Transparent Film Dressing in Spray Form
Smith & Nephew Opsite Dressing Spray delivers the same semi-permeable transparent film protection as Tegaderm or Opsite film dressings in an aerosol spray format — providing waterproof wound coverage for wounds on awkward body sites where pre-cut film dressings are difficult to apply. The spray creates a conforming flexible film that bonds to skin and light fur around the wound perimeter.
Ideal for minor abrasions and superficial wounds on body sites where conventional film or dressing application is impractical. The 100 ml aerosol provides multiple applications. The film is waterproof and breathable, maintaining the wound environment while protecting against contamination.

FAQ
Is this the same as Opsite film dressings?
Same material — different application format. The spray is more convenient for irregular surfaces; film dressings provide more precise, conformable coverage on flat wound areas.
Why Quality Supplies Matter in Veterinary Wound Care
Every component of a wound care dressing system matters — from the wound contact layer to the outer fixation layer. Using professional-grade supplies designed for veterinary use ensures consistent performance, appropriate material safety, and compatibility with the other components of the dressing system. Home-use or hardware store substitutes may seem interchangeable but often lack the softness, sterility standards, or material specifications required for safe wound care.
VivoPet sources wound care supplies from the same professional veterinary distributors that supply Canadian veterinary hospitals. This means the products available here are the same items your veterinarian uses in clinic — not consumer-market approximations of professional supplies. If your veterinarian has recommended a specific wound care protocol, the supplies available at VivoPet allow you to follow that protocol consistently at home between clinic visits.
Supplement Advisor's Note
Wound healing is a complex biological process that depends not just on the dressing materials used, but on consistent dressing change frequency, appropriate wound cleaning technique, and timely identification of complications like infection or dressing-related pressure injury. If a wound is not showing visible improvement after 5-7 days of home wound care, or if you observe increasing redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge, consult your veterinarian before continuing home management. Early identification of complications prevents minor issues from becoming major setbacks in the healing process.
