Opsite Flexifix Gentle Box 5m

Opsite Flexifix Gentle from Smith & Nephew is a transparent silicone adhesive film roll for holding dressings, tubing and devices in place on fragile or sensitive skin. The silicone adhesive lifts cleanly and can be repositioned, which suits fragile and sensitive skin. Being transparent, it lets you check the dressing or site without removing the film, and its breathable, waterproof construction suits everyday wear.

This is a skin-fixation film, so Smith & Nephew advise not to use it directly on open wounds. It holds a primary dressing or tubing in place over intact skin. Smith & Nephew document the film as a single 1-metre roll in 5cm and 10cm widths; choose the width option on this page that matches what FAD stocks. The 5cm width suits most general fixation, and the 10cm width covers a larger dressing or a wider area in one pass.

FAD has supplied wound care across Australian aged care and community nursing since 2011, and you can call 03 5443 2239 for help matching a fixation film to the job.
