Hy-Tape for Long Term Care

Keep Devices And Dressings Secure With Less Changing And Irritation, So Skin Remains Healthy And Intact.

Nurses & caregivers know that long-term dressings demands a surgical tape that removes with minimal trauma, thereby reducing the chance of skin tears, tape burns, scarring and will with-stand the bodily secretions, oils, moisture and hair that can cause adhesive breakdown. Tape curl, adhesion loss and dressing failure is the result. Skin irritation and patient discomfort is the byproduct.

Hy-Tape is durable, flexible and gently accommodates underlying tissue shifts. Although no skin prep is required for application, skin must be initially clean & oil free. Hy-Tape will then remain in place in the presence of drainage, perspiration, humidity, and oily skin. It’s thin and flexible, conforms to body contours, and remarkably, it’s just as easily removed from sensitive post-operative skin. Hy-Tape is Latex-free, zinc oxide based and non-allergenic.
