Opsite Flexifix Transparent Film Roll 5cmx1m

Bought this after using many other medical tapes to keep my premature sons oxygen prongs in place. Perfect width to fit across his face, holds really well even with little hands pulling at the tubes, waterproof feature means it looks cleaner than hypafix. Also less painful to take off than other brands using a soapy flannel, although adhesive remover is easiest to use.Instructilons are clear, very easy to use

This stuff has saved me a total of around £100 so far. I'm a diabetic and I use the Freestyle Libre glucose monitoring system. I don't know if it's a bad batch or just bad luck, but I've had 3 sensors now where the glue did not stick. The first time it happened, Abbott refused to replace, claiming user damage. £50 down the drain. I learned my lesson and bought some of this stuff. The glue on the sensors has failed twice since (implying faulty batch, not user error), but luckily I've recognised that very quickly, and have been able to slap some of this stuff on to keep it securely in place. Both times the sensor has worked fine, and the film has lasted extremely well over the 2 week life of the sensor.I'm sure this is excellent stuff for wounds and other medical purposes, but that's just a bonus for me. So, thank you Smith & Nephew, you saved me a small fortune with this stuff.

These sensors are meant to be placed on the back of your upper arm and for me this sometimes meant that knocked it against the door frame and dislodged it - my fault for being clumsy. This tape helps keep the sensor in place and will, most times, prevent it from being damaged. Sticky marks left on the arm can be a little difficult to remove but that shows strong adhesive properties. A bit expensive though for only a metre but for its worth the cost.

Wouldn't be without it! Easy to apply once you understand how it works, seals completely and is totally showerproof - for days. We use this with a piece of lint dressed with honey and it seals in the honey completely with no leaks.Easy to remove by stretching which makes it non sticky.

I needed a tape to protect a Libre glucose device. I hadn’t travelled abroad since the pandemic started & had been prescribed the device in the meantime. It was excellent for protecting the device which worked perfectly well after several days swimming and showering with it. There is enough tape on the roll to use a new strip each time you swim but it’s so effective that you can keep one strip on for a few days.

Difficult to apply even with help.Did not stay on very well, poor adherence.

I brought this product after my practice nurse removed my post op dressing and sutures following a knee replacement that had resulted in an 8cm wound. The clean dressing the nurse applied, looked very similar to the Opstite dressing used in hospital (on discharge I had been issued some small ones to cover a sore patch)but the adhesion was virtually none existent. Quick order from Amazon and next day delivery resolved the problem. I used a quality dressing beneath the tape and it stayed tight for two weeks. Ultra light, blends with your skin tone, shower proof, totally flexible a little pricey maybe ...but worth every penny I'm going to keep a roll in our first aid box!Having read some reviews where individuals have experienced lack of adhesion to their skin, its best to make sure your skin is clean and dry and use no creams or lotions before the tape is applied. I have used ice packs and massage cream around knee joint to help reduce swelling and it has not compromised the adhesion at all👍

Fantastic , waterproof and great staying power. I prefer to use lint and then this over the top , than using a plaster, stays on until you need to take it off! Great for use for operation wound protection when you need to shower or bathe, water doesn’t get in.
