TRANSPARENT OPSITE FLEXIGRID 2X3 EA[100]

SMITH & NEPHEW opsite flexgrid transparent film dressing is an adhesive film, with a unique wound measurement grid. It is indicated for the management of superficial wounds, such as shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions. It can also be used as a secondary dressing over intrasite gel or Allevyn cavity wound dressings or to provide catheter fixation. Felxigrid has set the standard in moist wound healing by retaining the natural wound exudate. Its high moisture vapor permeability allows excess exudate to evaporate, helping prevent skin maceration. The 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 seven days minimizing interference of the wound site and reducing the amount of nursing time required. Flexigrid is resistant to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. It also aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination. It 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. 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. It 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. Size 2-3/8" x 2-3/4". Twelve dressings allowed per thirty days. Sold by the each. To receive a box order one hundred each.
