Opsite Post-Op Transparent Waterproof Dressing Features
- Keeps out Germs: It acts like a shield against bacteria, so you're less likely to get another infection.
- Stays Dry: It's like a raincoat for your wound. You can shower with it, and it won't let water or other liquids in.
- See-through Cover: You can see how your wound is doing without taking off the bandage. This helps it stay on longer.
- Fits Well: It can bend and shape your body, even in tricky areas. It won't get in the way of moving, and it's easy to put on.
- Cushioned Protection: The pad in the middle is like a sponge—it soaks up any good and protects your wound. It's gentle too, so changing the bandage doesn't hurt as much.
