Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I choose — 2" or 4"?
The 2" x 11 Yard roll (SN4209) is ideal for smaller wound sites, fingers, toes, or narrow areas. The 4" x 10 Yard roll (SN4210) works best for larger dressings on the torso, thigh, or back. Both sizes can be cut to any length needed.

Is Hypafix tape safe for sensitive or fragile skin?
Yes. Hypafix uses a non-irritating, water-based adhesive specifically designed for sensitive, elderly, or post-surgical skin. It removes gently without tearing or leaving significant residue.

Can Hypafix tape get wet?
Hypafix is water resistant, meaning it maintains adhesion in moist environments and can tolerate brief exposure to water. It is not fully waterproof, so prolonged submersion (e.g., swimming) is not recommended.

Is this product covered by insurance or Medicare?
Hypafix retention tape is a general wound care supply. Coverage varies by plan and clinical indication. We recommend checking with your insurance provider or healthcare professional regarding reimbursement eligibility.
