Smith&Nephew Opsite ( 15cm X 28cm )

Opsite Incise drape is a transparent, adhesive polyurethane film which allows the skin to breathe, so preventing moisture build-up under the drape. As a result, oposite adheres throughout long surgical operations to the surrounding skin and most importantly to the wound edge

• Characteristics:
  • Adheres right up to wound edge
  • Transparent non-glare surface
  • Thin yet extremely strong
  • Conformable and elastic
  • Provides a sterile working field around the operation site
  • Holds drapes securely in place
  • Each Opsite Incise drape is sterile and individually wrapped in a peel-apart pouch
  • Sterilisation is by ethylene oxide

Advantages:

• Adheres right up to wound edge -
• The drape will provide protection from laterally migrating bacteria because it stays in place even throughout major operations involving prolonged retraction of wound edges
• Transparent non-glare surface -
• The incision site is clearly visible without glare

Thin yet extremely strong:

• Opsite Incise drape is tear-resistant, yet can be cleanly cut with a scalpel

Conformable and elastic:

• Opsite Incise drape is very conformable on awkward operation sites, yet its elastic qualities make it suitable for use where heavy manipulative surgery is involved, for example, in a total hip replacement

Maintains a sterile operation site:

• Opsite Incise drape provides a sterile working field, on to which internal organs may be placed without fear of contamination

Indications:

Suitable for all types of surgery:

• Orthopaedic
• Neurosurgery
• Major abdominal
• Plastic
• Open Heart and Thoracic
• Ophthalmic
