Smith & Nephew Opsite Transparent Adhesive Dressing is a moisture vapor permeable, conformable and extensible dressing. Its moisture vapor permeability allows the excess exudate to evaporate, helping prevent skin maceration. Opsite is widely used to provide a moist wound environment for superficial wounds and is also ideal for use as a secondary dressing.

Opsite Transparent Adhesive Dressing

Key Features:

Simple, effective application technique
Standard in moist wound care by retaining the natural wound exudate
Superior film with acrylic adhesive:
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.
Waterproof:
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.
Adaptable to Awkward Areas:
Opsite 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.

Indications For Use:

Superficial wounds, such as shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions
Use as a secondary dressing, for example over Intrasite Gel Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing or Allevyn Cavity Wound Dressing
To provide catheter fixation

More About Opsite Dressing

Precautions:

Opsite may be used on clinically infected wounds if the following precautions are followed:
- The patient should be under medical/clinical supervision
- The dressing should be changed daily
- The patient should be receiving suitable systemic treatment
Immuno-compromised patients and diabetic patients may require extra supervision
Care should be taken to avoid skin damage by repeated applications on patients with thin or fragile skin
In common with all adhesive products, some cases of irritation and/or maceration of the skin surrounding the wound have been reported
It should be noted that inappropriate use or too frequent dressing changes, particularly in patients with fragile skin, can result in skin stripping
