Hypafix Dressing Tape© from Smith & Nephew is a self-adhesive tape-style dressing for covering wound dressings. It's made from non-woven, breathable fabric and is coated with a hypo-allergenic adhesive for quick and easy application. Simply remove the backing and fix over the wound. Hypafix Dressing Tape© comes in a variety of sizes and widths. This helps to ensure that you can get the right amount of surface coverage you need no matter what the size or shape of the wound. What are the Benefits of Hypafix Dressing Tape©? Used in conjunction with a standard wound care dressing, Hypafix Dressing Tape© has several advantages, including: * Permeability: It allows for circulation of both air and moisture. This helps to maintain an optimal wound healing environment. * Flexibility: Hypafix Dressing Tape© moves with the body. It will not pull or tear, making it ideal for even places like elbows, knees and other joints. * Reduces risk of contamination: Used with another wound care dressing, it doubles the amount of protection to the wound, keeping out bacteria and other harmful microbes. * Radiotransparent: It need not be removed for x-rays or radiotherapy, meaning less disruption to healing wounds. Hypafix Dressing Tape© can also be used to secure catheters or drainage tubes. Its adhesive side sticks securely and painlessly to the skin, yet is also easily removed. |
