freely into an absorbent secondary dressing. Suitable for covering

ulcers.

conformable and extensible. It is widely used to provide a moist wound
environment for superficial wounds; also ideal for use as a secondary
dressing.
HYPAFIX
Conformable, Adhesive Retention Tape : self-adhesive, non-woven fabric
sheet for secure and rapid fixation. Provides complete coverage of the
entire dressing, thus reducing the risk of contamination. Conformability
that simplifies shaping around joints and awkward body contours to
allow greater freedom of movement. Permeable to both air and moisture,
helping to reduce the risk of maceration.
