Description and properties
Hypafix
® transparent is a trans- parent and waterproof polyure- thane film coated with a very skin-friendly polyacrylate adhe- sive. The waterproof film offers optimal protection for the wound. It is waterproof and a bacterial barrier. Its semi-per- meable structure allows the skin to breathe thus reducing the risk of macerations. The extra-thin film conforms like a second skin to the contours of the body, including joints and extremities. The transparency of the film keeps the dressing inconspicuous and allows visual inspection of the wound envi- ronment at all times. Hypafix
® transparent is easy to apply due to its innovative application system.
