The Opsite Post-Op Dressing combines the advantages of the highly permeable OpSite IV3000* film with an absorbent dressing pad to provide a superior dressing for wounds closed by primary intention, where a moist wound healing environment is unnecessary or even detrimental to healing. Features OpSite IV3000 film with a high MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate). Easy application system using a flexible carrier Low adherent absorbent dressing pad Fluid and bacterial barrier Benefits The OpSite Post-Op dressing film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe and shower without changing dressings. The OpSite Post-Op dressing 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.
