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.

Best tape we have used so far for wound coverage and adhesion without residue

This tape can be cut easily, has lines to cut on.. tabs to open easily.. stretches & holds really good! Plus, it does not hurt when removing it. Good for sensitive skin, it is used by doctors..

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)

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 purchased this in a trial and error test of my own. I am diabetic and love the Dexcom continuous glucose monitor system. However, I can no longer use it because my skin has a horrible reaction to the adhesive on the Dexcom product that is applied directly to my skin. I am trying to find a barrier between my skin and their product that will allow me to use my Dexcom system. My skin had no reaction using this product (Hypafix), however, I need it to stick for 1 week at a time and this product will only stick for a couple days at best. For someone that needs to change dressing at least once a day, this is a great product. For my experiment, it was a failure. I have also tried Skin Tac Wipes. Although this was a great long lasting adhesive, it was not a good barrior between my skin and the Dexcom product. I still had a bad reaction using the Skin Tac. It was not the Skin Tac that caused the reaction because the reaction that I had was in the shape of the Dexcom product only. My next experiment is going to be using the Skin Tac wipe and the Hypafix on top of that then apply the Dexcom product. I really like the Dexcom 7 and the Dexcom G4 for continuous monitoring or I would not be spending all this time and money trying to find a way to be able to continue using it. Yes, I have asked the medical supply company if they have something for sensitive skin, which they do not and they are not allowed to suggest any solutions.

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

This stuff is great for sensitive skin and extended use. Stays in place even with sweat or showering, but doesnt irritate sensitive skin

This is a great tape for wound care

I bought this to use for mouth taping for my (very mild) sleep apnea and it works really well. No skin irritation, flexible and thin but really strong adherence to the skin. Not painful to take off. It’s also wide enough that one piece more than covers my whole mouth. I’ve even discovered I can put my lip conditioner (pure lanolin) on *over top* of the tape after it’s on and it will penetrate because the tape is porous — and it actually seems to make the lanolin work better because it isn’t rubbing off, it’s trapped into the fibre of the tape so staying on all night. Combined with no more mouth breathing my chronically chapped lips are healing and smooth. Benefit I wasn’t expecting. A highly quality product no matter the use case, and if you’re a mouth taper, 10/10 recommend.

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!

This is great stuff if you have a cut or an open wound. Helps it heal faster and stays on pretty well even with a couple of showers.
