Introducing BWAS™ - Bio Waved Adhesive Silicone

BWAS™ is Wavewear's adhesive silicone technology researched and developed for six years. It is body mapped in a waved design to recreate kinesiology taping. 

BWAS™ is skin-friendly, economical and sustainable.

We developed BWAS™ through six years of research and development. Medical-grade silicone is skin-friendly and leaves no adhesive residue like regular kinesiology tapes. The wave pattern of BWAS™ makes it stick to the skin better and is sticky both in wet and dry conditions. We also took breathability into consideration, and the silicone taping part of WaveWear is as breathable as cotton.

BWAS™ does not lose adhesion after a single-use like kinesiology tapes. The adhesion is restored after a wash or wiping which makes BWAS™ reusable for semi-permanent use, and environmentally friendly compared to kinesiology tapes that need to be disposed of after a single-use.

Characteristics

Adhesive

Effectively mimics kinesiology tape and works well with sweat. 

Medical Grade

CE Medical Class 1 approved. Non toxic and safe on the skin.

Washable & Reusable

Adhesion is restored after a wash making the silicone reusable.

Stretchable

Works best when applied on fabric because it stretches with the fabric and does not peel off nor rip off.

Flexible

The ultrathin silicone mimics the elasticity of human skin, and is soft and comfortable when wearing. 

Breathable

Applied in a striped wave pattern allowing more fabric area providing more breathablity, despite the silicone.
