Leukoplast (Essity, formerly BSN medical) makes it for wide-area fixation. It covers the whole dressing and stretches across its width to shape around joints and awkward contours, so the person can keep moving. It comes in 10m rolls, 5cm or 10cm wide, on split backing paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHolds the dressing, lets the skin breathe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut a piece to size, peel the backing and smooth it over the dressing. Hypafix is permeable to air and water vapour, which helps reduce the risk of maceration, and it's radiotransparent, so it doesn't need to come off for X-rays or radiotherapy. Because it covers the entire dressing, it also reduces the risk of casual contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in Hypafix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to apply it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut the length you need with clean, sharp scissors so the edges don't fray.
