Smith & Nephew Opsite Protective Transparent Film Dressing Spray – 100ml – Breathable Water-Resistant Wound Barrier – CFC-Free

Breathable, Water-Resistant film spray for protecting minor wounds

Smith & Nephew Opsite Protective Transparent Film Dressing Spray is a clear, quick-drying aerosol designed to cover and protect dry, minor wounds. Once applied, it forms a thin, flexible film that moves with the skin, making it suitable for joints and other hard-to-dress areas such as elbows, knees, and knuckles.

The breathable film allows moisture vapour and air to pass through while creating a water-resistant barrier against external contaminants. Its transparent finish allows the wound site to remain visible without removing the dressing. Easy to apply without direct contact, the spray provides a practical alternative to traditional dressings for everyday wound care. Free from CFC propellants, it is suitable for use in both clinical and home settings.

Ideal for Protecting Dry, Minor Wounds in Everyday Care

This spray dressing is suitable for adults and children over 18 months who need simple, practical protection for dry, minor wounds. It is commonly used for small cuts, grazes, surface wounds, unbroken blisters, and closed surgical incisions.

It is particularly helpful for people who want a flexible, spray-on barrier for areas that are awkward to dress, such as elbows, knees, knuckles, and other joints. The transparent film allows the skin to be observed without removal, which can be useful in everyday wound care.

Opsite Spray is used in both home and clinical settings, including by healthcare professionals, for routine skin protection and to help secure items such as drainage tubes or external orthopaedic fixtures where appropriate.

It is not suitable for infants under 18 months, open or heavily exuding wounds, use with iodine or medicated products, or application around plastic intravascular devices.
