BSN Medical Hypafix Stretch Non-Woven Skin Sensitive Dressing 5cm X 10m Roll

Why Choose BSN Medical Hypafix Stretch?

Dressing fixation requires a balance of competing properties: strong enough adhesion to keep the dressing secure during movement and washing, gentle enough adhesion to avoid trauma on removal, flexible enough fabric to conform to curved body surfaces without lifting or gapping, and breathable enough construction to support the wound environment rather than occluding it. Rigid adhesive tapes and standard non-stretch fixation products fail at one or more of these requirements — they lift from curved surfaces, cause pain and skin stripping on removal, or restrict patient movement. Hypafix Stretch is engineered around all four. The stretchable non-woven fabric moves with the body rather than resisting it, maintaining consistent contact with the skin surface over joints, limbs, and body contours without peeling at the edges. The skin-sensitive adhesive provides reliable hold during wear but releases more gently than standard surgical tape, reducing the epidermal stripping and skin trauma that are common causes of wound periwound skin breakdown in patients requiring frequent dressing changes. The breathable non-woven construction allows vapour and air exchange at the skin surface, reducing maceration risk during extended wear. The 5cm width and 10m roll length allow the tape to be cut to any desired length for custom application across a wide range of wound sizes and securement needs.

Key Features

• Stretchable non-woven fabric conforms to body contours — maintains contact over joints and curved surfaces
• Skin-sensitive adhesive provides secure hold while reducing skin trauma on removal
• Breathable construction supports skin health and reduces maceration during extended wear
• 5cm width — versatile for most wound dressing and device securement applications
• 10m roll length — can be cut to any desired length for customised fixation
• Suitable for sensitive or fragile skin
• Appropriate for securing wound dressings, catheters, tubes, and medical devices

Benefits

• Stretchable fabric stays in contact with curved and moving body areas without lifting at the edges
• Skin-sensitive adhesive reduces the epidermal trauma and pain associated with frequent dressing changes
• Breathable non-woven material reduces maceration and skin irritation during extended application
• Cut-to-size roll format provides flexibility across different wound sizes and securement requirements
• 10m roll provides a high-volume supply for sustained clinical or home wound care use
• Appropriate for patients with sensitive, fragile, or compromised periwound skin

Clinical & Typical Applications

Wound dressing fixation in community, home care, and clinical settings where standard surgical tape causes skin stripping or patient discomfort during removal

Patients with sensitive or fragile skin — elderly, paediatric, steroid-thinned, or radiation-treated skin — requiring a gentle adhesive retention system for wound dressings

Catheter, drain, and tube securement on body sites requiring conformable stretch fixation to accommodate patient movement without device displacement

Post-surgical wound dressing fixation where the stretchable fabric accommodates surgical site movement and oedema fluctuation during healing

Wound care programmes where repeated dressing changes require a skin-sensitive fixation tape to protect periwound skin integrity over extended treatment periods

Home care patients performing self-dressing changes who require a reliable, easy-to-apply retention tape that does not cause skin trauma during removal
