Overview
Opsite Transparent Waterproof Dressing is a sterile, flexible film dressing for protecting superficial wounds and postoperative sites. The transparent film allows monitoring of the wound without removing the dressing, provides a waterproof and bacterial barrier, and permits water vapor transmission to help maintain a suitable healing environment. It adheres well and stays in place during showering and routine movement. In pad-equipped models, the absorbent pad is non-adherent to the wound.
