Transparent Film Dressing OpSite Flexigrid Rectangle 2-3/8" x 2-3/4" Sterile

OpSite Flexigrid transparent film dressing is a sterile adhesive wound dressing in a rectangular format. It works well for buyers who need a conformable dressing for varied body areas, including awkward contours, while keeping the wound site visible for placement.
