Frequently asked questions
Is this tape safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, Hy-Tape is formulated with a zinc oxide-based adhesive. This specialized material is specifically designed to be gentle upon removal, making it an excellent choice for patients who require frequent dressing changes and need to protect delicate or sensitive skin.
Will this tape stay on while showering?
Absolutely. Hy-Tape is engineered for superior waterproof performance. It remains effective even when exposed to liquids, ensuring your dressings or medical devices stay securely in place during bathing or in other moist environments.
Can it stick to oily or hairy skin?
Yes, Hy-Tape is highly versatile. Its unique adhesive formula is designed to conform to complex body contours and provide a reliable, firm hold even on challenging surfaces like oily or hairy skin where standard medical tapes often fail.
What is the benefit of the zinc oxide adhesive?
The zinc oxide provides two main advantages:
- Strong Hold: It ensures the tape stays in place reliably.
- Gentle Release: It prevents the trauma and irritation to the skin that often occurs with standard, more aggressive medical adhesives.
Can this be used for wound care?
Yes, Hy-Tape is specifically engineered to meet the demands of critical care applications. It is ideal for wound care protocols because it balances a long-lasting hold with a gentle release that protects the skin around the wound site.
Is this tape sterile?
No, this specific product variant is non-sterile. It is designed for securing dressings and medical devices in clinical and home care settings.
How wide is the tape roll?
Each roll of Hy-Tape features a width of 2 inches and a total length of 5 yards.
Does it come with a storage spool?
Yes, each roll of Hy-Tape is provided with a plastic spool end to help maintain the integrity of the tape and keep it organized during use.
Is the pink color purely cosmetic?
Yes, the tape is distinctively pink. Beyond its appearance, it is the same high-performance, waterproof, and zinc-oxide infused material trusted for critical care applications.
How flexible is this tape?
Hy-Tape is highly conformable, meaning it is designed to smoothly adapt to irregular body contours. This flexibility ensures that the tape maintains its seal even as you move or when applied to difficult areas of the body.
