Opsite Flexigrid Transparent Adhesive Film Dressing

A transparent, sticky film dressing with a special wound measuring grid refers to an Opsite flexigrid. The film is extensible, conformable, and moisture vapor permeable. Also, it is frequently used to give superficial wounds a wet environment for healing. Additionally, it works well as a second dressing.

Multi-Layered Absorbent Film Dressing

Composite dressings that are absorbent wound absorbers have their own adhesive borders. These adhere to the skin firmly yet gradually peel off to prevent skin irritation. The backing film shields the skin from external contamination while supplying a moist wound environment. Also, a component of these absorbent dressings will wick away exudate and disperse it throughout the soaking material.

As the exudate builds up, the user may see it through the bandage’s top. Moreover, exudate would not leak through the backing, and the border glue will keep it all contained. By doing this, the risk of damage to the nearby skin will be significantly reduced.
