Frequently asked questions
Is the zinc oxide adhesive safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, Hy-Tape is specifically formulated with a zinc oxide-based adhesive. This unique composition serves two primary purposes:
- Skin Protection: It creates a soothing barrier that is gentle on delicate or sensitive skin.
- Minimal Trauma: It is engineered to hold securely during wear while allowing for a gentle release, significantly reducing the risk of skin irritation during dressing changes.
Will this tape stay secure on oily skin?
Absolutely. Hy-Tape is renowned for its superior adhesion even in challenging conditions. Unlike standard tapes that may slip, this medical-grade tape is designed to maintain a firm hold on:
- Oily skin surfaces
- Hairy skin areas
- Complex body contours
Is it truly effective in wet environments?
Yes, this is a fully waterproof medical tape. It is engineered to resist moisture and humidity, ensuring the dressing or device stays securely in place even when exposed to water. This makes it an excellent choice for patients who need consistent, long-term securement.
Does the tape conform well to body curves?
Hy-Tape is highly conformable. Because it is designed for critical medical applications, it is built to flex and adapt to the body’s natural contours. This flexibility ensures that the tape remains comfortable for the patient while providing a secure fit that doesn’t restrict movement.
Is this tape suitable for catheter securement?
Yes, it is highly recommended for clinical wound care and catheter securement. Its combination of a reliable, waterproof bond and skin-kind properties makes it a trusted tool for healthcare professionals who require dependable, long-term fixation.
Is the adhesive free from harsh chemicals?
The adhesive is formulated with zinc oxide, which is known for its skin-protective properties. It is also Latex Free, making it a safer option for patients with latex sensitivities or allergies.
How much tape is provided in one unit?
Each unit consists of one roll measuring:
- Width: 1/2 Inch

The tape comes protected within a sturdy, professional-grade hospital tube, ensuring it stays clean and ready for use.
Is this product considered medical-grade?
Yes, Hy-Tape is an industry-recognized, high-performance medical tape. It is manufactured specifically for professional clinical settings and adheres to strict quality standards, designated by HCPCS code A4452.
Does the tape leave a sticky residue behind?
Hy-Tape is designed to provide a secure bond that persists when needed, but the zinc oxide formulation is intended to release cleanly when it is time to remove the dressing, helping to minimize the residual stickiness often found with other tapes.
Can it be used on multiple body parts?
Because of its excellent conformability, this tape is versatile enough to be applied to almost any area of the body. Whether you are securing a dressing on a joint or a medical device on flat skin, the tape’s unique adhesive properties allow it to adhere reliably to varied surfaces.
