A patch comprising a backing layer and a adhesive layer formed on the back
face of the backing layer wherein a woven fabric or a nonwoven fabric
made of a rayon and pulp fiber mixture is employed as the backing layer
and the mixing ratio thereof is from 3:7 to 7:3. When employed in taping
a finger, a wrist, an ankle, neck, an elbow, a knee or the like, the
patch would not soon curl up or peel off at an overlapping part. After
the patch is adhered and then stripped off, no fiber piece remains on the
pressure-sensitive adhesive face of the backing layer so that the
adhesive force of the patch can be sustained in the case of re-adhesion.
