ClearFilm Semi-Permeable Film Dressing - 12cm x 12cm - Case of 100 - NHS ELW707

ClearFilm is a latex-free, transparent film dressing, coated with a layer of hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive. The frame delivery system provides a gentle but secure adherence to the skin, whilst allowing simple and accurate positioning over the wound site. The low reflective nature of the transparent film allows for clear inspection of the wound healing process, without needing to remove the dressing meaning longer wear time and undisturbed healing.

The conformable and comfortable structure of the dressing allows for easy application even to difficult areas and ensures superior patient satisfaction. Additionally, the breathable design of ClearFilm ensures good permeability to oxygen and vapour, aiding in creating an optimum wound healing environment.
