OpSite transparent spray-on dressing, 100 ml bottle.

Spray-on transparent dressing – practical wound care for active lifestyles

Manufactured by Smith & Nephew, the Opsite spray dressing is designed to shield superficial wounds without the bulk of traditional bandages. Once sprayed, it dries rapidly into a transparent film that conforms to the skin’s contours. The dressing is permeable to air, allowing the skin to breathe, while resisting water, sweat and friction. It’s especially useful for hard-to-cover areas like knuckles, elbows and fingers.

Key features of the Opsite transparent spray dressing:

This spray-on dressing stands out for its ease of use and versatility. It’s recommended for dry wounds with no bleeding or exudate, such as abrasions, injection sites, intact blisters and sutured areas. The film remains intact even after washing and movement, making it suitable for mobile body parts. It can also be used to seal skin around drainage tubes or prevent blister formation during physical activity.

How to apply the Opsite spray dressing:

Before application, clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water or an antiseptic solution. Dry the area completely. Shake the bottle and spray from a distance of 10 to 15 cm, ensuring an even layer over the wound. Allow the film to dry for a few seconds without touching the area. This ensures optimal adhesion and protection.

Storage and maintenance of the spray dressing:

The Opsite spray dressing is intended for single-use applications. Reapply if the film deteriorates or after washing. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always close the cap tightly after use to maintain product integrity and prevent evaporation.

Usage tips for optimal results:

Use this transparent dressing on clean, dry wounds that do not require absorbent coverage. It’s ideal for active individuals, outdoor workers and healthcare professionals needing discreet protection. Avoid using on infected or bleeding wounds. If irritation occurs or healing does not progress, consult a medical professional.
