Safety First Aid HypaPlast Pink Waterproof Strapping – 2.5cm x 5m (D7044)

Description

Genuine Safety First Aid · Part no. D7044

HypaPlast D7044 is a 2.5cm x 5m roll of pink waterproof strapping, latex free, for keeping a dressing covered where the wound is likely to meet water or oil: washing up, wet weather work, or a cut hand under a car. It bends round fingers and other awkward joints, so it stays sealed as you work.

Good to know

• When is waterproof strapping worth it? Any time the hand will be wet or oily, as in a workshop or kitchen; ordinary paper tape lifts and lets dirt reach the dressing.
• Is it safe for people with a latex allergy? It is listed as latex free, which makes it a sensible choice for a shared kit where you do not know everyone's allergies.
• How do I get a good seal? Put it on clean, dry skin, cover the whole dressing with a margin of tape all round, and smooth the edges down so water cannot creep in.

Which one?

For dry use on sensitive skin, the HypaPlast Medium Microporous Tape (D4703) is gentler; for a firm cloth tape on knuckles, the HypaBand Fabric Strapping (D4322).
