Smith & Nephew Opsite Post-Op Visible Dressing, 4" x 6", Sterile

4" x 6" See-Through Post-Op Dressing for Continuous Wound Monitoring

Product Description

Monitoring a surgical incision often requires lifting or removing the dressing, which can disrupt the healing environment and increase the risk of contamination. Patients and caregivers need a post-operative dressing that protects the site while allowing clear, ongoing visibility of the wound and exudate levels without unnecessary changes.

The Smith & Nephew Opsite Post-Op Visible Dressing is designed to address these needs. This 4" x 6" sterile composite dressing features a unique lattice-structure foam pad that is itself transparent, allowing you to see the wound, incision line, and exudate level through the intact dressing . The waterproof, bacteria-proof film backing provides a barrier against external contaminants, including MRSA, while remaining breathable to support a moist healing environment . The low-adherent wound contact layer helps minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes

This Smith & Nephew dressing is designed for convenience and comfort. The low-allergy adhesive holds securely even over awkward body contours, and the dressing is highly conformable . Patients can shower with the dressing in place, and it can remain on the wound for up to 7 days depending on exudate levels . Each box contains 20 individually wrapped sterile dressings
