OPSITE Post-Op Visible


OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible’s unique and innovative design allows constant monitoring of the wound without the need to disrupt the healing process through unnecessary dressing changes.

Vital protection against serious consequences
Provides an impermeable barrier against bacteria, including MRSA1

 

Patient Satisfaction
'Patients stated OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible was very comfortable and gave them confidence that they were protected from MRSA.'3

 

Effective incision site management
OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible helps provide an optimal balance between excess wound exudate and the amount of fluid required for moist wound healing.

 

OPSITE Post-Op Visible

Continual monitoring
Unique design allows continual monitoring of the incision site without the need to disrupt the healing process.
“the reduced number of dressing changes led to reduced overall costs and increased patient and clinician satisfaction”2

 

 

Help prevent blistering
In patients undergoing total hip and knee replacement surgery OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible has been shown to reduce the rate of skin blistering from 14% to 8%.4
“its elasticity allowed for post-operative oedema and did not restrict limb movement”4
