TRANSPARENT OPSITE 4 X 5.5 EACH [10]

SMITH & NEPHEW Opsite transparent waterproof film is indicated for the management of superficial wounds, such as shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions. It can also be used as a secondary dressing, for example over intrasite gel amorphous hydrogel dressing or Allevyn cavity wound dressing or it can be used for catheter fixation. Opsite has set the standard in moist wound care by retaining the natural wound exudate. It provides moisture vapor permeability allowing excess exudate to evaporate, helping prevent skin maceration. The opsite film is highly extensible and conformable, which combined with its moisture vapor permeability, means the dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days. This minimizes interference at the wound site and reduces the amount of nursing time required. Opsite is resistant to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. It also aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination. It has been designed to be adaptable for use on all areas of the body. It can be easily cut into strips or shapes for application to awkward areas such as heels, elbows and knees. Size 5-1/2" x 4". Twelve dressings allowed per thirty days. Sold by the each. To receive a box order ten each.
