OpSite Flexigrid 66024628 | 2-3/8 x 2-3/4 Inch

OpSite Flexigrid 4 x 4-3/4 inch transparent film dressing is used for wound protection. Flexigrid is impermeable to water and body fluids and protects the skin underneath, allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. This wound dressing incorporates a unique grid pattern which allows simple but accurate assessments of the healing process. Caregivers may trace the edges of the wound upon the Flexigrid carrier that can be removed and stored in the patient's notes. OpSite Flexigrid Dressings allow the skin to breathe and prevent moisture build-up. Manufactured by Smith & Nephew, Flexigrid Transparent Film is easy to apply and use for wound management.

Smith & Nephew also manufactures other OpSite Dressings, including Opsite Flexifix Visible, Opsite Post-Op, Opsite Post-Op Visible and IV3000 Dressings.
