Description

OPSITE POST-OP is an advanced wound dressing solution designed to enhance post-operative care. Its transparent, waterproof construction makes it ideal for protecting closed surgical incisions, minor cuts, grazes, and stitches. By providing a reliable barrier against bacteria, including MRSA, it significantly reduces the risk of infection while maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to faster healing.

Key Features

• Waterproof Design: Allows patients to shower without needing to remove the dressing, ensuring continuous protection.
• Breathable Material: The high Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate (MVTR) allows excess moisture to evaporate, preventing skin maceration and promoting comfort.
• Low-Adherent Pad: Cushions the wound, absorbs exudate, and minimizes pain during removal, enhancing patient comfort.
• Transparent Film: Enables easy monitoring of the wound without removing the dressing, allowing for convenient visual inspection.

Benefits

OPSITE POST-OP is crafted from a transparent polyurethane film with REACTIC technology, featuring a low-allergy adhesive to minimize skin irritation. Its conformability ensures it adheres well to the skin, accommodating postoperative swelling and allowing for extended wear time of up to seven days, depending on wound fluid levels.

By reducing unnecessary dressing changes, OPSITE POST-OP minimizes disruption to the healing process and maintains optimal wound conditions. This leads to reduced blistering and other postoperative complications, providing a smoother recovery experience.

Clinical Insights

Clinical studies have demonstrated OPSITE POST-OP's effectiveness in reducing surgical site infection rates compared to traditional gauze and tape dressings. It receives high ratings for exudate management, visibility of the incision site, and overall patient comfort. With a mean wear time of 4.5 days, it effectively reduces dressing changes and associated costs.

Application and Removal

To apply OPSITE POST-OP, ensure hands are clean and the wound area is prepared. Carefully position the dressing so it adheres smoothly to the skin. Replace the dressing if it begins to leak, loses adhesion, or becomes damaged. For removal, gently peel off the dressing to minimize discomfort and protect the healing skin.

Available Sizes

OPSITE POST-OP is available in various sizes to suit different wound care needs:

• 6.5cm x 5cm
• 9.5cm x 8.5cm
• 15.5cm x 8.5cm
• 20cm x 10cm

This versatility ensures that healthcare providers and patients can select the appropriate size for effective wound management, enhancing the overall healing process.
