Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape: 2" X 10 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.

This is a great tape for wound care

I bought this to use for mouth taping for my (very mild) sleep apnea and it works really well. No skin irritation, flexible and thin but really strong adherence to the skin. Not painful to take off. It’s also wide enough that one piece more than covers my whole mouth. I’ve even discovered I can put my lip conditioner (pure lanolin) on *over top* of the tape after it’s on and it will penetrate because the tape is porous — and it actually seems to make the lanolin work better because it isn’t rubbing off, it’s trapped into the fibre of the tape so staying on all night. Combined with no more mouth breathing my chronically chapped lips are healing and smooth. Benefit I wasn’t expecting. A highly quality product no matter the use case, and if you’re a mouth taper, 10/10 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)
