Description

HYPAFIX DRESSINGS by BSN Medical offer a versatile solution for secure wound care management. These self-adhesive dressings are available in non-woven fabric and transparent film variants, designed to effectively fixate wound dressings, medical devices, catheters, and tubes. Their hypoallergenic adhesive, available in both acrylic and silicone, ensures compatibility with sensitive skin, providing a gentle yet reliable hold.

Key Features

• Conformability: The dressings are highly conformable, allowing them to adhere seamlessly to joints and contoured body areas without restricting movement.
• Breathability: Both fabric and film options are permeable to air and moisture, promoting skin health by reducing the risk of maceration.
• Radiotransparency: These dressings do not interfere with X-rays or radiotherapy, eliminating the need for removal during such procedures.

Waterproof and Protective

The transparent film variant offers waterproof protection, acting as a barrier against bacteria while allowing visual inspection of the wound. This makes it particularly suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Easy Application and Removal

HYPAFIX DRESSINGS can be easily trimmed to the desired size, with some variants featuring a split liner or grid pattern for straightforward application. Removal is painless, leaving no adhesive residue and minimizing trauma to the skin.

Durable and Long-lasting

With strong initial and permanent adhesion, these dressings provide durable fixation, with some variants lasting up to seven days. This longevity reduces the need for frequent changes, offering convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Suitable for Sensitive Skin

The gentle touch variant, coated with silicone, is specifically designed for fragile or sensitive skin. It is re-adjustable and water-repellent, providing a secure yet gentle hold that can be repositioned as needed.

Intended Uses

Ideal for securing primary wound dressings, such as gauze or absorbent pads, and medical devices on highly mobile or contoured body areas. They are particularly beneficial in post-surgical care and general wound management, ensuring that dressings remain securely in place.

Application Guidelines

To apply, cut the dressing to extend at least 2 cm beyond the edge of the primary dressing. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application, and smooth the dressing to achieve even adhesion. Avoid tension during application to prevent skin damage.

Storage Instructions

Store HYPAFIX DRESSINGS in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The product boasts a shelf life of up to five years, depending on the variant, ensuring long-term availability for healthcare needs.

Safety Precautions

Not intended for use directly on wounds or on infected wounds unless using the gentle touch variant. Users with known sensitivities to acrylic or silicone adhesives should exercise caution.

Environmental Considerations

As a CE Class I medical device, HYPAFIX DRESSINGS adhere to regulatory standards, with disposal recommended through controlled incineration or landfill in accordance with local guidelines.
