Description
Discover the OpSite Flexigrid, a state-of-the-art transparent adhesive film dressing designed to enhance wound care management. Composed of a thin polyurethane membrane coated with a layer of acrylic adhesive, this dressing is engineered for flexibility and ease of use, allowing for clear visualization of the wound without disturbing the healing process.
Key Features:
- Moisture Vapour Permeable: The OpSite Flexigrid is designed to maintain a moist wound healing environment, crucial for the recovery of superficial, minimally exuding wounds. Its high moisture vapour permeability allows excess exudate to evaporate, preventing skin maceration and promoting faster healing.
- Superior Adhesive Technology: Featuring a polyacrylate adhesive, this dressing adheres securely to the skin and wound edges, providing a reliable barrier against friction and shearing forces, especially beneficial for stage 1 pressure ulcers.
- Waterproof Protection: The OpSite Flexigrid is impermeable to water and body fluids, safeguarding the underlying skin and allowing patients to bathe without the need to change dressings. This waterproof feature also helps prevent bacterial contamination, ensuring a sterile environment for healing.
- Simple Application Technique: Designed for ease of use, the OpSite Flexigrid allows for single-handed application, conforming effortlessly to the body’s contours. Its transparent nature ensures accurate positioning over the wound site, minimizing the risk of misplacement.
- Adaptable for Awkward Areas: This dressing can be easily cut into strips or shapes, making it ideal for application on challenging areas such as heels, elbows, and knees, ensuring comprehensive coverage and protection.
- Unique Wound Measurement Grid: The OpSite Flexigrid includes a built-in wound measurement grid, allowing healthcare professionals to easily assess the healing process. After tracing the wound edges, the carrier can be removed and stored in the patient's notes for accurate tracking.
Benefits:
- Faster, Safer, Less Painful Healing: By retaining natural wound exudate, OpSite Flexigrid supports the growth of new cells and white blood cells, creating an optimal healing environment that reduces pain and discomfort.
- Extended Wear Time: The dressing can remain in place for up to 14 days, minimizing the need for frequent changes and reducing nursing time, which is especially beneficial in busy clinical settings.
Contraindications / Precautions:
While OpSite Flexigrid is suitable for a variety of wounds, it may be used on clinically infected wounds under specific conditions:
- The patient must be under medical supervision.
- Daily dressing changes are required.
- The patient should receive appropriate systemic treatment.
Extra caution is advised for immuno-compromised and diabetic patients, as well as those with thin or fragile skin, to prevent irritation or skin damage.
