Petri Mansvelt Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Looking for better materials to fixate our endotracheal (nasal) tubes, I came upon Hy-tape; not available in Europ but never the less. What are your experiences with the pink tape? Stays in place even when on HFO or with a lot of moist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Reed Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Good Morning, For NICU ET Tube securement the HY-Tape is NOT my first choice. In the humidified environment the tape almost melts, causing a sticky mess with tons of residue on the tape, making further tube securement difficult. Our patients typically will return from the OR with this tape and we change it immediately. I will say it is good for use with the NeoBar ET tube securement device. https://www.neotechproducts.com/product/neobar/ All in all, we've found that tape works best for us in our NICU. We are currently using the MultiPore Tape from 3M. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Multipore-Dry-Surgical-Tape/?N=5002385+3292186741&rt=rud and Cavilon skin barrier https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Cavilon-No-Sting-Barrier-Film/?N=5002385+3293321921&rt=rud Hope this helps.....

Petri Mansvelt Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks, We have nasal intubated neonates, so the NeoBar isn`t the solution. I will try to get the Multipore from the US. We can only get the Medipore, and I think it is something different. Currently we use the Cavilon swaps and Leukoplast tape but is not latexfree :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
