Skin-Prep Protective Barrier Wipes

SKIN-PREP is a liquid film-forming dressing that, upon application to intact skin, forms a protective film to help reduce friction during removal of tapes and films.  SKIN-PREP can also be used to prepare skin attachment sites for drainage tubes, external catheters, surrounding ostomy sites and adhesive dressings.

Features & Benefits

- Helps tape and film adhesion.
- Fast and easy to use, only one coat is required, so less product is used per application.
- Removes easily using skin cleanser or soap and water, so unsanitary residue isn’t left in or around the wound area.
- Applies easily, even on awkward areas such as elbows, knees, and heels. Moves naturally with patients’ skin and won’t crack or peel.
- Allows skin to "breathe" so tapes and films adhere better.
- May increase intervals between dressing changes.
- Pediatrician tested

Indications

- Apply as a coating to prepare the skin for adhesives.
- Provides a protective interface that may reduce friction during the removal of tape.
- For skin attachment sites: drainage tubes, external catheters, surrounding ostomy sites and other adhesive dressings.
- For use in sensitive stoma areas as a skin protectant.
- May reduce irritation from contact with body wastes and stoma fluid.
- Forms a protective film on skin which may reduce exposure to urine and feces.
- SKIN-PREP should only be used on intact skin.
