Ingredients and Materials
Opsite Post-Op dressings are constructed from a medical-grade polyurethane film backing with a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive and a silicone-coated release liner. The dressing is latex-free and designed to be gentle to skin while providing an effective microbial barrier. Exact materials: polyurethane film, acrylic adhesive, and siliconised paper/plastic release liner.
How to Use
For optimal wound protection and adhesion:
- Wash hands and clean the wound/incision site per clinical guidance; ensure skin is dry.
- Select the 9.5 x 8.5cm dressing so wound/incision is centrally covered with at least a 1cm margin of adhesive contact on all sides.
- Remove release liner and carefully apply the transparent film without stretching the skin; smooth edges to ensure seal.
- Monitor the wound through the transparent film; replace dressing if edges lift, if it becomes saturated, or if signs of infection appear.
- Follow clinician instructions for maximum wear time (typical wear up to 7 days unless clinical signs indicate earlier change).
Who It’s For
Suitable for healthcare professionals, surgical teams, and patients requiring reliable post-operative wound protection. Ideal uses include: post-op incision coverage, catheter and IV site protection, small grafts and donor sites, and wound sites requiring visual inspection without dressing removal. Appropriate for adults and children under clinical supervision.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For external use only. Single-use sterile dressing — do not re-use. Do not apply on infected wounds without clinical advice. Discontinue if skin irritation, allergic reaction, or signs of infection occur and seek medical attention. Check expiry date before use. Storage: store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep packaging intact until use to maintain sterility. Dispose of dressing as clinical waste per local regulations.
