Smith & Nephew OPSITE FLEXIGRID Transparent Film Dressings 6 × 7 cm, 5 dressings

Smith & Nephew OPSITE FLEXIGRID is a transparent waterproof polyurethane film dressing with acrylic adhesive and a removable grid. It is intended for uses such as covering blisters, abrasions and minor burns. Each box contains five 6 × 7 cm dressings. 1. Wash hands before and after treating the wound. 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. 3. Remove dressing from pouch. 4. Remove the backing paper marked 1, taking care not to touch the adhesive side. 5. Place the dressing over the wound using light pressure. 6. Remove the backing paper marked 2, and smooth the dressing down. Press around the edges of the dressing. 7. Remove the green grid marked 3 by peeling away the side tab. To remove, lift one corner and gently stretch the film parallel to the skin while supporting it with the other hand. Replace it if it leaks and wear for no more than seven days. 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. 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.
