Opsite Post-Operative Dressing, 9.5 x 8.5 cm

Product Information

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. Jester R, Russell L, Fell S, Williams S, Prest C.

Sometimes, the healing process can feel more painful than the little accident itself! High MVTR The REACTIC* film has a unique molecular structure with an MVTR of approximately 11000g/m2 /24hr, making it significantly more permeable to water vapour than ordinary films in the presence of moisture. Rapidly absorbs serous exudate. Allows lateral spread across the pad to maximise absorbency and reduce the risk of skin maceration.

Round corners/thin film Reduces occurrence of lifting or snag, helping the dressing to stay in place for longer.

Waterproof: These dressings provide waterproof protection, keeping the wound area dry and preventing contamination. McGuiness, W., E. Vella, and D. Harrison, Influence of dressing changes on wound temperature. Journal Of Wound Care. 20013;9:383-385.
