Hypafix® consists of a white non-woven polyester substrate coated with a skin-friendly polyacrylate adhesive, providing secure and reliable dressing retention. The tape features a grid pattern printed on the release paper as a cutting guide. The integrated split liner in the release paper eases application. The soft and stretchy material allows the patient greater freedom of movement. Uses include the retention of large wound dressings, gauzes and absorbent compresses, especially on frequently moved and highly contoured parts of the body and the firm retention of instruments, probes and catheters.
