New OPSITE Visible Drain Dressing

 
 
 

 

OPSITE Visible Drain Dressing provides an innovative solution for effectively managing drain sites with the added benefit of being able to monitor the site without lifting the dressing or disturbing the drain.

 

Unique Design
The new OPSITE Visible Drain Dressing has a triple layer construction which combines a low adherent wound contact layer 1, hydrocellular lattice foam pad, a highly permeable waterproof film 2 and two securing strips. It is designed specifically for dressing drainage tubes and other percutaneous catheters.

 

Secure and Comfortable
The pre-cut slit and securing strips help secure the drain in place. The dressing design ensures it is comfortable to wear and the pattern spread low allergy adhesive 3 helps to minimise pain on removal 4.

 

Effective Fluid Management
The absorbent foam pad and highly permeable top film ensure the dressing effectively manages any leakage from the drain site.

Continual monitoring
Unique design allows you to monitor the drain site for signs of any complications as often as you like without unnecessary dressing changes for your patients.

 


Vital Protection against serious consequences
The film is impermeable to bacteria 5 and whilst the dressing remains intact protects the drain site from outside contamination.
