Opsite Flexifix Transparent Film Roll 10cm x 1m

Opsite Flexifix is a thin, clear adhesive film on a 10cm wide roll that you cut to the length you need. It is used to hold a wound dressing in place or to protect intact skin from rubbing and friction. The film is waterproof, so it can be worn in the shower, and it forms a barrier against outside bacteria while still letting the skin breathe. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Key Features

• Transparent, so the area underneath can be checked without removing it
• Waterproof and showerproof
• Cut to any length from the 1m roll
• Thin and conformable, moving with the body
• Low-friction surface, easy to apply and remove
• Bacterial barrier helps keep out outside contamination

Directions for Use

To hold a dressing in place:

• Wash your hands. Apply the primary dressing to clean, dry skin as directed.
• Cut a length of film long enough to cover the dressing with a margin of skin around it.
• Stretch the film away from the cut in the backing paper and peel off the small section marked 1.
• Stick down the exposed adhesive, then remove the rest of the backing paper and smooth the film down.
• Peel away the green carrier strips marked 3 from the centre outwards, then smooth the edges again.

To protect skin from friction, follow the same steps on clean, dry skin without a dressing underneath.

Warnings

Opsite Flexifix is made to secure dressings and protect skin, and it does not absorb wound fluid. Apply and remove carefully on fragile skin. Stop using it if the skin becomes red or irritated, and seek medical advice for serious wounds.
