Product benefits

Easy application

Can be trimmed to the right size for individual requirements and easily applied by removing the backing paper.

Flexible and stretchable

Transversally stretchable; makes it ideally suited to joints and frequently moved; highly contoured areas of the body.

Permeable to air and water vapour

Being permeable to air and water vapour allows the skin to breathe; helping to prevent maceration.

Prevents constriction

Prevents constriction; congestion and disturbance of blood circulation.

Chemically inert to rubber and plastics

Chemically inert to rubber and plastics; it´s ideal for securing tubes; catheters; measuring devices and instruments; or dressings of all types.

Radiotransparent

Well-suited for use in medical settings; since there’s no need to remove for x-rays.

Skin-friendly

Wide area fixation that is not only highly adhesive; but also kind to sensitive skin.

Highly adhesive

Good initial and permanent adhesive power mean you can rely on it to stay in place.

How to use Hypafix

How to use Hypafix
1. Cut off an appropriate size

Cut off an appropriate length using a pair of clean, sharp scissors to prevent the shredding of edges and contamination.



2. Remove the first protective foil

Place the dressing on a flat surface and peel off one half of the protective film with thumb and index finger.



3. Apply and remove the second protective film

Place the dressing centrally on the wound. Make sure that you only touch the dressing on the protective film and the backside. Peel off the remaining protective film.



4. Smooth out and press

Smooth out the dressing so that it adheres evenly. Apply only slight pressure and avoid tension. To increase the adhesive strength, you can warm the dressing between the palms of your hands before applying it.

In this video we learn how Hypafix is used for abrasion treatment. We see the hands of an HCP cutting to size and applying a large dressing to the abrasion on a woman patient's shoulder.

Here we demonstrate that Hypafix stretch medical tape is suitable for use on different parts of the body. We see the hands of an HCP cutting to size five different shapes.

In this video we learn how Hypafix stretch medical tape is used for securing a dressing on a joint: We see the hands of an HCP applying a dressing to the elbow of a male patient.
