Product Description

OPSITE Post-Op has a unique molecular structure that 'switches on' in the presence of moisture, preventing accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing, which reduces bacterial growth and the risk of maceration. The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury. The low-adherent wound contact layer leaves the wound site clean and comfortable, reducing pain when changing the dressing.

Ingredients

As OPSITE POST-OP 6.5x5cm is a medical dressing, it doesn't typically contain "ingredients" in the traditional sense like a skincare product might. Instead, it's made of materials specifically designed to facilitate wound healing and protect the wound site. These materials often include: 1. Adhesive: This is usually a hypoallergenic adhesive that adheres the dressing to the skin without causing irritation. 2. Film: The waterproof film is typically made of a thin, flexible material that allows for breathability while preventing water and bacteria from entering the wound. 3. Backing Material: This provides support to the dressing and ensures it stays in place during movement. 4. Absorbent Pad (optional): Some versions of OPSITE POST-OP dressings may include an absorbent pad to soak up any exudate from the wound. 5. Release Liner: This protects the adhesive until the dressing is ready to be applied and is typically removed before use. These components work together to create a sterile, protective environment for post-operative wounds, promoting optimal healing conditions.

Directions

Monitor the level of fluid and check for infection without removing dressing, thus increasing wear time.
