How to Use Leukoplast Hypafix
Application Instructions
Before applying Hypafix, ensure the skin surrounding the wound is clean, dry, and free from lotions, oils, or other substances that may interfere with adhesion. Cut a piece of Hypafix to a size large enough to cover the dressing or device and a margin of the surrounding skin. Apply the tape smoothly, ensuring the dressing is secure and all edges are well-adhered to the skin. This ensures optimal protection and adhesion.
Proper Application Techniques
For the best results, avoid stretching the tape during application, especially over joints, as this can affect its adhesion and comfort. Press down firmly on the tape after application to ensure good contact with the skin. Regularly check the dressing and tape for any signs of loosening or damage, replacing the dressing as necessary. Maintaining the integrity of the dressing is key for proper wound care.
- Apply to clean, dry skin for optimal adhesion.
- Avoid stretching the tape, especially over areas of movement.
- Ensure all edges are well-adhered to the skin to prevent lifting.
