While its hard-to-miss appearance has gained a lot of buzz recently, many still wonder about its intended purpose. The theory is that when muscles are injured or overused, lymphatic fluids build up and result in increased pressure and physical pain. It is thought that by lifting the skin with the tape, muscle tissue is decompressed to improve the flow of lymphatic fluid. This concept also provides for increased blood flow, helping to flush out excess toxins.

Also, before you think about not using the photo mount spray I would like to stop you and tell you that you absolutely should. I realized during this process that I never want to build these again and while gaffer tape is incredible and durable, the spray helps it last that much longer. I have definitely had gaffer tape peel off of various projects in the past. Also use gaffer tape. Not any other kind. Gaffer tape is made of fabric fibers which is what gives it flexibility. You’re going to want that flexibility for the hinges. Duct tape, while it seems durable enough, is made of vinyl and doesn’t have the same flexibility properties as gaffer tape.

The new standards are based on sound research, data and safety testing. These guidelines are a collaborative effort to improve ambulance safety. Educate yourself on the new standards and adopt their recommendations into your ambulance design.
