The BSN Medical 71443-02 Hypafix Dressing Retention Sheet (4 inch x 10 yards) is a versatile, adhesive retention sheet designed to secure wound dressings, catheters, and other medical devices in place. Hypafix is known for its excellent conformability and gentle, yet secure, adhesive, making it a preferred choice among healthcare professionals for a wide range of applications. This product is essential for ensuring that dressings remain in place, protecting the wound site and supporting optimal healing conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

Gentle Adhesive: The Hypafix Dressing Retention Sheet is coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive that is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin or those prone to allergic reactions. Despite its softness, the adhesive provides a reliable hold, ensuring that the dressing or device remains securely in place for the duration of wear.

Conformability: One of the standout features of Hypafix is its ability to conform to the body's contours. The fabric is flexible and elastic, allowing it to adhere smoothly to areas that are typically difficult to dress, such as joints, curved surfaces, and areas with movement. This ensures continuous protection and reduces the risk of the dressing becoming dislodged or uncomfortable for the patient.

Breathable Material: Hypafix is made from a porous, non-woven fabric that allows air and moisture to circulate. This breathability is crucial for maintaining a healthy wound environment, as it helps prevent moisture build-up, reduces the risk of maceration, and promotes faster healing. The material also ensures patient comfort by minimizing the risk of skin irritation.

Versatile Application: The 4-inch width and 10-yard length make Hypafix suitable for a wide range of uses, from securing primary wound dressings to holding catheters, IV lines, and other medical devices in place. The sheet can be easily cut to the desired size and shape, allowing for customized applications based on the patient’s needs and the specific area being treated.

Ease of Application and Removal: Hypafix is designed for easy application, with a grid backing that facilitates precise cutting. The backing is easy to peel away, allowing healthcare providers to apply the sheet smoothly and accurately. When it’s time to remove the dressing, Hypafix can be taken off without causing pain or damage to the skin, making it an ideal choice for patients who require frequent dressing changes.

Secure Hold: The adhesive strength of Hypafix ensures that the dressing or device remains firmly in place, even in high-moisture environments or areas subject to friction and movement. This reliability is particularly important in active patients or those with long-term dressing needs.

Water-Resistant: Hypafix offers a level of water resistance, protecting the wound site from moisture exposure during activities like showering. This feature helps maintain the integrity of the dressing and reduces the need for frequent changes, which can be both uncomfortable for the patient and resource-intensive for healthcare providers.

Cost-Effective: With its ability to securely hold dressings in place for extended periods, Hypafix helps reduce the frequency of dressing changes, which can be both time-consuming and costly. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a cost-effective solution for healthcare facilities and home care environments.
