Opsite Post-Op has a clear waterproof, breathable and bacteria-proof adhesive film with an absorbent pad that promotes moist wound healing.

    Product Description:

    Opsite Post-Op is a waterproof protective film dressing with a low-adherent pad. It is absorbent, shower-proof and bacteria-proof.

    Suitable for cuts, grazes and stitches.

    Evidence shows that a wound that is kept moist heals faster. The film used in Opsite Post-Op promotes this moist healing approach as it controls the moisture on the surface of the wound by adjusting its breathability, thus, maintaining an optimal moisture level.

    Benefits of Opsite Post-Op;

    • Bacterial Barrier – Protects the site against contamination, reducing the risk of infection by bacteria.
    • Waterproof Film – You can shower with the dressing on. Take care not to immerse or saturate the dressing.
    • Low Allergy Adhesive – A unique grid pattern adhesive minimising the risk of an allergic response.
    • Highly Absorbent Pad – Rapidly absorbs wound fluid. Allows lateral spread across the pad to maximise absorbency and reduce the risk of skin problems under the dressing.
    • Low Adherence – The wound contact layer enables wound fluid to pass through to allow minimal trauma on removal.
    • Comfortable – Comfortable to wear and should not interfere with daily activites.
    • Round Corners/ Thin Film – Reduces occurrence of lifting or snagging, helping the dressing to stay in place for longer.

    Directions:

    1. Wash hands before and after treating wound.  Gently clean wound and surrounding skin.
    2. Remove backing paper.  Lightly apply Opsite Post-Op dressing to wound.  Press dressing around pad with fingers to seal.
    3. Remove the clear printed cover on top of dressing to reveal film.

    Safety:

    The dressing should be changed if leakage occurs or if the dressing lifts allowing access to bacteria and water. Care must be taken not to stretch the dressing on application as this may cause trauma to the underlying skin.

    Seek medical advice immediately for all serious wounds, or if redness or discomfort occurs.

    Always read the label, use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your doctor.
