S&N Opsite Post-op (9.5x 8.5cm) 3s

S&N opsite post-op dressing combines the advantages of opsite film with an absorbent dressing pad to provide a superior dressing for many types of wound.

Features:

• Transparent OPSITE film
• Easy application system using a flexible carrier
• Low adherent absorbent dressing pad
• Fluid and bacterial barrier

Benefits:

• Waterproof
  It is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe and shower without changing dressings.
• Bacterial Barrier
  It 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 infection without removing the dressing. Therefore the dressing can be used for a maximum length of time.
• Absorbent, Low-adherent Pad
  The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury. The low-adherent pad surface leaves the wound site clean and comfortable, reducing the pain when changing the dressing.
• Conformable
  It 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.
