Hey everyone,

I am very pleased to announce that our petition to re-introduce Zonas 1" tape  has been responded to by Essity HMS. Noted below is their official response:

"Hygiene and Health company, Essity, acquired Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc.’s professional sports tape brands Coach, Elastikon and Zonas at the end of 2021.  Essity expects that the 1” ZONAS tape will be available again in or around mid 2023.  In the meantime, note that the ZONAS 1”1/2  (ref. 5190)  is available and can be ordered from Essity through your distributor of choice."

In addition to their official response, Steve Reidy, Director of Specialty Distribution, conducted an in person meeting with our clinic in Chicago, IL.  In addition to Zonas tapes we were excited to learn that the 2” elastikon has been reintroduced and is available for purchase now. Steve and the Essity team will be providing status updates as progress is made. Thank you all for your help in making this happen!
