Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape 2 Inch x 10 Yards - Pack of 2 Rolls, Original Version

This is an excellent German medical product. I've been an allergy mess since childhood. Plenty of allergies from airborne pollen. Plus a synergistic allergy effect from food allergies to dairy, eggs, etc. Those allergies express themselves in skin rashes and nasal congestion. Now, in my dotage years, I have a stomach G tube needed for drugs, etc. Since there is stomach leakage, I need to dress the opening several times a day. I am allergic to most adhesives used in many of the so-called "hypoallergenic"tapes. I stumbled onto Hypafix brand tape on Amazon. It works great for me. If you have sensitive skin that turns into rashes when you use most other brands of tape, give this one a try. You very well could be pleasantly surprised. Great product!

This is really nice bandage tape, it’s easy to remove from skin and for me it was painless and didn’t leave any residue like a band aid

HYPAFIX did NOT bother my skin, and it is very BREATHABLE. it also sticks to WEEPING skin common with stony problems. I have skin folds that sweat and I use this product for tissue degradation and getting my ostomies to stay longer.I first apply calamine lotion on the very weepy areas, I let the Calamine dry for a brief time. ORIGINAL calamine lotion drys and absorbes weeping the best for me and and drys quickly. Although i have several retention product options , only the HYPAFIX tape adheres to the lotion , or yeast cream etc and still STICKS! Yet can also be removed easily. I am amazed at this since I used a McKesson tape that seemed to be identical, but I went into a "scratching scraping rage" with that, whereas - for whatever reason HYPAFIX did not make me scratch so badly.* Note to usage * use sharp szizzors from the paper side to cut. If you cut from the cloth side, it sticks to the szizzors. not a really big deal but annoying. ALSO: After it is cut, it is hard to get off the paper backing, BUT here is the fool proof trick. Place your finger or thumb on the TAPE side, on the OUTER EDGE of the tape strip and lightly pull your finger over the tape towards the middle. It will start to come off the backing and then you can easily apply. I start on the middle edge verses either end, but try what works best. ALSO it is 2 INCHES wide but is split - when you want that width to one inch. I use both for different sites. HYPAFIX also sticks to the cloth of an ostomy bag and skin simultaneously if you want it too. I certainly would try it. at $10 for 10 YARDS it is a great bargain and many home uses too. I will try and attach photos when I figure how to send them on this site.

I'm a repeat customer. I love this stuff for my first aid kit. It treats and prevents blisters and hotspots, will hold a bandaid in place, prevents chafe, can be customized for any shape- knuckles, heels, knees. If you round the edges it will stay in place longer than duct tape. It allows the skin to breathe while still reducing friction and it's thinner and lighterweight than duct tape.

This retention tape was suggested for a family member's wound because it is strong, yet gentle enough, to keep packing strips in place before bandaging.

Best tape ever! Lasts through showers and keeps wound clean and doesn’t irritate the skin! My surgeon suggested I purchase after changing my wounds and seeing her use it at her clinic. Highly recommend

This has to be the best medical tape I've found for people that are sensitive to tapes on their skin and I've tried them all through the years!! I have a skin condition where I breakout in abcesses all the time and have to tape bandages. Most tapes immediately start breaking me out and sometimes rips my skin. My new doctor told me to try this and it's been a God send to me!! It's super easy to peel and stick. It sticks for as long as you leave it on your skin and I've left it for 2 days one time. My only complaint is I wish it came in a clear tape and different sizes since it's so wide.

Best tape I have ever used for medical dressings. Sticks great, breathes, and painless removal. Really a step up from typical tapes.
