Smith & Nephew Opsite Post-Op Transparent Waterproof Dressing with Highly Absorbent Pad 3-3/4" x 3-3/8", Low Adherence, Latex-Free (Box of 20 Each)

Smith & Nephew Opsite Post-Op Transparent Waterproof Dressing (3-3/4" x 3-3/8", Box of 20) is a high-performance wound dressing designed for post-operative care and minor wound protection. Featuring a high MVTR waterproof film, it allows moisture to escape while preventing bacterial contamination, enabling patients to shower without changing the dressing. The low-adherence absorbent pad rapidly absorbs exudate, reducing the risk of maceration and ensuring comfort. Latex-free and designed with round corners and a conformable fit, this dressing stays securely in place, promoting faster, uninterrupted healing with minimal trauma during changes.

Features:

• Waterproof & Shower-Friendly: The hydrophilic polyurethane film is waterproof, allowing patients to shower without the need to change the dressing.
  
• Bacterial Barrier: Helps prevent extrinsic contamination and reduce the risk of infection by acting as a bacterial barrier.
  
• High MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate): The patented REACTIC film is more permeable to water vapor than ordinary films when exposed to moisture, enabling excess moisture to evaporate into the atmosphere.
  
• Highly Absorbent Pad: The pad rapidly absorbs exudate and allows lateral spread across the dressing, helping to reduce the risk of skin maceration.
  
• Low-Adherence Wound Contact Layer: Designed to minimize trauma during dressing removal, it ensures that the wound site stays protected without adhering to it.
  
• Conformable & Comfortable: The dressing is soft and non-restrictive, making it easy for patients to wear comfortably.
  
• Latex-Free Formula: The dressing is latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
  
• Round Corners & Thin Film: These features reduce lifting or snagging, helping the dressing stay in place longer.
