Benefits:

Faster, safer, less painful wound healing

- OpSite Flexigrid has set the standard in moist wound healing by retaining wound contact with the natural wound exudate which contains vital nutrients for growing cells, and white blood cells to prevent infection. OpSite Flexigrid provides an environment for safer and less painful wound healing. The high moisture vapour permeability allows excess exudate to evaporate, preventing skin maceration.

Superior film with acrylic adhesive:

- The OpSite Flexigrid film is highly extensible and conformable, which combined with its high moisture vapour permeability, means the dressing can be left in place for up to 14 days. This minimises interference at the wound site and reduces the amount of nursing time required.

Waterproof:

- OpSite Flexigrid is impermeable to water and body fluids, protecting the skin underneath and allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. It also aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination.

Simple, effective application technique:

- OpSite Flexigrid provides a simple and effective application system. The flexible carrier enables single handed application allowing the dressing to conform to the contours of the body. Its transparency enables accurate positioning over the wound site.

Adaptable to Awkward Areas:

- OpSite Flexigrid has been designed to be adaptable for use on all areas of the body. It can be easily cut into strips or shapes for application to awkward areas such as heels, elbows, and knees.

Usage Directions:

How to use Opsite Flexigrid:

• Wash your hands before and after dealing with a wound. Gently clean the wound and surrounding skin, and dry thoroughly.
• Peel away the protective backing and place the dressing on the wound. Gently press around the wound to seal.
• Remove the clear printed cover from the top of the dressing.

How to remove Opsite Flexigrid:

• To remove the dressing, lift one corner and pull it parallel (even with) your skin, whilst supporting the dressing with the other hand. As the dressing is stretched it will easily lift off as the adhesive is broken.
• Handle and dispose of the used dressing with care.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place.
