4975 MFG #: 4975
OPSITE®, 5 1/2" x 4" is a transparent, adhesive film. The film is moisture vapor 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. Indicated for the management of:
• 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
Features and benefits:
• Superior film with acrylic adhesive: 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: 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: 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.
