OPSITE Flexifix Roll, Film dressings are composed of a thin polyurethane membrane coated with a layer of acrylic adhesive. Whilst being extremely flexible and allowing visualisation of the wound without disturbance, they hold no properties to absorb wound exudate.
These dressings are typically used to manage superficial, minimally exuding wounds and in the case of stage 1 pressure ulcers, offer some protection against friction and shearing forces. Film dressings are not suitable for full thickness, infected or moderate to highly exuding wounds.
