Smith \u0026amp; Nephew Opsite Post-Op combines a transparent waterproof film with an integrated absorbent wound pad to provide complete post-surgical dressing function in a single product — protection, absorbency, and visibility in one application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Opsite Post-Op consists of a central absorbent wound pad surrounded by a Tegaderm-like transparent film border that adheres to the surrounding skin. The pad handles initial surgical site drainage while the film barrier provides waterproof protection. The transparent film allows wound monitoring without disturbing the dressing, reducing the frequency of dressing changes needed in the early post-surgical period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated absorbent pad — manages initial post-surgical drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent waterproof film border — monitors incision without removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof protection — bathing-safe for most cleaning protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-adhesive border — no additional tape required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 3 sizes: 9.5 x 8.5 cm, 15.5 x 8.5 cm, and 25 x 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 dressings per box — multi-patient clinic supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpsite Post-Op is ideal for: covering sutured incision sites post-operatively, routine spay\/neuter incision coverage, orthopaedic surgery wound sites, and any clean surgical wound requiring 3-5 day primary dressing coverage. It is not appropriate for wounds with heavy exudate — the absorbent pad capacity is limited and saturation will compromise the border seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplement Advisor's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transparent film border must be applied to completely dry, clean skin for reliable adhesion. Apply with the backing papers in place, then gradually peel away as you smooth each section of the film border onto the skin. Avoid over-stretching the film during application — this can cause edge lifting and premature dressing failure. Change when the pad centre becomes saturated, when the film edges lift, or at 5-7 day intervals regardless of appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9.5 x 8.5 cm (small incisions), 15.5 x 8.5 cm (medium), and 25 x 10 cm (large incisions).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan my pet be bathed with Opsite Post-Op in place?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe waterproof film is resistant to splashing and brief water exposure, but prolonged soaking (baths, swimming) is not recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Nephew","offers":[{"title":"9.5 cm x 8.5 cm – 20\/Box","offer_id":46657390117049,"sku":"128027","price":80.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15.5 cm x 8.5 cm – 20\/Box","offer_id":46657390149817,"sku":"128031","price":96.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 cm x 10 cm – 20\/Box","offer_id":46657390182585,"sku":"128033","price":125.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/2592\/7609\/files\/128027.jpg?v=1773959703","url":"https:\/\/vivopet.ca\/products\/smith-nephew-opsite-post-op-dressing","provider":"VivoPet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
