Smith & Nephew Opsite Post-Op Transparent Waterproof Dressing with Absorbent Pad is a revolutionary post-operative dressing combining a high Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) film and the cushioning and absorbency of a low adherent pad together with an easy application carrier system. The hydrophilic polyurethane film on this dressing has reactic properties that switch on in the presence of moisture, allowing any excess to transpire into the atmosphere.
- The Opsite Post-Op film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to shower without changing dressings
- Provides a bacterial barrier, helping to reduce the risk of secondary infection
- 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
- The clear film allows the user to monitor the level of fluid and check for infection without removing the dressing, thus increasing wear time
- The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimizing the number of dressing changes while 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
- Highly conformable, even over the most awkward body contours
- Box of 20 Pads
