OPSITE Post-Op Absorbent Film Dressings 15.5cm x 8.5cm 20 Pack

OPSITE Post-Op Absorbent Film Dressings, feature a clear film surrounding an absorbent pad. This waterproof dressing provides a bacteria-proof barrier for low-risk infections, cuts, grazes, and stitches, and helps reduce the risk of secondary infections. The dressing is breathable and 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 hypoallergenic adhesive reduces the risk of irritation whilst ensuring the dressing stays in place even over awkward contours.

The clear film allows the user to monitor the level of fluid and check for infection without removing the dressing.

The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury. The low-adherent pad surface helps reduce the pain and prevent the damage to new tissue when changing the dressing.

The Opsite Post-Op film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe and shower without changing dressings.

FEATURES

• High MVTR - The patented REACTIC film has a unique molecular structure making it significantly more permeable to water vapor than ordinary films in the presence of moisture.
• Waterproof Film - Patient can shower with the dressing in place.
• Bacterial Barrier - Helps protect the site against extrinsic contamination, reducing the risk of infection by bacteria.
• Latex-Free Formula - A unique grid pattern adhesive.
• Highly-Absorbent Pad - Rapidly absorbs exudate. Allows lateral spread across the pad to maximize absorbency and help reduce the risk of skin maceration.
• Low Adherence - The wound contact layer enables exudate to pass through to allow minimal trauma on removal.
• Conformable - Comfortable and non-restrictive for the patient.
• Round Corners / Thin Film - Reduces occurences of lifting or snag, helping the dressing stay in place longer.
