OPSITE Post-Op Dressing by Smith & Nephew
The OPSITE Post-Op film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to shower without changing dressings. The OPSITE Post-Op film 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, 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. 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.
