Smith & Nephew Opsite Post-Op Visible Dressing 3-1/7" x 4"
PRODUCT DETAILS
Smith & Nephew Opsite™ Post-Op Visible Dressing 3-1/7" x 4" for Low to Moderate Wound, Water- and Bacteria-Proof
Bacteria-proof dressing has highly breathable film, is waterproof and bacteria-resistant, and the unique lattice structure foam pad enables regular wound assessment without the need to lift or remove the dressing.
Great visibility and absorbency. Lattice foam structure reduces disturbance to the wound bed, minimizes the risk of infection and helps to provide a cost effective solution.
High moisture vapor transmission rate has a unique molecular structure which gives a high MVTR.
This allows unwanted moisture to transpire and helps prevent infection.
Bacterial barrier provides a barrier against bacteria, including MRSA, to reduce the risk of infection.
Highly absorbent lattice pad allows lateral spread across the lattice pad to maximize absorbency without impairing visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is foam dressing used for?
A: Foam dressings are used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic wounds. They absorb fluid, protect the wound, and support healing.
Q: How often should foam dressings be changed?
A: Foam dressings are typically changed every 3 to 7 days or as needed depending on the amount of exudate. Always follow the wound care professional’s recommendations.
Q: How do foam dressings work?
A: Foam dressings absorb exudate while keeping the wound moist. They help prevent infection, reduce pain, and protect the wound from external contaminants.
Q: Can foam dressings be used on infected wounds?
A: Some foam dressings are formulated with antimicrobial agents suitable for infected wounds. Always consult with a healthcare provider before applying to an infected site.
Q: Are foam dressings suitable for dry wounds?
A: Foam dressings are typically not recommended for dry wounds because they are designed to absorb moisture. Hydrogel dressings may be more appropriate for dry or necrotic wounds.
Q: Do foam dressings stick to wounds?
A: Non-adherent foam dressings do not stick to wounds and are gentle during removal. Adhesive foam dressings stick around the wound, not directly on it.
