Opsite is a transparent, adhesive film. The film is moisture vapour permeable, conformable and extensible. It is widely used to provide a moist wound environment for superficial wounds; it is also ideal for use as a secondary dressing.
Features:
- Superior film with acrylic adhesive
- Waterproof film
- Simple, effective application technique
- Adaptable to awkward areas
Benefits:
- Opsite has set the standard in moist wound care by retaining the natural wound exudate
- Opsite provides moisture vapour permeability allowing excess exudate to evaporate, helping prevent skin maceration
- Superior film with acrylic adhesive (The film is highly extensible and conformable, which combined with its moisture vapour 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 (It 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 (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)
Indications:
Opsite is indicated for the management of:
- Superficial wounds, such as shallow pressure sores, minor burns, cuts and abrasions
- Use as a secondary dressing
- To provide catheter fixation
