Strong hold and gentle on sensitive skin!
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.

It’s the Real Deal!
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.

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

Great tape abdominal wound pads and 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.

No rash from the adhesive
I tried this on recommendation of a nurse that we know, and I am very happy that it does not cause any kind of skin rash like regular adhesive. It holds well, and the price is reasonable for what you get.

Awesome tape with no irritation
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)

Excellent for mouth taping
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.

Best there is
By far the best medical tape on the market. Once on clean dry skin it doesn’t come off (unless you want it too) Stays on all day even when fairly wet..
