OPSITE FILM DRESSING  |  OPSITE FLEXIFIX  |  OPSITE FLEXIGRID

OPSITE INCISE DRAPES  |  OPSITE POST - OP

 

Description
  The revised Opsite* Post-Op dressings combine the features of the current Opsite Post-Op dressings with the high MVTR Reactic* hydrophilic polyurethane film used to manufacture Opsite* IV3000 Transparent Adhesive Film Dressings.  The patented Reactic* film is 3 to 8 times more permeable to water vapor than standard film dressings.  It can "switch" in the presence of moisture allowing excess moisture to transpire off.
   
Indications

To dress post-operative wounds, minor cuts, abrasions, lacerations and puncture sites where a waterproof dressing, which aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination, is required.

   

Features & Benefits

 
 
  • High MVTR - The patented Reactic* film has a unique molecular structure making it significantly more permeable to water vapor than ordinary films in the presence of moisture.
  • Waterproof Film - Patient can shower with the dressing in place.
  • Bacterial Barrier - Helps protect the site against extrinsic contamination, reducing the risk of infection by bacteria.
  • Latex-Free Formula - A unique grid pattern adhesive.
  • Highly-Absorbent Pad - Rapidly absorbs exudate.  Allows lateral spread across the pad to maximize absorbency and help reduce the risk of skin maceration.
  • Low Adherence - The wound contact layer enables exudate to pass through to allow minimal trauma on removal.
  • Conformable - Comfortable and non-restrictive for the patient.
  • Round Corners / Thin Film - Reduces occurrences of lifting or snag, helping the dressing stay in place longer.
 

Reimbursement Information

  Usual Allowable Amount:    Up to 3 per week, one cover per dressing change.

Specific Coverage Criteria:  Composite dressings are products combining physically distinct components into a single dressing that provides multiple functions. These functions must include, but are not limited to: (a) a bacterial barrier, (b) an absorptive layer other than an alginate, foam, hydrocolloid, or hydrogel, and (c) either a semi-adherent or non-adherent property over the wound site.  May be denied if used with a hydrogel because DMERC considers it an absorptive dressing (see coverage rules).
