What is Hypafix Dressing Tape?

Hypafix Dressing Tape is a non-woven, adhesive fixation tape that is soft, flexible, and highly conformable. This versatile tape is designed to securely hold dressings, wound pads, catheters, and other medical devices in place on the skin, without causing irritation. Hypafix is suitable for a wide range of applications in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings, making it an essential component of any wound care kit.

Key Features of Hypafix Dressing Tape

• Soft and Flexible: Hypafix is made from a soft, non-woven material that conforms easily to the contours of the body, even on awkward or highly mobile areas. This flexibility ensures that the tape stays securely in place, even during movement.
• Gentle Adhesion: The hypoallergenic adhesive used in Hypafix is designed to be gentle on the skin, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin or those who require long-term dressing applications. It adheres securely while minimising the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
• Breathable Design: Hypafix allows the skin to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration and promoting a healthier healing environment. Its breathable nature also makes it comfortable for the patient, even during extended use.
• Secure Hold: Despite its gentle feel, Hypafix provides a strong, reliable hold that keeps dressings and devices in place. This reduces the need for frequent adjustments, ensuring continuous protection of the wound area.
• Customisable Sizing: Hypafix Dressing Tape can be easily cut to the required size, making it highly versatile for different wound care needs. Whether you need a small strip to secure a catheter or a larger piece to cover a wound dressing, Hypafix can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.
• Transparent and Discreet: Hypafix is designed to be discreet and transparent, blending in with the skin for a less noticeable appearance. This feature is particularly beneficial for patients who are self-conscious about visible dressings.

How to Use Hypafix Dressing Tape

Using Hypafix Dressing Tape is straightforward and user-friendly:

1. Begin by cleaning and drying the skin around the wound or the area where the medical device will be secured.
2. Cut the Hypafix tape to the desired size, allowing for adequate coverage of the dressing or device plus an additional margin to secure the edges firmly.
3. Peel off the backing paper to expose the adhesive side of the tape.
4. Apply the adhesive side to the skin, gently pressing down to ensure good adhesion without causing tension or discomfort.
5. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles to ensure full contact with the skin and prevent peeling or lifting.
6. For added security, particularly on areas of high movement, consider applying additional strips of Hypafix across the edges of the dressing.

When it’s time to change the dressing or remove the tape, Hypafix can be gently lifted from the skin. If any adhesive residue remains, it can be easily cleaned with soap and water or an adhesive remover, leaving the skin ready for the next application.
