When patients are recovering from a GA with a RJ dressing/splint on which you have taken special care to apply under the GA, to prevent the dressing from becoming soiled from urine/diarrhoea, then lightly tape a buster op cover around the dressing, they will protect the dressing from becoming wet and need that time-consuming redress (sometimes under another GA!!!!). it's temporary and can be removed very easily and replaced if necessary.
