Description

OPSITE^◊ Post-Op Dressing

This post-operative dressing combines the advantages of the highly permeable OPSITE^◊ film with an absorbent dressing pad to provide a superior dressing for wounds closed by primary intention, where a moist wound healing environment is unnecessary or even detrimental to healing.

Features

OPSITE^◊ IV3000^◊ film with a high MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate).
Easy application system using a flexible carrier
Low adherent absorbent dressing pad
Fluid and bacterial barrier

Benefits

Waterproof
The OPSITE^◊ Post-Op film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to shower without changing dressings.

Bacterial Barrier
The OPSITE^◊ Post-Op film provides a bacterial barrier, helping to reduce the risk of secondary infection.

High MVTR
OPSITE^◊ Post-Op has a unique molecular structure that ‘switches on’ in the presence of moisture, preventing accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing, which reduces bacterial growth and the risk of maceration.

Transparent Film
The clear film allows the user to monitor the level of fluid and check for infection without removing the dressing, thus increasing wear time.

Absorbent, Low-adherent Pad
The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury. The low-adherent wound contact layer leaves the wound site clean and comfortable, reducing pain when changing the dressing.

Conformable
OPSITE^◊ Post-Op is highly conformable, even over the most awkward body contours. Its extensibility does not restrict movement, ensuring that it is comfortable for the patient. The unique dressing carrier keeps the film firm, allowing easy application.

Indications

To dress post-operative wounds and casualty wounds as well as minor cuts and lacerations.
