OPSITE SPRAY WOUND DRESSING 100ML AEROSOL  

Film Dressings

Film dressings are composed of a thin polyurethane membrane coated with a layer of acrylic adhesive. Whilst being extremely flexible and allowing visualisation of the wound without disturbance, they hold no properties to absorb wound exudate.

These dressings are typically used to manage superficial, minimally exuding wounds and in the case of stage 1 pressure ulcers, offer some protection against friction and shearing forces. Film dressings are not suitable for full thickness, infected or moderate to highly exuding wounds.

Non-CFC Spray Dressing

OpSite* Spray is a transparent and quick drying film which is easy and convenient to apply. The film helps to provide protection for dry minor surgical and surface wounds.

Features

- This product contains no Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants

Benefits

Permeable to moisture vapour and air

OpSite Spray is permeable to moisture vapour and air, allowing the surrounding skin to breathe, so preventing maceration.

Water resistant

The skin area can be bathed easily without affecting the dressing or the wound.

Conformable and elastic

The film stays intact over skin areas that are flexible or mobile such as knuckles.
