OPSITE™ Flexifix Gentle combines breathability, transparency and a seven day wear time to offer a versatile silicone film roll for patients with fragile or at-risk skin. It removes cleanly, without disrupting fragile skin layers or causing patients undue pain.
This dressing combines all the benefits of OPSITE film, with a gentle silicone gel adhesive that enables the dressing to be lifted and repositioned without losing adherent properties. The film is transparent, shower and bacteria proof, allowing monitoring of the site under the film without lifting the dressing. The low friction film helps to protect the skin from the formation of pressure injuries.
