Opsite Post-Op is a transparent waterproof dressing with absorbent pad. Advantages * Bacterial barrier protects the site against extrinsic contamination, reducing the risk of infection by bacteria * Waterproof film means the patient can shower with the dressing in situ. * Low allergy adhesive a unique grid pattern adhesive minimising the risk of an allergic response. * Highly absorbent pad rapidly absorbs exudate. Allows lateral spread across the pad to maximise absorbency and reduce the risk of skin maceration. * Conformable and non obtrusive for the patient * High MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate) making it significantly more permeable to ware vapour than ordingary films in the pressence of moisture. * Round corners/thin film reduces occurrence of lifting or snag, helping the dressing to stay in place for longer
