Yes, the patented film of OpSite Post-Op is moisture responsive, reacting to changing skin conditions to ‘switch on’ in the presence of moisture and allow any excess to transpire off. The moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) is approximately 3000g/m2/24hours at 37°C, so skin is kept dry which ensures that the dressing adheres securely, as well as helping to prevent bacterial colonisation which can flourish under moist conditions.
