Opsite Post-Op Dressing 6.5 x 5.5cm 2 Pack

Opsite Post-Op Dressing 6.5 x 5.5cm 2 Pack is a sterile, waterproof wound dressing designed to protect post-surgical sites, stitches, cuts, and abrasions. It combines a low-adherent absorbent pad with a transparent, waterproof, and bacteria-resistant film to keep wounds clean while supporting natural healing.

The breathable polyurethane film allows moisture vapour to escape, reducing the risk of maceration, while the soft absorbent pad cushions and protects the wound. Flexible and conformable, it remains comfortable on body contours and joints, providing secure protection without restricting movement.

Each pack contains two dressings for convenient short-term wound care.
