OpSite Transparent Film Dressings help keep the wound site dry to promote healing.Constructed with a superior film base and with acrylic adhesive, OpSite Transparent Dressings are resistant to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. Less frequent dressing changes reduce the trauma to the wound area as well as to the patient. Opsite dressings are moisture vapor permeable to pomote healing.
