & Arch Spider, Shoulder Spider, Lower Back Spider, Lymphatic Spider, Hip Spider, Postural Spider, Groin
Spider, Hamstring Spider, Elbow Spider and Wrist Spider.
The origins of SpiderTech and SpiderTape are traced to the unique Nitto-Denko tape, which was developed in 1987 for a
Japanese chiropractor for kinesiology taping. The tape is accepted worldwide by professional and Olympic athletes and
was referred to as "the magic tape" in Lance Armstrong's book Every Second Counts. With more than 25 years of
product development and production, it is regarded as the elite line and world standard in kinesiology tape.
"Through clinical trials with patients, we've found SpiderTape to have a remarkable efficacy, allowing the patient to regain
pain-free mobility and resume his or her training regimen," said Dr. Jardine, an active Ironman triathlete who serves as
chief medical officer of Nucap Medical. "Teaming with one of my patients, we've formed a partnership in the development
of a complete range of engineered kinesiology taping solutions that provide therapists and clients with effective, easy-touse
treatment options." SpiderTech and SpiderTape are available at www.nucapmedical.com. Nucap Medical is the
inventor, manufacturer and exclusive worldwide distributor of SpiderTech and the exclusive North American distributor of
Nitto-Denko kinesiology tape rolls under the brand name SpiderTape. The company is presently entertaining and
negotiating agreements with distributors in the Unites States and Mexico.
