Ideal for Managing Low to Moderately Exuding Wounds

Opsite Plus Dressings are adhesive film dressings with a low-adherent absorbent pad, suitable for managing low to moderately exuding wounds. Each dressing combines a transparent, waterproof film with a breathable design, helping to maintain a clean environment around the wound. The film allows for visual inspection without removal and is comfortable to wear, even over contoured areas of the body. Designed for ease of use, these dressings are commonly used for post-operative care, minor cuts, abrasions, and lacerations.

7 Reasons to Choose Opsite Plus Dressings

Designed for Low to Moderately Exuding Wounds: Suitable for post-operative wounds, minor cuts, abrasions, and lacerations.
Waterproof and Fluid-Resistant: The outer film is impermeable to water and body fluids, helping to keep the wound area dry and protected.
Absorbent, Low-Adherent Pad: The thick pad absorbs exudate effectively while remaining gentle on the skin, reducing dressing change frequency and helping protect the wound site.
Bacterial Barrier: Acts as a barrier against bacteria, supporting hygienic wound management.
Transparent Film: Allows visual monitoring of the wound without removing the dressing, helping to assess healing and spot signs of infection early.
Comfortable and Flexible: Highly conformable and easy to apply, even on contoured areas of the body. The film moves with the skin and does not restrict mobility.
Easy to Use and Remove: The dressing adheres securely but is designed to minimise trauma during removal, supporting patient comfort.

Suitable for Home and Clinical Use

Opsite Plus Dressings are suitable for individuals needing protection and management of low to moderately exuding wounds. This includes those recovering from surgical procedures, as well as people with minor cuts, abrasions, or lacerations. The dressing is designed for use in both clinical and home care environments, helping support continuity of care as patients move from hospital to community settings. Its waterproof, transparent film and absorbent pad make it especially practical for users who require regular wound monitoring without frequent dressing changes.

How to use Opsite Plus Dressings

  1. Begin by washing your hands and cleaning the wound area with mild soap and water. Gently pat the area dry using a clean cloth or sterile gauze.

  2. Make sure the wound is free from dirt or foreign particles before applying the dressing.

  3. Open the sterile packaging and carefully remove the dressing.

  4. Peel away the protective backing to reveal the adhesive side.

  5. Position the dressing so that the absorbent pad is centred over the wound. Apply it gently, smoothing down the edges to ensure good contact with the skin.

  6. The transparent film allows you to check the condition of the wound without removing the dressing.

  7. Replace the dressing as advised by a healthcare professional or if it becomes loose, soiled, or damaged.

  8. Used dressings should be disposed of in line with local clinical waste guidelines.

  9. Take care when removing the dressing to avoid damaging the skin, especially on sensitive or fragile areas. If you notice redness, irritation, or any signs of discomfort, stop using the dressing and speak to a healthcare professional.
