The key role of an absorbant dressing is to absorb and retain exudate. Most absorbant dressings consist of an absorbant material that may have an adhesive border.Absorbant dressings with an adhesive border are ideal for use as a protective dressings and for lightly exuding wounds. Many also have a waterproof covering.The more thicker absorbant dressings are suitable for use on chronic, heavily exuding wounds.Use of creams and ointments may interfere with the absorbancy ability of these dressing.
The Opsite® range brings you a range of waterproof dressings with a transparent film for observing the wound site from outside. There are three types of Opsite dressings; Opsite Flexigrid, Opsite Plus, and Opsite Post-Op. Opsite Flexigrid features an acrylic adhesive film with a measurement grid, which perfectly conforms to awkward body parts while allowing freedom of movement. This vapor permeable dressing evaporates the excess exudates. The Opsite Plus and Opsite Post-Op have a waterproof adhesive film with an absorbent pad. Both these adhesive transparent dressings act as a barrier against bacteria and decrease the risk of maceration. These uniquely designed low-allergy dressings are convenient to use. All these dressings are easy to wear and remove. They are available in multiple sizes.
