Frequently asked questions
Does this tape irritate sensitive skin?
Hy-Tape features a zinc oxide-based adhesive, which is specifically designed to be gentle on delicate or compromised skin while still providing a secure hold.
Can I use this tape while showering?
Yes, this tape is fully waterproof. It is engineered to resist moisture, making it highly effective for patients who need durable dressing securement even when exposed to water or perspiration.

Is this product sterile?

What is the benefit of the zinc oxide?

Does it leave a sticky residue behind?
Because of its specialized zinc oxide adhesive, Hy-Tape is designed to release gently from the skin. While adhesion is strong, it is formulated to minimize the discomfort and residue often associated with traditional medical tapes.
