Overview
Smith & Nephew Opsite Waterproof (6.5cm x 5cm) is a transparent, flexible film dressing made from a semi-permeable polyurethane film with an acrylic adhesive backing. It is designed as a thin, see-through covering that conforms to the skin through normal daily movement.
This dressing is sold over the counter and supplied as a single pack size of 6.5cm x 5cm. Its transparent design allows the covered area to remain visible without removing the dressing, and its semi-permeable structure allows air and moisture vapour to pass through while forming a barrier against external liquid.
Directions for Use
Clean and dry the area to be covered before application. Peel away the backing paper, place the film directly over the area, and smooth outward from the centre to remove any trapped air. Press the edges down firmly to secure the dressing in place.
Dosage
Not applicable — this is a wound dressing, not a medicine. Apply one dressing per area as needed, and replace it when it begins to lift at the edges, becomes soiled, or after a few days of wear.
Shelf Life
Use before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, at room temperature. Keep the pack sealed until ready to use.
Side Effects
- Common: Mild skin redness at the application site.
- Common: Itching or a rash around the adhesive border.
- Serious: Signs of an allergic reaction, such as spreading rash, swelling, or blistering, which need prompt medical attention.
Contraindications
- Do not apply over infected wounds.
- Do not apply over heavily bleeding or actively discharging wounds.
- Do not use on individuals with a known allergy to acrylic adhesives or polyurethane film.
Drug / Food Interactions
- Not applicable — this is a wound dressing and does not interact with medicines or food.
Quick Tips
- Ensure the skin is completely dry before application so the dressing adheres properly.
- Smooth the film from the centre outward to prevent trapped air bubbles.
- Round off the corners of the dressing with scissors when applying over a joint or curved area, to help it stay in place longer.
- Check the dressing daily for lifting, soiling, or signs of irritation underneath.
- Remove gently by lifting one corner and peeling slowly, rather than pulling sharply.
- Keep a spare dressing on hand for areas exposed to frequent friction or moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Opsite Waterproof Dressing made of?
It is made from a semi-permeable polyurethane film with an acrylic adhesive backing. These materials form the transparent film and the adhesive border that holds the dressing in place.
Can I get this dressing wet?
The polyurethane film is water-resistant once the edges are fully secured against the skin, which is why it is commonly worn during activities such as washing. Prolonged soaking or submersion is not recommended, and the edges should be checked afterward to confirm the seal is intact.
How long can I leave the dressing on before changing it?
The dressing is generally replaced every few days, or sooner if it lifts at the edges, becomes soiled, or shows signs of saturation. Follow the guidance on the product packaging or from a healthcare professional for the specific area being covered.
Can this dressing be used on children?
It can be used on minor wounds on children in the same way as on adults, provided there is no known allergy to the adhesive or film. Adult supervision during application and removal is recommended.
Is a prescription needed to purchase this dressing?
No, this is an over-the-counter wound care product and does not require a prescription.
What should I do if my skin reacts to the adhesive?
Remove the dressing and clean the area. If redness, itching, or a rash persists or spreads, or if there are signs of a stronger allergic reaction, seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist.
