OPSITE Flexigrid Dressing – Transparent Moist Wound Healing Film with Wound Grid, 10x12 cm

OPSITE Flexigrid Dressing is a transparent adhesive film designed for superficial wounds, offering a moist wound healing environment and visible wound assessment through its unique grid. It is ideal as a primary or secondary dressing with simple, single-handed application and flexible conformity to the body.

• Size and material: Size 10 × 12 cm; transparent polyurethane film with an acrylic adhesive; waterproof and moisture vapor permeable.
• Unique wound measurement grid: Pre-printed grid allows easy tracing of wound edges for documentation; grid can be removed and stored in patient notes.
• Moist wound healing environment: Maintains wound exudate in a moist environment while permitting evaporation of excess moisture to help prevent maceration.
• Conformability and wear time: Highly extensible and conformable to body contours; can be left in place up to 7 days under appropriate conditions.
• Waterproof and protective barrier: Resistant to water and body fluids; supports bathing without dressing changes and helps guard against external contamination.
• Easy application and versatility: Flexible carrier enables single-handed application and can be cut to fit awkward areas such as heels, elbows, and knees; suitable as a secondary dressing or for catheter fixation.
• Precautions and indications: Indicated for superficial wounds (e.g., shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions) and for use as a secondary dressing; not for heavily bleeding wounds; use under medical supervision if infection is present and monitor skin for irritation.

Benefits: The dressing supports a moist wound environment that can promote natural healing while remaining transparent for ongoing assessment. Its superior conformability, extended wear time, and single-handed application help reduce dressing changes and nursing time, making it a practical choice for care at home or in clinical settings. Its waterproof design allows patient bathing without dressing removal, and the grid feature simplifies wound documentation. Consider adding OPSITE Flexigrid Dressing to your wound care kit for reliable protection and easy monitoring.
