To retain a primary wound dressing:
Step 1: Wash hands before and after handling the dressing (Fig 1).
Step 2: Apply the primary wound dressing on the skin according to the instructions for use. Make sure the surrounding skin is clean and dry (Fig 2).
Step 3: Cut the OPSITE FLEXIFIX roll to the desired length (Fig 3).
Step 4: Stretch the OPSITE FLEXIFIX film away from the cut in the backing paper (printed ‘Remove First 1’) to make the backing paper easier to remove (Fig 4).
Step 5: Remove the smallest part of the backing paper printed 1. Folding the dressing lengthways can simplify this operation (Fig 5).
Step 6: Apply the exposed adhesive then remove the second part of the backing paper and smooth down the edges (Fig 6).
Step 7: Remove the green carrier grid marked ‘3’ by lifting and pulling away using the pre-lifted edge along the centre of the green carrier. Repeat to remove the other side (Fig 7.) Smooth down the edges of the film again.
Step 8: For larger wound dressings repeat the application until the whole dressing is secured.

Instructions for removal:
To remove OPSITE FLEXIFIX, lift a corner of the film whilst supporting the skin. Gently stretch the film parallel to the skin (Fig 8). Throw away hygienically after use. Remove with the primary dressing or after a maximum of 7 days.
As with all adhesive products, OPSITE FLEXIFIX should be applied and removed carefully from sensitive or fragile skin. Frequent dressing changes, particularly on patients with fragile skin or dermatological conditions, can result in skin reddening or damage to the skin. If reddening or sensitisation occur discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional. Do not use OPSITE FLEXIFIX directly on open wounds.
