Smith & Nephew Opsite Flexigrid Transparent Adhesive Film Dressing is a transparent, adhesive film, with a unique wound measurement grid. It is widely used to provide a moist wound healing environment for superficial wounds and is also ideal for use as a secondary dressing. The film is moisture vapor permeable, conformable and extensible. High moisture vapor permeability allows excess exudate to evaporate, helping prevent skin maceration.

Features

Smith & Nephew Opsite Flexigrid Transparent Adhesive Film Dressing has set the standard in moist wound healing by retaining the natural wound exudate
Promotes faster, less painful wound healing
Superior film with acrylic adhesive:
- Film is highly extensible and conformable, which combines with its high moisture vapour permeability, means the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days
- Minimizes interference at the wound site and reduces the amount of nursing time required
Waterproof:
- Resistant to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings
- Also aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination
Simple, effective application technique
- Provides a simple and effective application system
- Flexible carrier enables single handed application allowing the dressing to conform to the contours of the body
- Transparency enables accurate positioning over the wound site
Adaptable to Awkward Areas:
- Designed to be adaptable for use on all areas of the body
- Can be easily cut into strips or shapes for application to awkward areas such as heels, elbows and knees
Unique Wound Management:
- Grid incorporates a unique wound measurement device which allows simple but accurate assessments of the healing process to be made
- After tracing the edges of the wound, the Flexigrid carrier can be removed and stored in the patient notes
Indications:
- Superficial wounds, such as shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions
- Use as a secondary dressing, for example over intrasite gel amorphous hydrogel dressing or allevyn cavity wound dressing
- To provide catheter fixation

Precautions:
Opsite Flexigrid may be used on clinically infected wounds if the following precautions are followed:
- The patient should be under medical-clinical supervision
- The dressing should be changed daily
- The patient should be receiving suitable systemic treatment
- Immuno-compromised patients and diabetic patients may require extra supervision
- Care should be taken to avoid skin damage by repeated applications on patients with thin or fragile skin
- In common with all adhesive products, some cases of irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound have been reported
- It should be noted that inappropriate use or too frequent dressing changes, particularly in patients with fragile skin, can result in skin stripping
