Hypafix Adhesive Tape 5cm x 5m Hypafix is a self-adhesive, non-woven fabric sheet for secure & rapid fixation. It is made from white polyester material & coated with hypoallergenic adhesive on quick-release backing paper. Hypafix also provides complete coverage of the entire dressing, thus reducing the risk of contamination. Its excellent conformability simplifies shaping around joints & awkward body contours to allow the patient greater freedom of movement. The tape is permeable to both air & moisture, helping to reduce the risk of maceration. Hypafix is also radiotransparent, so it does not have to be removed for either radiotherapy or X-ray examinations.
