OPSITE◊ Post-Op Composite Dressing - 2½" x 2", 100/bx

OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible (Smith & Nephew) is an innovative composite dressing designed specifically for the management of acute wounds and surgical incisions. This dressing features a unique lattice-structure absorbent foam pad that allows for continuous monitoring of the wound bed and periwound skin without the need to remove the dressing. By providing a clear view of the site, OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible helps reduce unnecessary dressing changes, thereby minimizing the risk of wound disturbance and potential surgical site infections (SSIs).

OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible is topped with the highly permeable REACTIC◊ film, which acts as a waterproof and bacterial barrier while allowing for high levels of moisture vapor transmission. This prevents the accumulation of fluid under the dressing and reduces the risk of maceration. OPSITE◊ Post-Op Visible's low-adherent wound contact layer ensures that the dressing does not stick to the wound or staples, providing a comfortable and atraumatic experience for the patient during removal.

Please note: All prices are for boxes.

Key Features

REACTIC◊ Film Technology: Features a unique molecular structure that reacts to moisture, increasing permeability when exudate is present to keep the skin dry and secure.

Waterproof and Bacterial Barrier: Allows patients to maintain hygiene through showering while protecting the wound from external contaminants and bacteria.

High Absorbency Pad: Effectively manages light to moderate exudate levels, keeping the fluid away from the wound bed.

Low-Adherent Contact Layer: Minimizes pain and tissue damage during dressing changes by ensuring the pad does not adhere to the healing tissue.

Transparent Border: Allows for easy monitoring of the periwound area for signs of infection or irritation without removing the dressing.

Highly Conformable: The flexible film and rounded corners ensure the dressing stays in place even on difficult anatomical contours or areas of high movement.

Ideal Clinical Applications

Post-Operative Surgical Wounds: Ideal for clean, sutured, or stapled surgical incisions.

Lacerations and Abrasions: Provides excellent protection and fluid management for minor traumatic wounds.

Minor Cuts and Punctures: Suitable for small outpatient procedures and everyday wound care.

Low to Moderately Exuding Wounds: Optimized for wounds where primary closure has been achieved but protection and light absorption are required.

Contraindications: Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to acrylic-based adhesives.

Single Use Only: This product is for single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize, as this increases the risk of cross-contamination and compromises the adhesive integrity of the dressing.
