Smith & Nephew OPSITE Spray – Moisture Vapour Permeable Spray Dressing

OPSITE spray by Smith & Nephew is a moisture vapour permeable spray dressing that forms a thin, transparent protective film on the skin. It is used over clean, dry, superficial wounds and surgical incisions, and is often applied over suture lines after plastic and aesthetic surgery.

What Is OPSITE Spray?

OPSITE spray is a liquid film dressing in an aerosol can. When sprayed onto the skin it dries into a flexible, transparent film that protects the wound from contamination while allowing moisture vapour to escape. Because it is applied without touching the wound, it is quick and hygienic to use.

You can read more about this type of dressing on Wikipedia’s liquid bandage overview.

Features of the OPSITE Spray

• Moisture vapour permeable: lets the skin breathe under the film.
• Transparent film: the wound stays visible for inspection.
• No-touch spray: quick, hygienic application.
• Flexible: moves with the skin.
• CFC-free: as stated on the label.
• Trusted brand: manufactured by Smith & Nephew.

Why Use OPSITE Spray After Surgery?

Suture lines on the face and body need protection, but bulky dressings are uncomfortable and hide the wound. OPSITE spray gives a light, invisible barrier that lets the surgeon and patient see the incision, keeps it clean and allows the skin to breathe.

Benefits for Patients

A spray-on film is almost invisible and does not need to be changed like a conventional dressing. Patients can see their incision, which is reassuring, and the thin film does not catch on clothing or pillows. For clinics, the spray is quick to apply at the end of surgery and one can treats many patients, which keeps dressing changes simple and economical.

Clinical Uses

It is suitable for:

• Clean, dry, superficial wounds
• Protection of surgical incisions and suture lines
• Post-operative care after plastic and aesthetic surgery
• Fixation of skin grafts, as indicated on the label

How to Use the Opsite Spray

1. Shake the can well before use.
2. Hold the can about 15 cm from the skin, as stated on the label.
3. Spray evenly over the clean, dry area; several thin layers give the best result.
4. Allow the film to dry before covering or touching the area.
