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 and a bacterial barrier OpSite Flexigrid is impermeable to water and body fluids, protecting the skin underneath and allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. It also reduces the risk of secondary infection and 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. The dressing conforms 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. Unique Wound Management Grid OpSite Flexigrid incorporates a unique wound mapping grid 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’s notes.
