Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Wipes

Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep Wipes

Skin-Prep protective dressing forms a barrier between the patients skin and adhesives to help preserve skin integrity and prevent insult or injury during removal of tapes and films.

Features and Benefits:

Proven Effectiveness

A series of tests under a scanning electron microscope suggest that Skin-Prep provides effective protection against adhesive trauma.

Improves Adhesion

• Skin-Prep allows skin to "breathe" so tapes and films adhere better and longer.
• Enhanced adhesion increases the interval between dressing changes to save nursing time.
• Less frequent application and removal of adhesive dressings reduces the risk of damage to delicate skin.

Non-Sensitising Formula

Skin-Prep contains Citroflex for added safety and reliable protection with virtually no irritation or allergic reactions. It is safe for long-term use, especially on sensitive skin areas in ostomates and geriatric patients.

Increases Patient Comfort

Skin-Prep helps prevent contact dermatitis and makes adhesive removal less painful for patients.

Convenient Application

Single-use, individually packaged Skin-Prep wipes are more than adequate to provide even more barrier formula where skin needs protection most. It is also available in an easy to use spray can.

Easily Removed

Skin-Prep can be removed with a skin cleanser and water, so there is no need to scrub the skin or expose it to harsh chemical cleansers or solvents that can cause irritation.
