It is widely used to provide a moist wound healing environment for superficial wounds; it is also ideal for use as a secondary dressing. Opsite Flexigrid is suitable for superficial wounds, such as shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions. Use as a secondary dressing, for example over INTRASITE Gel Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing or ALLEVYN Cavity Wound Dressing To provide catheter fixation
Dressing Care OPSITE Dressings should be left in place until the wound has healed. For burns and scalds it is important to leave the dressing on for as long as possible (up to 7 days). Do not wear the same dressing for more than 7 days. In some circumstances fluid will be visible under the film. If leakage occurs change the dressing.
Step 1. Wash hands before and after treating the wound.
Step 2. Gently clean the wound, removing any debris, and dry the surrounding skin. Ensure the surrounding skin remains dry before application. Do not apply if the wound is bleeding heavily.
Step 3. Remove dressing from pouch.
Step 4. Remove the backing paper marked 1, taking care not to touch the adhesive side.
Step 5. Place the dressing over the wound using light pressure.
Step 6. Remove the backing paper marked 2, and smooth the dressing down. Press around the edges of the dressing.
Step 7. Remove the green grid marked 3 by peeling away the side tab.
Dressing Removal:
1. To remove the dressing, lift one corner and pull it parallel (even with) your skin, whilst supporting the dressing with the other hand. As the dressing is stretched it will easily lift off as the adhesive is broken.
2. Handle and dispose of the used dressing with care. Throw away hygienically after use.
Seek medical advice immediately for all serious wounds and burns or if redness or discomfort occurs. Not for use on infected wounds. As with all adhesive products, apply and remove 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. For blisters take extra care when removing the dressing, as the top layer of the skin on the blister is very fragile. This layer of skin may come off if the dressing has not been left in place very long. During the body’s normal healing process, unnecessary material is removed from the wound which will make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Should any signs of reddening, inflammation, excess tissue, skin breakdown or allergic reactions appear, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Product should not be re-used. Cross-contamination can occur and the therapy may not work. Once opened, do not retain unused dressing for application at a later date.
