Product details
Description
Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Protective Wipes are a professional-grade solution designed to safeguard intact skin from the potential trauma of medical adhesives. These wipes apply a thin, breathable liquid film that acts as a protective barrier between the skin and medical tapes, films, or ostomy appliances.
By preparing the surface, they significantly improve the adhesion of dressings while simultaneously reducing the risk of skin stripping and friction during removal. This formula is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin or those requiring frequent dressing changes on high-friction areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
The quick-drying solution leaves no heavy residue, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic experience. Individually packaged for portability, these wipes are essential for both clinical environments and home care, providing a soothing layer that maintains skin integrity during routine medical procedures.

- Cubs I.5 ★
Dependable
As a nurse I recommend these wipes for anyone who has to use an adhesive on their skin such as a colostomy or CGM. They provide a barrier to keep your skin from breaking down. After applying, make sure it is completely dry before applying the adhesive.

Does the job incredibly effectively to prep skin
Been using these skin preps for years . As a type 1 diabetic I use the tacky wipe on my skin before I insert my insulin site for my pump. I also then use the same wipe and go around the insulin sites white sticky ring. Been working well for years with no skin irritation and adherence is very good.
