Hy-Tape & Securing Ostomy Pouches

A Secure, Watertight Hold Without Discomfort

Skin comfort and wear time are daily challenges ostomy patients can experience. Often times these issues can prevent those with with ostomy pouches from living an active lifestyle.

Hy-Tape is the solution to these concerns. When applied to clean, dry skin, Hy-Tape provides a waterproof protective seal around the edges of the appliance. Those who experience reactions to adhesives often find that our non-reactive qualities leave skin healthy and intact. Hy-Tape is latex free so those with latex allergies need not worry. The tape is thin and conforming which helps taping difficult areas. Our unique formula includes a zinc-oxide based adhesive which soothes the skin. Finally our tape is designed to release gently as the adhesive does not get any tackier as body temperature rises.
