Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape: 2" X 11 Yds Each

Outstanding tape. I have very sensitive skin and am allergic to a number of adhesive products. I have had no skin issues whatsoever after over a week of dressing changes. This tape holds perfectly yet is not a problem to remove. The paper backing is split making it super easy to remove and is marked so that it is very easy to neatly cut the exact length you need. I give my highest recommendation.

My skin has always been very sensitive to irritations (no allergy, but scrape a little bit and boom. I either get a rash, some superficial bleeding, or eczema). Dressing tapes and band-aids are my arch enemies if I have to wear them for more than 2 days. I have a recurring wound in my groin area (i.e. very thin and sensitive skin), which requires dressing and changing every day for weeks, so this time, even my usual and trusty Tegaderm didn't cut it. The surrounding skin is one big rash, red, angry, dry and some spots started oozing blood. I tried several other products, like Medipore, which was better but still not great. My NP told me to try this one. I've been using it (covering non-stick gauze pads) for 10 days now, and I'm happy to report that it's *almost* great. I like that the paper on the back has square markings, making it super easy to cut the right size. The backing is also very easy to remove. The tape itself is very thin, kinda cloth-like and very flexible. And it sticks very, very well (probably the best-sticking dressing tape I've used). And surprisingly, removing it does not tear off my skin, and I've only had minimal irritation (due to the fact that my skin was already irritated to begin with), but it has not worsened it. I am trying to vary the size and orientation of my dressings to avoid sticking it to the same spots too many times, but obviously that can't be avoided on the skin right next to the wound. As I said, it's very sticky and flexible - which means I can use a small patch that's barely bigger than the gauze, no need to cover a big surrounding area. It also doesn't move at all, even with underwear seams rubbing, or leg movements. I don't feel it at all. Not waterproof but stays put when taking a shower. Win. (Side note: I strongly recommend you guys try these skin barrier wipes before using tape, it works fairly well (just don't use it on open wounds, it has alcohol) : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010PD3MGU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)

Been using Hypafix for over 20 years. Started using it with my mom’s colostomy pouch to secure it to her skin and it never leaked; flexible with superior adhesion and always painless, easy to remove. It’s breathable and remains in place even when perspiring. Great product!

The best, especially if you are sensitive to tape. Holds fast.

We love, love, LOVE this tape. It is so soft, sticks very well (but is also super easy to remove with a mild solvent like alcohol), is EXTREMELY durable, and works perfectly with infusion sets for a Tandem Mobi insulin pump. My daughter puts this tape over the needle of her TruSteel infusion sets and also puts it underneath the little “secondary” disk that connects the infusion set to the pump tubing. She hates the adhesive under that part, as it irritates her skin and is difficult to remove. Applying that disk over a piece of Hypafix tape and then securing it to her skin with another piece of Hypafix (on top of the disk) works perfectly for her. She also uses a third tiny piece of Hypafix tape to hold that short tubing in place. Her infusion sets never move or come loose with that system. She always wears her infusion sets on her abdomen, as she already wears a Dexcom G7 on her upper arm and doesn’t want “too much stuff” in one spot. This tape is a godsend! Please, never stop manufacturing it! It’s a bargain as well.

I ordered this because it's the tape my Dr. used to secure guaze over stitches. I was totally unfamiliar with anything beyond a band-aid for similar usage. It works/sticks well, however it would be helpful to have instructions on how to cut & remove a specific size that wouldn't wind up 30 min. later in a rolled up ball of sticky tape.

seals bandaged wounds well

perfect for bandaging

This is a great tape for wound care

great tape for apnea ... no smell..(very little) , goes a long way. would not want to use any other

Fast delivery. Great for blister prevention. Easy to apply and stays on for days if you are careful - even in the shower!

J'utilise ce tape pour protéger mon henné (Henna) le plus longtemps possible ! Aucun transfert et adhésif très résistant !

Using this to help hold my shoulder together after I suffered a torn rotator cuff. It’s amazing how much this helps my pain. Make sure you see a doctor or physio therapist first so you know exactly where to apply. This is fairly gentle on the skin. I can wear fro days before having any breakage to my skin
