Hypafix Hypoallergenic Tape (10m in Length)

Skin that experiences long periods of maceration - the softening and breaking down of skin - is vulnerable to fungal and bacterial infection. If you cover your wounds with a bandage or frequently wear non-breathable materials, skin maceration can form in the area you have covered.

It is therefore important to ensure you're using breathable tape, especially when you're using it for a prolonged period of time. Hypafix Hypoallergenic Tape (10m in Length) is air and moisture permeable to prevent maceration and to let skin breathe.

How Does Hypafix Tape Work?

Designed to be hypoallergenic in order to avoid skin allergies, Hypafix Tape is ideal for those with sensitive skin. The material which is used to create the tape is air and moisture permeable, which allows air to circulate around the wound or injury. The design also ensures that moisture is not trapped against the skin, a problem that causes maceration.
