A retention tape is necessary to hold wound dressings in place to minimize the risk of wound infection. These retention tapes are self-adhesive with non-woven polyester fabric backing. They stick on the skin for longer and also effectively secure gauze, catheters, and drainage tubes. Wound Care offers reliable rapid fixation for wound dressing. Hypafix tape is one such retention tape that is versatile and available in four distinct sizes.
