Comfortable And Conformable Wide-Area Fixation
Hypafix is a self-adhesive fixation fabric designed to secure and retain wound dressings over small or large areas. Instead of using several strips of conventional surgical tape, Hypafix can be cut from the roll to provide broader, more consistent coverage around a dressing.
The soft, stretchable non-woven polyester material adapts closely to the contours of the body. This makes Hypafix particularly useful around joints and areas requiring flexibility, such as elbows and knees, where movement needs to be accommodated without unnecessary restriction.
Hypafix is breathable and uses a skin-friendly adhesive designed to hold dressings securely, including in the presence of moisture. It is not made with natural rubber latex.
Key Benefits
- Wide-area fixation: Designed for securing primary wound dressings over both small and larger areas.
- Soft and conformable: The stretchable non-woven polyester adapts well to body contours.
- Suitable around joints: Its flexibility makes Hypafix particularly useful around frequently moving areas such as elbows and knees.
- Breathable: The non-woven material allows the skin beneath the fixation area to breathe.
- Secure adhesion: The skin-friendly adhesive helps retain dressings safely, including in the presence of moisture.
- Cut to the size you need: Simply cut the required amount from the roll to suit the dressing and application area.
- No natural rubber latex: Hypafix is not made with natural rubber latex.
How To Use Hypafix
- Cut a suitable piece of Hypafix from the roll to provide the required coverage around the dressing.
- Remove the protective backing to expose the adhesive surface.
- Position the Hypafix carefully over the dressing or item requiring fixation.
- Smooth the material gently into position, allowing it to conform naturally to the contours of the body.

Who Is It Suitable For?
Hypafix is designed for wide-area fixation of primary wound dressings and is particularly useful where flexibility and conformability are important. It can be used on both small and large surgical or wound sites and around contoured or frequently moving areas of the body.
Hypafix can also be used for securing medical devices such as tubes, catheters, measuring devices and instruments. It is suitable for home healthcare and first aid supplies as well as clinical and professional healthcare environments.
Hypafix Or Mefix: Which Should I Choose?
Hypafix and Mefix are both self-adhesive non-woven fixation products designed to secure dressings over a wider area than conventional surgical tape. Both can be cut to the required size and conform to the contours of the body.
Hypafix is particularly well suited to wide-area dressing fixation and areas requiring flexibility, including joints such as elbows and knees.
Mefix is another excellent option for securing dressings, tubes and cannulas and provides soft, conformable fixation that can be cut to the required shape.
For smaller everyday fixation jobs, 3M Micropore 2.5cm Surgical Tape provides a narrower, breathable paper tape. For transparent fixation with easy bi-directional tearing, consider 3M Transpore 2.5cm Surgical Tape or 3M Transpore 5cm Surgical Tape.
