OpSite Post-Op is a transparent dressing manufactured by Smith & Nephew. This wound dressing is constructed with a transparent, adhesive polyurethane film. Post-Op allows the skin to breathe to prevent moisture build-up. This OpSite Dressing protects against fluid and bacteria. Although Post-Op is an adhesive dressing, it has a non-adherent absorbent pad that is easy to apply.
Smith & Nephew also manufactures other OpSite Dressings, including Opsite Flexifix, Opsite Post-Op Visible, Opsite Flexigrid, and other IV3000 Dressings.
