Oper Film Surgical
Polyurethane film surgical incise drape
Ensures asepsis of the surgical drape
Transparent polyurethane film that acts as a bacterial barrier in any type of surgery
Oper film surgical is a transparent polyurethane film permeable to water vapour and impermeable to liquids which, used in any type of surgery, prevents the migration of micro-organisms into the surgical site, maintaining optimal conditions even in prolonged operations.
High permeability
The adhesive and transparent polyurethane film facilitates the transpiration of the skin, preventing moisture from accumulating under the sheet and macerating the skin.
Due to its water vapour permeability, it adheres safely to the wound edges to provide continuous antimicrobial protection even in prolonged surgeries.
Bacterial barrier
It prevents micro-organisms of the patient’s skin from contaminating the operation site and vice versa: it protects the patient’s skin from the fluids and bacteria of the surgical drape.
High adherence
The acrylic adhesive adheres to the skin that surrounds the incision for the entire surgical operation, even in prolonged operations and for skin with irregular surfaces, limiting the need to use clamps.
High resistance
The polyurethane film and the acrylic adhesive are resistant to water and temperatures up to 45 ºC.
High elasticity
Oper film surgical adapts to all parts of the body, even the most difficult areas to operate, offering comfort both to the patient and to the health personnel in operations that require a large amount of manipulation.
Transparent surface
The incision site remains clearly visible and reflection-free, allowing constant supervision of the surgical drape.
Application Instructions
1. Disinfect the surgical site according to the protocols of the institution and/or department.
2. Check that the patient’s skin is dry and free of soap residue.
3. Remove the Oper film surgical unit from the individual pouch.
4. Hold the roll of Oper film surgical by each end and position it on the area you want to protect.
5. Remove the first few centimetres of protective siliconised paper (to expose part of the adhesive polyurethane) and place it on the selected area.
6. Push down lightly on the polyurethane to ensure the product adheres to the patient’s skin.
7. Now you can start to unroll the Oper film surgical roll, removing the protective siliconised paper. It is important to have visual contact with the application area to ensure the film is correctly placed.
8. When you see the word “STOP”, stop unrolling the Oper film surgical roll. Spread out the polyurethane film without stretching so that it affixes to the skin. Prevent air bubbles from forming to avoid an uneven adhesion.
9. Using a sterile drape, gently press the polyurethane film onto the patient’s skin to ensure that the adhesive makes good contact and that the best possible fixation is achieved.
10. To remove Oper film surgical, hold the skin surrounding the surgical drape to avoid trauma. Then fold one edge of the film in on itself and slowly remove it backwards at 180º, or folded back on itself while removing the polyurethane film.
