Hypafix is a low-allergy polyacrylate adhesive, non-woven fabric for dressing retention. It is air and moisture vapour permeable, offering good initial and long-term adhesion. The polyester non-woven backing combined with transverse stretch provides excellent conformability, making it ideal for contoured body areas like the knee, elbow, and shoulder. Hypafix is particularly useful for the fixation of instruments, probes, and catheters, and is also effective over joints and extremities. It allows joints to be dressed without constraining movement and provides reliable fixation for catheters and drainage tubes.
