Product description The Opsite Post-Op Dressing (20cm x 10cm) from Smith & Nephew is a premium, waterproof, and sterile wound dressing designed for post-operative care, surgical incisions, and moderate exudating wounds. It combines a low-adherent absorbent pad with a transparent, breathable polyurethane film — providing a secure barrier while supporting optimal healing conditions. This size is particularly suited for larger surgical wounds, post-caesarean sites, joint replacements, and dressing changes where wide coverage and moisture control are essential. Directions 1. Clean the wound area. 2. Apply the Opsite Post-Op dressing to the wound, ensuring proper adhesion. 3. The hydrophilic polyurethane film will 'switch on' in the presence of moisture, allowing excess to transpire into the atmosphere. 4. The low allergy adhesive minimizes the risk of an allergic response. 5. The highly absorbent pad rapidly absorbs serous exudate and reduces the risk of skin maceration. 6. The wound contact layer enables exudate to pass through to allow minimal trauma on removal. 7. The conformable and extensible film is comfortable and non-obtrusive for the patient. 8. The round corners/thin film reduces occurrence of lifting or snag, helping the dressing to stay in place for longer. 9. The dressing may help to prevent post-operative blistering in joint surgery.
