What is Hypafix Skin Sensitive BSN Silicone Adhesive Bandage used for?
When it comes to gentle medical fixation, Hypafix Skin Sensitive is one of the most skin-friendly solutions. This siliconized adhesive tape has been specially designed to protect fragile epidermis while effectively holding dressings, probes or catheters in place.
Whether for newborns or the elderly, it adapts to all types of sensitive skin, thanks to a flexible, multi-stretch material that follows the body's movements without constraint.
What sets Hypafix Skin Sensitive apart is its silicone adhesive, known for its atraumatic removal. Unlike conventional adhesives, this one enables pain-free removal, with no skin stripping or residue. This optimal skin tolerance reassures patients and healthcare professionals alike. Its airy texture prevents heating under the dressing and lets the skin breathe, reducing the risk of maceration, irritation or skin infection.
Looking for a device that lasts a long time without damaging the skin? Hypafix Skin Sensitive stays in place for up to 7 days, even after quick showers, without altering its adhesive power. What's more, this tape is radio-transparent, which means it doesn't need to be removed for medical imaging examinations. A valuable feature for long-term care, post-operative or outpatient treatment.
And that's not all: this repositionable holding strip for finishing work offers exceptional fitting comfort, even on the most demanding surfaces. No need to worry if you need to readjust it. It remains effective without loss of adhesion or skin damage. A real revolution in the world of medical adhesive tapes.
And beyond dressings, Hypafix Skin Sensitive also ensures reliable attachment of medical devices such as tubing, probes or drains. It can also be used to prevent phlyctenes, protect areas of friction, or in situations where the skin needs special attention. It's an essential ally in a care kit adapted to complex dermatological needs.
Finally, its composition is latex-, phthalate- and rosin-free, considerably reducing the risk of allergic reactions. A device designed to respect skin integrity and the strictest safety standards.
Complementing the beneficial effects of Hypafix Skin Sensitive, we also offer Elastoplast Sport Bande Adhésive Élastique 3 or 6 cm for reinforced fixation in moving areas or situations requiring firmer support.
How to use this support bandage
Unroll the Hypafix Skin Sensitive strip, choosing the desired length.

Its silicone adhesive allows painless removal, without trace or residue. The strip is radiolucent and suitable for medical imaging examinations without prior removal. Store in a dry place, away from light and heat (temperature below 50°C).

Expert advice
As part of a gentle, non-invasive skin care approach, Hypafix Skin Sensitive can help preserve the integrity of the skin barrier, particularly for patients with vulnerable skin or skin prone to superficial lesions. This type of silicone bandage is traditionally used in geriatric, pediatric and intensive care wards, where each dressing removal can represent a risk of irritation. Thanks to its air and water vapour permeability, it fits perfectly into a care protocol that respects skin physiology, and complements an adapted lifestyle.
Used with discretion and according to individual needs, it can also form part of a post-surgical care routine or during dermatological treatments requiring frequent fixation. It naturally complements a global approach, combined with dermo-protective solutions, to promote skin comfort while securing medical equipment.
