Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape: 2" X 11 Yds Each

Love this tape. It’s the best. Lightweight, breathable, flexible and best of all it adheres to skin easily and stays in place. The removable backing removes easily and is marked in increments so it can be cut to exact length needed. Will definitely be buying again and definitely recommend.

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)

My Moh's surgeon uses this. It covers wound dressings...really sticks, lifts off easily and does not irritate the skin.

My mom has a large wound are. This tape does a fantastic job of keeping her dressings in place. It sticks to her skin and the abdominal pads. I use adhesive remover wipes to remove the tape. She has sensitive skin and that’s why I don’t try just pulling it off.

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.

This tape was first given to us by the dermatology clinic at UCSF. My husband is very sensitive to all tapes. This is all we use now with no problems!

This tape stays stuck, but doesn't hurt taking it off. It is the best for keeping a gauze pad over stitches.

Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape works great for securing dressings and medical devices. It provides a strong, reliable hold while still being flexible and comfortable to wear. I especially appreciate that it does not irritate sensitive skin. It stays in place well without causing redness or discomfort, making it a great option for longer wear. It’s easy to apply, dependable, and has become a product I trust for keeping dressings secure.

Great dressing, easy to apply, able to pat dry if dressing is wet after shower,wound able to breathe & heal.

This is great tape for holding gauze or pads in place or keeping the edges of hydrocolloid tape from lifting off. It has great adhesion and has yet to irritate my skin, unlike many conventional bandages, even after leaving it on for days. It is not waterproof, but the adhesive doesn't break down once it gets wet, so it keeps sticking. It is very lightweight and flexible, too, so it works anywhere you need it, even on joints.

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

This tape is really great. It sticks very well to the skin and is painless when removed. There is lots of it in the box. The tricky part is getting the backing off before use, but well worth any struggle.

I have used this medical tape over the past 6 years to affix/hold down gauge on minor wounds (cuts/scrapes) and the tape doesn’t fail. The tape is very flexible, soft and easy to pull off when it has to be changed or removed. Better than any band aid out there, highly recommended. Added plus, it will last a long time because you get 30-33 feet of it.
