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.

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)

Been using Hypafix for over 20 years. Started using it with my mom’s colostomy pouch to secure it to her skin and it never leaked; flexible with superior adhesion and always painless, easy to remove. It’s breathable and remains in place even when perspiring. Great product!

Nice tape. Adheres well but doesn’t hurt skin and easy to remove.

seals bandaged wounds well

I ordered this because it's the tape my Dr. used to secure guaze over stitches. I was totally unfamiliar with anything beyond a band-aid for similar usage. It works/sticks well, however it would be helpful to have instructions on how to cut & remove a specific size that wouldn't wind up 30 min. later in a rolled up ball of sticky tape.

This tape is great for taping non adhesive bandages to your wound without being harsh on your skin!

perfect for bandaging

This is a great tape for wound care

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!

Good quality medical tape. I cannot find this in pharmacies in Quebec, so Amazon came through for me

Love this! It sticks great but not enough that it hurts when removing. Great for little kids if you need something like this for them.
