Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape: 2" X 11 Yds Each

- I use this tape to hold my mouth closed while sleeping. I have not found a full-face mask that is comfortable and doesn't leak. - I tried several different pre-cut tapes. This tape works the best for me. It has the right amount of adhesion for my needs. I can remove and reapply it once or twice a night if needed. It does not have extras that I don't need; e.g. aloe vera, vitamin E, hypoallergenic, breathable, etc. - I cut a 3-3/4 inch long strip and fold one end over 1/8 inch to provide a non-stick tab for easy removal. - It costs roughly 10¢ per strip, which is cheapest solution I found.

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)

Great tape for covering skin to protect it. Super flexible and absorbent. I used it under a removable plastic custom made finger splint after tearing a tendon. Helped greatly to prevent chafing.

If you need tape for wound dressing there is no other you want to use. This tape is used by all dermatologists. It’s excellent. Will not come off until you want it to

Holds gauze in place yet easily removed. Have used it for humans and my dog

This tape can be cut easily, has lines to cut on.. tabs to open easily.. stretches & holds really good! Plus, it does not hurt when removing it. Good for sensitive skin, it is used by doctors..

We love, love, LOVE this tape. It is so soft, sticks very well (but is also super easy to remove with a mild solvent like alcohol), is EXTREMELY durable, and works perfectly with infusion sets for a Tandem Mobi insulin pump. My daughter puts this tape over the needle of her TruSteel infusion sets and also puts it underneath the little “secondary” disk that connects the infusion set to the pump tubing. She hates the adhesive under that part, as it irritates her skin and is difficult to remove. Applying that disk over a piece of Hypafix tape and then securing it to her skin with another piece of Hypafix (on top of the disk) works perfectly for her. She also uses a third tiny piece of Hypafix tape to hold that short tubing in place. Her infusion sets never move or come loose with that system. She always wears her infusion sets on her abdomen, as she already wears a Dexcom G7 on her upper arm and doesn’t want “too much stuff” in one spot. This tape is a godsend! Please, never stop manufacturing it! It’s a bargain as well.

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.

Perfect - just as pictured and described. Prompt delivery too!

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.

Fast delivery. Great for blister prevention. Easy to apply and stays on for days if you are careful - even in the shower!

This is a great tape for wound care
