OpSite Post-Op 66000709 | 3-3/4 x 3-3/8 Inch

OpSite Post-Op 3-3/4 x 3-3/8 inch dressing combines a transparent film dressing with an absorbent dressing pad to provide a superior wound dressing for casualty wounds and for minor cuts and lacerations. Post-Op dressings are easy to apply with a flexible carrier. The absorbent dressing pad is low adherent and protects against fluid and bacteria. Constructed with a low allergy adhesive, OpSite Post-Op dressings reduce the risk of irritation while keeping the dressing in place even upon difficult contours of the body. The transparent film construction provides the ability to monitor the wound for fluid build up or infection without removing the dressing.

Post-Op is impermeable to water and body fluids and protects the skin underneath the dressing. Wound patients using the Post-Op dressing may bathe without changing the dressing. OpSite Post-Op Dressings allow the skin to breathe and prevent moisture build-up. Manufactured by Smith & Nephew, Post-Op Transparent Film is easy to apply and use for excellent wound management.

Smith & Nephew also manufactures other OpSite Dressings, including Opsite Flexifix, Opsite Flexifix Visible, Incise Drape, Opsite Post-Op Visible and IV3000 Dressings.
