Product details
Description
Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes are an essential solution for individuals who frequently use medical adhesives, tapes, or ostomy appliances. These wipes work by forming a clear, thin, and breathable protective film over the skin, acting as a shield between the body and the adhesive. This barrier is specifically designed to reduce friction and prevent the painful 'skin stripping' that often occurs during the removal of dressings or films.
By preparing the skin surface effectively, these wipes help medical devices adhere better and stay in place longer, which can reduce the frequency of dressing changes and minimize overall skin irritation. The formula is fast-drying, allowing for immediate application of tapes without long wait times. Whether you are managing wound care, an ostomy, or using wearable medical devices, these wipes help maintain skin integrity and prevent redness or injury.
This USA-imported product is trusted by healthcare professionals for its ability to protect even sensitive skin from the repetitive trauma of adhesive contact.

Gave a try another label but these are the top!
This is excellent skin prep. The swab covers a large area around my wound. It also protects my surrounding skin 100% of the time. I tried another brand and it took 4 of the other brand to equal one of these. These are very reasonably priced too. This stuff works.

Top barrier wipe around
As a type 2 diabetic, I find this barrier film wipe to be effective and easy to use. I protects my skin when I apply my CGM (Dexcom G7) and the over-patch. I do not use a barrier film, I get something that looks like a chemical burn/blister wherever the attaching adhesives touch my unprotected skin. The Dexcom CGMs are supposed to run for 10 days. It only takes a few hours for my unprotected skin to skin to react to the adhesives. This product has helped me immensely. I don't have to worry about the intense itching and burning I have endured without it, previously. It is also a relief to not have open sores due to the blistering that can occur when I don't apply a barrier film. I'm sure others have encountered this issue. I have also found this same barrier film as a spray. It helps tremendously. I just spray it liberally on the area to which I want to apply my CGM and over-patches, let it dry, then apply my device and over-patches, rub my finger over the device and patches to be sure the adhesion is strong, then go about my business. Lasts the whole 10 days without fear of irritation, itching, burning, or residual blisters/sores. I am much happier using this product. It is far better than any other product I've tried. I hope this has been helpful.- M. Murphy
