Fixation over time supporting patients comfort

Hypafix’s strong adhesion gives peace of mind that dressings, devices and tubes will stay securely in place for up to 7 days1 , aiding healing, and supporting patients' comfort. Reliable adhesion also reduces complications from dressing leakage or accidental shift of applications.

Proven effectiveness and reliability of Hypafix vs surgical paper tapes 1

After 7 days of wear, 86% of Hypafix remains adhesive, whilst nearly one-third of surgical paper loses its adhesive power. 

The study showed patients were very satisfied and confident in the adhesion of Hypafix compared to surgical paper tapes.1

With its strong and reliable adhesion that helps keep devices and dressings secure for up to seven days, Hypafix reduces the need for unnecessary dressing changes. 1,2
