Description

OPSITE™ Post-Op comprises a transparent, extensible polyurethane film, an absorbent cotton and acrylic-fibre pad and a hypoallergenic acrylic adhesive.

Its central pad absorbs exudate and helps maintain an appropriate moist wound environment, while the waterproof outer film provides a bacterial barrier and permits moisture vapour transmission.
