Opsite Post-Op Waterproof Barrier Dressings 9.5cm x 8.5cm 3

Overview:
OPSITE Post-Op dressings provide a waterproof and bacteria-proof barrier for cuts, grazes, and stitches (low-risk incisions). Featuring an absorbent pad, this breathable dressing can stay in place for up to 7 days.

High moisture vapour permeability allows the wound and the skin around the wound to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration. The low allergy adhesive reduces the risk of irritation whilst ensuring the dressing stays in place even over awkward contours.

Features
- Transparent OpSite film
- Easy application system using a flexible carrier
- Non-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 bathe and shower without changing dressings.
- Bacterial Barrier
  The OpSite Post-Op film provides a bacterial barrier, helping to reduce       the risk of secondary infection.
- Breathable
   High moisture vapour permeability allows the wound and the skin       around the wound to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration. The low    allergy adhesive reduces the risk of irritation whilst ensuring the    dressing stays in place even over awkward contours.
- Transparent Film 
   The clear film allows the user to monitor the level of fluid and check for    clinical signs of infection without removing the dressing. Therefore the    dressing can be used for a maximum length of time.
- Absorbent, Non-adherent Pad 
  The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing    changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury. The non-       adherent pad surface leaves the wound site clean and comfortable,    reducing the pain and site trauma 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
