Hy-Tape® is durable, yet flexible, so it's perfect for extended wear while it gently accommodates underlying tissue shifts. It saves time by eliminating the need for skin prep and dramatically reducing the need for dressing changes for wound care, plastic surgery and ostomy securement. Although no skin prep is required for application, skin must be initially clean and oil-free. Hy-Tape® will then remain in place in the presence of drainage, perspiration, humidity and oily skin. It's thin and exible, 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.
